historically, laundry was done in the kitchen. before washing machines, you had to boil water to wash clothes, no reason to move a huge pot of water to a different room.

as washing machines were invented and advanced, they still were usually kept int he kitchen or in a back room off the kitchen (if they were a bit wealthier to afford an extra room like that).

it wasn't until the post-WWII housing boom, that that function was moved from the kitchen to its own room or the basement.
