Washer and dryer in the kitchen

I wonder how common this is outside the US?

Even here, some houses have separate laundry rooms, but washer and dryer in the kitchen seems to be a pretty standard setup, especially in homes with no basement.

    I find that the setup you're talking about is more common in older houses in the US.
    Newer houses without a basement often have them in the hallway, garage, or a separate room somewhere (often next to the garage).

    Laundry rooms are practically unheard of here.

    Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I don't think I've ever seen a house with the washer and dryer in the kitchen.

    I distinctly remember this one suburban Queens or maybe Valley Stream (in/near New York City, on Long Island) house with a one-car garage and a kitchen with washer and dryer like smack dab in between other things in the kitchen.

    I remember seeing this setup in other places too but none are as memorable as that one.

    At my old house we had the laundry room in the basement and moved the washer and dryer to the kitchen when we started renting out the bottom part of the house.

    It wouldn't have been a problem except that that upstairs kitchen was already too small for the three of us and the laundry being in there only exacerbated that.

    Where I live, houses have basements, and the laundry room is not in the kitchen.

    We have a closet space off the hall for our washer and dryer. This seems common in many apartments.

    Both my grandmother's house (where I live) and my parents' house are little 1950s homes with no basements, and both have the washer and dryer in the kitchen.

    My sister's house has the washing machine (no tumble dryer) in the kitchen, but she does live in a tiny semi-detached house with only two room downstairs: the living room and the kitchen.

    In my house, we have a seperate room for the washing machine (again, no tumble dryer), and it's the same room where the dog sleeps at night.
