• I’d like to hide our freestanding washing machine behind new kitchen base unit door (not up for integrated machine for manifold reasons).

    Current machine is ~650mm deep, meaning I’d need to mount the entire run of base units at least 50mm forward and end up with a ~700mm deep worktop.

    Am I nuts, or is this commonly done? If not, why?

  • If you have the space go for it. Ideally get deep cabinets too so you’re not wasting space. I built cabinetry around our freestanding WM and it’s great, doesn’t vibrate anything when it’s spins up and the door stays perfectly aligned. Integrated WMs can do one.
