Help with where to put dishwasher

Hi, we are buying a house, and was just looking for advice regarding the kitchen. We probably won't have the money to get a new kitchen so will need to paint the cabinets, but I need to find somewhere for the dishwasher to go. Any thoughts?

Move the washing machine? Im never a fan of washing in the kitchen

if you can move the washing machine, that is definitely the best option.

If not, you might get a 40cm dishwasher in the space next to the washing machine.

Or narrow one to right of sink but you’d need to cut down the plinth and corner cupboard.

The easiest place is to put it next the washing machine or the next cupboard along as you change the pipes under the sink to accommodate the dishwasher. Assume at some point you will look to replace the kitchen and this is temporary measure. (The lighting would drive me nuts - I would have to have that out PDQ - reminds me of my 1970s childhood)

I put the dishwasher in front of the window and give him a pair of marigolds.

You’l be restricted by where you can plug it into water pipes unless you want to get into plumbing work, so let that guide you.
