I just found out today that many Europeans have their clothes washers in their kitchens... Why is that? Here in Quebec, we keep ours in the bathroom, in the basements, or in recesses behind closet doors in hallways.
The bathroom is the ideal place. That way, you can take off your clothes and stick them in the washer, get a shower, then reach into your dryer and pull out a fresh hot towel from the dryer. Europeans would have to get naked in the kitchen, while avoiding getting mustard on their genitals (that burns) go get their shower, come back to the kitchen dripping water all over the floor if they want a dryer fresh towel. I'm all for nudity, but function must be at the forefront.
So where is your washer and dryer?
Also, while I'm discussing appliances:
I've always thought about having two dishwashers(A and B) instead of cabinets. One dishwasher (A) contains your clean dishes. As you use dishes, you put them in dishwasher B. When it is full, you start a load and reverse the process. Gone would be the days of taking dishes from a place they will wind back up in anyways.
