When we restored an older home, we had the chance to decide where to put laundry room and decided on 2nd floor hallway, and am sooooo happy we did. When we were doing a load a day, with kids at home, with lots of athletic clothes etc., it was so easy to manage. Plus the ease for towels, linens – all the stuff that generates a lot of laundry happens on the second floor. We had a under-the-washing-machine liner, in case of over flow though – knock wood – never needed it. I tend to fold on our bed, then move laundry in baskets to the bedrooms, all so easy. It wouldn’t have been a massive inconvenience to go down to the first floor, but I sure am glad I don’t have to!
