Contemporary Utility Room with Green Walls Ideas and Designs
Mihaly SlocombeBrunswick Parlour transforms a Victorian cottage into a hard-working, personalised home for a family of four.
Our clients loved the character of their Brunswick terrace home, but not its inefficient floor plan and poor year-round thermal control. They didn't need more space, they just needed their space to work harder.
The front bedrooms remain largely untouched, retaining their Victorian features and only introducing new cabinetry. Meanwhile, the main bedroom’s previously pokey en suite and wardrobe have been expanded, adorned with custom cabinetry and illuminated via a generous skylight.
At the rear of the house, we reimagined the floor plan to establish shared spaces suited to the family’s lifestyle. Flanked by the dining and living rooms, the kitchen has been reoriented into a more efficient layout and features custom cabinetry that uses every available inch. In the dining room, the Swiss Army Knife of utility cabinets unfolds to reveal a laundry, more custom cabinetry, and a craft station with a retractable desk. Beautiful materiality throughout infuses the home with warmth and personality, featuring Blackbutt timber flooring and cabinetry, and selective pops of green and pink tones.
The house now works hard in a thermal sense too. Insulation and glazing were updated to best practice standard, and we’ve introduced several temperature control tools. Hydronic heating installed throughout the house is complemented by an evaporative cooling system and operable skylight.
The result is a lush, tactile home that increases the effectiveness of every existing inch to enhance daily life for our clients, proving that good design doesn’t need to add space to add value.

Asada - Schiebetüren Möbel nach Maß SchablowskyDie breite Nische haben wir oberhalb der Waschmaschine geschlossen mittels einer Leimholzplatte 28 mm aus Eiche geölt. Die Freiform an der Frontkane resultiert aus dem Rücksprung der rechten Wand. Auch die Wischleisten sind aus Leimholzplatte Eiche 18 mm.
Für den Platz rechts neben der Waschmaschine haben wir einen Wäschewagen hergestellt, den man auf Rollen aus der Nische ziehen kann.
Für den Platz links neben der Waschmaschine haben wir ein schmales Regal für Putzmittel hergestellt.
Oberhalb der Leimholzplatte gibt es noch eine Nische, in die wir vier Leimholzplatten 18 mm geölt auf Tragarme des Stahlregals der Firma elfa gelegt haben. So wurde dieser Platz optimal ausgenutzt!
Oberhalb der Waschmaschine gibt es ein weiteres Hängeregal des Herstellers elfa mit einem Gitterboden (in der Breite auf die Wand länge gekürzt), einer Kleiderstange sowie einem Trockengestell, welches nach unten abgeklappt werden kann

Blue Envelope Designs, LLCWho said a Laundry Room had to be dull and boring? This colorful laundry room is loaded with storage both in its custom cabinetry and also in its 3 large closets for winter/spring clothing. The black and white 20x20 floor tile gives a nod to retro and is topped off with apple green walls and an organic free-form backsplash tile! This room serves as a doggy mud-room, eating center and luxury doggy bathing spa area as well. The organic wall tile was designed for visual interest as well as for function. The tall and wide backsplash provides wall protection behind the doggy bathing station. The bath center is equipped with a multifunction hand-held faucet with a metal hose for ease while giving the dogs a bath. The shelf underneath the sink is a pull-out doggy eating station and the food is located in a pull-out trash bin.
Mon Concept HabitationZoom sur la rénovation partielle d’un récent projet livré au cœur du 15ème arrondissement de Paris. Occupé par les propriétaires depuis plus de 10 ans, cet appartement familial des années 70 avait besoin d’un vrai coup de frais !
Nos équipes sont intervenues dans l’entrée, la cuisine, le séjour et la salle de bain.
Pensée telle une pièce maîtresse, l’entrée de l’appartement casse les codes avec un magnifique meuble toute hauteur vert aux lignes courbées. Son objectif : apporter caractère et modernité tout en permettant de simplifier la circulation dans les différents espaces. Vous vous demandez ce qui se cache à l’intérieur ? Une penderie avec meuble à chaussures intégré, de nombreuses étagères et un bureau ouvert idéal pour télétravailler.
Autre caractéristique essentielle sur ce projet ? La luminosité. Dans le séjour et la cuisine, il était nécessaire d’apporter une touche de personnalité mais surtout de mettre l’accent sur la lumière naturelle. Dans la cuisine qui donne sur une charmante église, notre architecte a misé sur l’association du blanc et de façades en chêne signées Bocklip. En écho, on retrouve dans le couloir et dans la pièce de vie de sublimes verrières d’artiste en bois clair idéales pour ouvrir les espaces et apporter douceur et esthétisme au projet.
Enfin, on craque pour sa salle de bain spacieuse avec buanderie cachée.

Hierarchy Architecture + Design, PLLCThe laundry room / mudroom in this updated 1940's Custom Cape Ranch features a Custom Millwork mudroom closet and shaker cabinets. The classically detailed arched doorways and original wainscot paneling in the living room, dining room, stair hall and bedrooms were kept and refinished, as were the many original red brick fireplaces found in most rooms. These and other Traditional features were kept to balance the contemporary renovations resulting in a Transitional style throughout the home. Large windows and French doors were added to allow ample natural light to enter the home. The mainly white interior enhances this light and brightens a previously dark home.
