Housing the washing and cleaning appliances, along with a second freezer or fridge, in the utility room increases space in your kitchen.
Of course, there’s a risk of a utility room becoming cluttered and feeling cramped, which isn’t going to motivate you to do the household chores.
This is where our design expert and smart utility storage ideas can make your space more inviting.
Our pull-out storage units make better use of existing space, including larders with easy access wire baskets, and pull-out bins that keep the rubbish out of sight.
Choosing open, easy to access shelving as an alternative to wall cabinets not only clears the clutter but stops the room from feeling closed off by covering the walls with cabinets – which is especially important if you’re working with a smaller space.
Integrated washer dryers are another great idea for utility rooms acting as a way to save space, making doing the laundry easier and more efficient.
Our design experts advise opting for lighter colours, as utility rooms can be dark and compact. Neutral shades act as a great small utility room idea, helping to make the room feel airy and open.
Utility rooms often lack natural light. Strategically placed lighting is a great laundry room idea to help banish the shadows and illuminate work areas.
Under-cabinet lighting like recessed spotlights and LED strips are a perfect solution for when folding clothes after doing the laundry.
Considered lighting will balance a unit filled space, adding brightness and a welcomed depth complementing your utility room’s design.
