I believe having a washing machine in the kitchen is a British thing. I've never ever seen anyone do that and I've been to quite a few EU countries.

I've lived in a couple of flats in Sweden that did it that way, mainly because the bathrooms are so small there is no space there for a washing machine.

Although by far the most common solution is to have no washing machine in the flat and a shared washing machine in the basement

Many Americans have washing machine in the kitchen, especially in older and smaller apartments.
