You'd have to create a "step up" look from the standard counter to the counter over the washer/dryer, and this would likely involve replacing all the counters. Like this:

The other option would be to pick a different material entirely so you don't have to replace the other counters, like this:

Note how they built cabinets around the units and pulled them forward. I'm not sure this is feasible in your case, because you don't have much clearance for the door swings of the washer/dryer.

In your shoes, I might get a stacking kit instead and extend the cabinetry so you have more room to fold:

Design as a shelf, not a counter. Secure it to the wall walls using L-brackets.

Maybe plywood, cut to fit, and cover top with removable wallpaper.

Amazon has dozens of patterns.

IMO since you have counter space in your laundry room, I don't think it's necessary to have a counter over the machines. It looks like they match and they're SS - nothing wrong with their appearance. Just more trouble than it's worth to put a counter over them.

Agree with the previous poster. There is very limited space there now. The appliance tops serve as a functional counter space.

When we build our house, the laundry room will be a very nice space. right windows and lots of room. Only a few cabinets (waste of space), proper sink and wash basin, folding space with bookshelf like shelving designed for laundry baskets. Room to put laundry carts for proper sorting.

It will be located next to the main bathroom/shower.

Any other full bathroom will have space for a stacked compact washer and dryer (Ventless). Too many people go for form over function.

There will also be a proper floor drain in all locations with a laundry or bathroom (with a decorative tile mural or surround).

i know this may sound bad, but i would not be happy using a launddy like that for any length of time. Way too cramped.

I looked at all of the configurations above, and they all look attractive and very usable. But I would worry about an emergency need to cut off the water to the washer because of an issue, without resorting to turning off the main supply to the house, How easy is it to grab hold of the washer when not stacked and pull it out when it is enclosed? And having had a stacked set, I know how heavy and cumbersome they are, and that would be even worse to try and pull out of such enclosures.
