Laundry room dilemma

8 years ago

I have a laundry room next to guest bedroom on 2nd floor. I am thinking to use 3/4 of the laundry room space to covert into compact size full bath for guest room. The guests have to use the hallway bathroom right now. Laundry room would turn into laundry closet with dryer and washer stacked on top of each other. Is this a good idea in terms of home value? Is turning laundry room into Iaundry closet a bad idea?

this might be a better question on the remodeling forum. We here, can provide some help, but we focus on machines, laundry practices, and products.

I would comment that for resale value it might be better to leave the laundry room as is. I believe most homeowners are more interested in their own convenience rather than a guest suite for occasional visitors. Having just built a house with a spacious LR I would not go back to the one I had in my previous house if I could help it.

Is this a 2nd laundry for the guests?
