Traditional Utility Room with Bamboo Flooring Ideas and Designs
Nouvelle Kitchens & BathroomsThe kitchen and dining room are part of a larger renovation and extension that saw the rear of this home transformed from a small, dark, many-roomed space into a large, bright, open-plan family haven. With a goal to re-invent the home to better suit the needs of the owners, the designer needed to consider making alterations to many rooms in the home including two bathrooms, a laundry, outdoor pergola and a section of hallway.
This was a large job with many facets to oversee and consider but, in Nouvelle’s favour was the fact that the company oversaw all aspects of the project including design, construction and project management. This meant all members of the team were in the communication loop which helped the project run smoothly.
To keep the rear of the home light and bright, the designer choose a warm white finish for the cabinets and benchtop which was highlighted by the bright turquoise tiled splashback. The rear wall was moved outwards and given a bay window shape to create a larger space with expanses of glass to the doors and walls which invite the natural light into the home and make indoor/outdoor entertaining so easy.
The laundry is a clever conversion of an existing outhouse and has given the structure a new lease on life. Stripped bare and re-fitted, the outhouse has been re-purposed to keep the historical exterior while provide a modern, functional interior. A new pergola adjacent to the laundry makes the perfect outside entertaining area and can be used almost year-round.
Inside the house, two bathrooms were renovated utilising the same funky floor tile with its modern, matte finish. Clever design means both bathrooms, although compact, are practical inclusions which help this family during the busy morning rush. In considering the renovation as a whole, it was determined necessary to reconfigure the hallway adjacent to the downstairs bathroom to create a new traffic flow through to the kitchen from the front door and enable a more practical kitchen design to be created.
MDB Design GroupThe laundry area was behind bi-fold doors, but did not function very well. By stacking the washer and dryer, space for a new base cabinet with a deep sink was created. A wall cabinet provides storage for the cleaning supplies. The mops and brooms are organized on a wall bracket. A new LED ceiling light was added. New, wider bi-fold doors were installed. The solid exterior door was replaced with a glass door to bring the outside, in.Mary Broerman, CCIDC
Schulte Design BuildOur clients loved their homes location but needed more space. We added two bedrooms and a bathroom to the top floor and dug out the basement to make a daylight living space with a rec room, laundry, office and additional bath.
Although costly, this is a huge improvement to the home and they got all that they hoped for.

Target Building Solutions, LLCThe laundry room is in the master bath, we removed the doors, painted the cabinets, painted the interior walls white. The idea is the entire area turns white and clean looking. With a pop of orange :)
Stacey Kocevar Designs, LLCBy removing the wall between the kitchen and dining room, we were able to open the space up and even incorporate a laundry room on the first floor, in what was a sun porch prior to the renovation. The original kitchen was small, with very little storage and even less counter space. The new space has plenty of organized storage, display cabinets, a properly vented hood for the gas range, greatly increased amount of counter space, and even a large island with storage, as well as seating for 4. There is also plenty of room for a dining table to truly make this an eat-in kitchen. The new windows allow for great views from the kitchen, as well as providing plenty of natural light. This all white kitchen as the perfect amount of "pop" with the blue and white glass accent tile, especially the accent under the hood.
