washer right, dryer left.....that's the way they were installed because that is where the dryer vent is and the water pipes are by the washer
I would say in most cases its going to depend on where the sink the water from the washer drains and where the dryer vent is.
At the house I grew up in the sink was off to the right so washer was on the right and dryer on the left.
My current house the sink is off to the left so washer is on the left dryer is on the right.
Washer on the left, dryer on the right the past 5 years since we got our front loaders. That is not how we wanted them. But the installer pointed out that front load washers, at least our LG, have the door on the WASHER hinged on the left side, and the door on the DRYER hinged on the right side and they are designed to be placed this way so you can move the washing to the dryer without having the door in the way.
Our dryer vent is on the left side, so I had to get a longer vent tube when we put the dryer on the right side.
I just reversed the swing of the dryer door when it was on the wrong side. It was easy to do.Washer on the left, dryer on the right the past 5 years since we got our front loaders.

Ok guys, I'm losing this battle with DH. I told him I was sure 99% of the DISers would say washer on the left. I will walk slowly away from this thread and be thankful that DH never reads the DIS!!

You made me go look. My doors are not reversible. We have a utility sink, but it is in the garage, not the laundry room.I just reversed the swing of the dryer door when it was on the wrong side. It was easy to do.
Every washer and dryer went where the hookups were. Dryer on the outside wall closest to the vent connection. Washer closest to the utility sink (I think I've had a utility sink in most of my laundry rooms).
