I'm def. not a pro but I vote no. Personally I wouldn't want to keep my nonperishable items the same place I dump/wash dirty clothes (not to mention the mustiness)!

I have this in my current home, along with a second fridge in the laundry room. DON’T DO IT. One big granite counter for food and laundry.

No. But I will say that with a caveat. If you more fully explain what you are trying to accomplish ? Or if you have a floor plan? You're building, you're renovating ..........etc? Post it.

It depends on the style of your home. If it is casual, country styled it makes sense. It also depends on square footage and practical need to combine. If you lay it out so one wall is laundry and the rest pantry it would look and function best. You may be able to use doors to section or separate it within the total space. Best wishes!

Not a fan conceptually. Dirty laundry near food. Any heat or steam that might be generated near food. Seems odd.

I vote no. Laundry rooms equal lint and dust regardless of how neat and tidy you are. The vents and dryer just create it. I wouldn't want my food in that environment.

I’m going to be the lone comment that says it’s okay. I have a long wall in my laundry room -in essence, The Pantry - that holds our non-perishables. It has bi-fold doors and tons of shelves. The second refrigerator is in there too, right around the corner from the main kitchen fridge. Our front loaders are in there, plus a deep sink.
We do not have young children and the laundry is brought from the bedrooms and done in here. It’s also folded in the bedrooms because I prefer to do that.
I don’t consider my laundry room a musty, messy place. It is walked through hundreds of times a day since it is the next part of the house from the garage after the mud room.

I dislike walk in pantries to begin with and to mix food, and laundry in the same space makes even less sense. If you want to store extra toilet paper, paper towels it makes sense for those items . True pullout pantries give you much better and more useable storage in a lot less space , what I mean by true is that you donot have to open a door to pullout the shelves.You can even have a whole bank of them on a fridge wall.

We have the laundry in the pantry. What I like about it is having the laundry close to the kitchen. I always know when to rotate the laundry because it’s close by.

What i dont Like is when the laundry piles up, it gets messy and there is no place to move. If you are a tidy person who always puts things away, that won’t be an issue. Also, we run an inn, so we have lots of laundry piles every day. That, of course, won’t apply to everyone.

It it never occurred to me to worry about steam or dust on my food. I don’t pile the laundry inside the cabinets and there is plenty of space and airflow in the room.

It’s a utility room, not an entertaining space. It makes great use of space.

Thank you all for your comments. Here is the layout. The non perishables would be on shelves opposite the washer/dryer. This is new construction.

I think it's a very practical situation--close to the kitchen yet separate. I would just make sure that you have enough storage space for what you need to store, and that you have enough room for your laundry tasks (sorting, folding, hanging, etc.)

We've stayed in many European homes and almost all of them have the washer in the kitchen. If they have a dryer, it's there too. I don't see the problem. Dirty laundry goes from the hamper directly into the washing machine, not on the floor or counter. And then it's clean. I never noticed any moisture issues.
