Creative places to place a tumble dryer?

Have you successfully put a tumble dryer somewhere unique in your home that isn't the garage? If so, I would love to hear it, looking for ideas that won't require renovating a space.

In a garden shed right outside the kitchen door. It lives happily with its friends the overflow freezer and the two spare dining chairs!

On top of the washing machine by the back door (sort of utility area). Vent gets put through the cat flap when it's on!

Mine is in my upstairs hallway airing cupboard which one upon a time would have housed the hot water tank etc.......

Mine is in my porch. There just happens to be a tumble dryer shaped space there!

What? Don't shut your working tumble drier behind doors! A really bad idea.

Ours is in our spare room. It has a tank, so isn't 'plumbed' in.

It's fine if there's adequate ventilation, ie louvred doors. Obviously not a vented dryer, but if it's a condensor one it can work well. You can get them built in and put behind a kitchen cupboard door just like a washing machine.

It was a pain to get it up the stairs and we have put in a vent and leave the door slightly open when in use, but it works so well. We got an AEG heat pump one and its brilliant.
