Pantry or Laundry Room?

[Account Closed]

I am renovating a home and the kitchen has  very small closet/pantry  space. The plan is to move the washer dryer into the garage and use the laundry room as the new kitchen pantry. The good news if we do this the small bathroom that shares the kitchen pantry wall can be improved. We would be able to widen the bathroom by about a foot which would create a much wider door opening. What are the advantages and disadvantages of having the washer dryer in the garage We would build a platform for them and add shelf space  for laundry items.
