houseologyLaundry cupboard 90cm wide x 60cm deep created by "borrowing" space from bathroom. A worktop over the washing machine is a place for plies of ironing while garments for airing can by hing on the rail placed 120cm above the worktop. A tall slot to one side forms a home for the irnining board and cleaning products.

Handmade Kitchen CoTucked away just off the open-plan kitchen, the utility room is cleverly built into the new extension, separated by a reflective wall positioning and still maintaining a sense of flow within the home. Designed to be a practical part of the space, its architectural detailing ties beautifully back to the main kitchen with the cornices and skirting. Our client opted to purchase the additional cornice and skirting through us to ensure a seamless connection between the two rooms.
These exquisite details echo the timeless style of the kitchen, elevating the utility room far beyond the purely functional space it becomes. The builder’s expertly crafted wall panelling adds an elegant touch, bringing refined character.
Though more private, this utility room is an example of the design language of the larger kitchen while offering a practical and stylish area for everyday tasks, not that far away.
A true continuation of the kitchen’s elegance and craftsmanship is the utility room. It still features our Classic In-Frame Shaker cabinetry but with the added detail of a cockbeaded front frame. The joinery is then highlighted with Farrow & Ball’s Dove Tale to match the main kitchen cabinetry.
It’s a space that has become cohesive and perfectly suited to its functional purpose.
Though compact in its galley-style layout, the utility is rich in both beauty and practicality, cleverly built with storage that maximises the narrow footprint, housing a second dishwasher and the main functions of a utility, the washing machine and tumble dryer. The focal point of this run is the impressive Shaws 800 single bowl butler sink, perfectly paired with a Perrin & Rowe Ionian tap with rinse in an aged brass finish. A deck-mounted traditional soap dispenser, also by Perrin & Rowe and in matching aged brass, adds a charming, heritage-inspired detail that complements the room’s functionality.
To maintain the design harmony, the utility features the same Armac Martin Queslett knobs on a rectangular backplace in the satin antique lacquered finish as used in the kitchen, creating a subtle thread of continuity. Further enhancing the room’s refined aesthetics are the Calacatta Storm quartz worktops with their striking, marble-inspired surface.
Every element of the kitchen’s design language is thoughtfully mirrored here in this room, proving that practicality can be every bit as beautiful.

Amy Pearson DesignAPD was hired to update the primary bathroom and laundry room of this ranch style family home. Included was a request to add a powder bathroom where one previously did not exist to help ease the chaos for the young family. The design team took a little space here and a little space there, coming up with a reconfigured layout including an enlarged primary bathroom with large walk-in shower, a jewel box powder bath, and a refreshed laundry room including a dog bath for the family’s four legged member!
