We are working on the plan for our upcoming retirement home build.

The laundry room will be off the main entry and will also serve as a mud room as it will have a door going out to a second entry porch.

I am debating going from my old top load washer set up to a front load. My main reason being that I will gain counter space above the units that could be used as a folding station. I'm 5'4" so wondered if these units are too tall for a usable folding area.

Realistically I will still probably take the laundry to my bed and fold there, but hubby says he wants a dedicated place to fold. Yes, he folds his own, I made it known from the get go that I hate folding so would do mine and the kids only!

Here is the basic layout. The cabinets on the front wall will only be 15" deep. I may get rid of some and create a bench with hooks for coats but not sure yet. The door into the entry is a pocket door. I have pulled the cabinet with the sink in it forward as I plan to have a hanging rod above the sink.

Here is a set up on Pinterest that I like.
