Laundry/Loo what to do?
+2
My 8 year old new build home looks like a bomb site as I go from room to room trying different methods to fix design in flaws only to get knee deep in more trouble, I am a single mom with an autistic son and struggling so I decided to ask for help! One major problem is the kitchen but for this I will start of with the utility and work round. This is northern Ireland so the homes we design are a little different from American homes and far less functional with a lot less for your money, this home cost around $375,000 and is ridiculous. The first and foremost we are unlucky unless building our home ourselves we rarely get utilities or laundry room, but what I have is a different story I have an under-stair loo that has a door to enclosed it off from a tiny 3x 2 foot storage space where I crammed in my dryer as this is accommodated in the kitchen too.
I had this storage closet with a second door to a tiny downstairs bathrooms so firstly I removed the second door for ease of access to replace with a bi-fold I never did now if your on the loo you look,at the dryer!!! I even installed Ikea allot around for shelving which in my opinion is over priced and poor quality.
I am wrecking my brain as of what to do you will need pictures so I am only hoping I can go back in and add some to the post.
My idea is to install a new loo, we have a new type here with the sinks in the top of the loo and all I'm one, sounds crazy but I will post a pic of that and hopefully be able to add more or a combo that will free up valuable floor space. Then pull down the tiny stud surround that divided the two spaces move it back at least a few feet feet put a bifold up and hopefully even have room for more shelving to hide the laundry which is currently ruining the kitchen.
Even ideas on how to rearrange the algot system would be of help! All in this space is around 6 ft long by 3 ft wide. Remember, I haven't much resources and this needs to be as economical and achievable as possible for me alone. Thank you in advance for any help. I would rip it out all together but we need it as I have fibromayagia and have to spend most of my time upstairs when I became ill due to it. Ps please do not judge it is an embarrassment!

This pro it is around $320.
This which is much nicer similar price buy do no know if will fit.
if I could get it right the children and I could spend more family time down stairs, I started but was much too ill to finish.
It could be moved back to this window
this is the dryer
as you can see it is under the stairs
I'd put magnets on the dryer and switch out cartoons, short articles, etc.
