Putting laundry in the bathroom is one of the smartest moves in a small home, and one of the easiest to get wrong. Search for it and you get photo galleries: beautiful rooms, no dimensions, no clearances, no mention of what two humid functions in one small room actually do to each other. This guide is the practical version. Four layouts by room shape, the measurements that decide whether your plan works, how to handle the moisture, and four ways to make the machines disappear.
Short answer: The four layouts that work are stacked in an alcove, side by side under a counter, hidden in a closet behind doors, and the U-shape with laundry on one wall. Allow about 70 cm width and 90 cm depth per machine including hoses, plus 60 cm of clear standing space in front, and keep 20 cm of breathing room beside the toilet. Then add ventilation, because two wet functions in one small room is the mistake nobody warns you about.
