Is there a 'standard' amount of space that should be left between kitchen
cabinets for a free-standing washing machine?
I'm installing a new kitchen at the moment and have left a 600mm gap. The
washing machine I have at the moment fits snugly but I'm worried that it
might damage the cabinet run when on a fast spin cycle or that when I buy
a new washing machine there may not be enough room.
I'm at a stage where I can increase the gap reasonably easily if I must
rather than regret it later.

IME getting it into a 600 mm gap is next to impossible.

I always make mine bigger.
