The availability of enough space in your balcony for the washing machine and/or dryer (front-load or top load). The provision of additional storage for cleaning and drying equipment when the need arises. The layout should be such that the area doesn’t look too cluttered and claustrophobic. The practicality and durability of the utility worktops and the internal layout of the shelves, cupboards, etc. The provision of flexibility in design accommodates the ironing board, deep sink and vacuum cleaner. The balcony laundry area’s theme should be in sync with the rest of your house (~visual continuity). The provision of ample sunlight (fully/partially) so that the clothes can dry out easily and quickly. The provision of good drainage, ventilation, heating and electrical power systems can be connected to the already existing ones set up indoors.
