Here we see the storage of the washer, dryer, and laundry behind the custom-made wooden screens. The laundry storage area features a black matte metal garment hanging rod above Ash cabinetry topped with polished terrazzo that features an array of grey and multi-tonal pinks and carries up to the back of the wall. The wall sconce features a hand-blown glass globe, cut and polished to resemble a precious stone or crystal.

This 1930's cottage update exposed all of the original wood beams in the low ceilings and the new copper pipes. The tiny spaces was brightened and given a modern twist with bright whites and black accents along with this custom tryptic by Lori Delisle. The concrete block foundation wall was painted with concrete paint and stenciled.

Questa foto è la disposizione (senza ante) del mobile a muro della lavanderia, molto contenitivo ed ordinato. Sul lato sinistro vediamo il vano per lavatrice ed asciugatrice, a fianco un vano per le scope e detersivi, al di sopra tutti i ripiani e poi a destra il "famoso cestone dei panni sporchi" con ulteriori ripiani.

Dans une maison datant du milieu du 19ieme siècle, la cuisine actuelle de notre client est un grand espace baigné de lumière, qui demande un rajeunissement, car souffre du manque de rangement, et manque de plan de travail. Une succession de meubles de cuisine juste posés sans recherche d’harmonie et dépareillés. Le souhait de notre client est de repenser cette pièce pour qu’elle devienne cuisine avec espace repas, arrière cuisine et buanderie. La lumière est traversante : une fenêtre et une porte vitrée à chaque extrémité de la pièce. La clarté et la lumière doivent être conservées. Les deux colonnes seront si possible cachées. Deux points d’eau préexistent dans la pièce. Deux entrées, conserver un visuel aéré dès l’arrivée dans la pièce. Les poutres au plafond sont conservées, mises en valeur par un retour au bois (décapage-aérogommage) ou simplement repeintes. Petites verrières sur mesure pour séparer les espaces cuisine, coin-repas, buanderie et arrière cuisine. Matériaux de prédilection : le bois, le verre avec une petite touche de style contemporain et industriel

Per ovviare alla necessità di avere la lavatrice/asciugatrice e del contenimento generale in questo Loft, abbiamo optato per inserire un mobile a muro molto contenitivo ed ordinato, a "scomparsa visiva" all'interno del bagno. Visto che il cliente aveva un solo bagno, era alta la possibilità di avere a vista una lavatrice/asciugatrice ed il "famoso cestone dei panni sporchi". Quindi per rendere tutto più armonioso, bello esteticamente ed ordinato, la scelta di questo armadio è stata azzeccata. I frontali, inoltre, essendo divisi in 8 ante, sono stati fresati con un taglio orizzontale per rendere meno netta la suddivisione delle stesse. Tra poco si vedrà tutto in dettaglio.

un bagno piccolissimo ma attrezzato a lavanderia, il tutto ben nascosto dietro un mobile con ante a soffietto, per lasciare l'immagine del secondo bagno sempre fresca e ordinata. Non più un bagno di servizio, bensì un piccolo gioiello degno del resto dell'abitazione.

Gym & Yoga Studio In this project we created a multi-functional space. It was important to balance the energy flow in the space as the client wanted to be able to achieve high intensity training and also to relax unwind. We introduced large windows and sliding doors to allow the energy to flow through the building. Another challenge was introducing storage while not overcrowding the space. We achieved this by building a small second level platform which is accessible via retractable steps. Our choice of palette supported the clients request for a multifunctional space, we brought in a balance of elements focusing predominately on water and wood. This also enhances and ties in the beautiful lush green landscape connecting to the Biophilic theory that we can connect to co-regulate with nature. This project included the full interior package. This is a restorative space that positively impact health and wellbeing using Holistic Interior Design.

A matching cabinet features one side with hidden storage, with the other open to provide seating. The bench is upholstered in soft bouclé, perfect for removing or putting on shoes. The hand-blown wall sconce is suspended by a leather strap above this bench, illuminating the space. The bench toss pillow made from wool fabric features a digital print that looks like marble, adding comfort to the area while echoing material elements throughout the house.

Utility Room with Exposed Beams Ideas and Designs

A well designed utility room can rise to become one of our favourite rooms in the house, boasting the accolade of existing solely to make our lives easier. Few of us are fans of chores such as washing, cleaning and ironing, but with a high-spec, well put together utility design they could be a breeze. For this reason, it makes sense to design an utility room to be as functional as possible, the very model of “everything in its place”, with carefully thought out utility room storage. That, however, doesn’t have to mean it can’t look nice – even super-utilitarian appliances like a washing machine, tumble dryer, laundry basket and recycling bin can be dressed up by their surroundings and made to look great as part of your utility design.

What do I need in my utility room?

Most utility rooms tend to be a small room just off the kitchen or hallway, so you are likely to be working with a compact space. Your main priority will involve planning utility room storage around your white goods. A utility room is usually intended primarily as a laundry room, so it makes sense to first install your plumbed items: the sink, washing machine and, if you have one, tumble dryer. If you run short of space and can’t afford to have a separate washer and dryer, then consider an integrated washer-dryer for your utility design. Built-in storage is a great idea in utility rooms to make best use of the available space, and you might want to also consider built in ironing boards, clothes airers and retractable washing lines. These items tend to be a bit cumbersome and are forever getting in the way, so designing special utility room storage for them or fixing them to a wall so they are easily folded away is an excellent space-saver and well worth the implementation. Free standing items such as laundry baskets and clothes hampers can be tucked neatly under specially designed worktops, and a selection of stacking plastic storage boxes, tins or wicker baskets can be used to help keep the room clutter free.

How do I decorate my utility room?

Decorating an utility room is the ultimate exercise in form meeting functionality. As it’s a room that, alas, invariably people spend a great deal of time in, you will want keep the utility room a calm and clean space. Utility room storage is essential for keeping this area tidy; attractively painted shelves and cupboards can be used to stow away all the bottles and boxes used for laundry and cleaning, as well as appliances such as vacuum cleaners and irons. An attractive country style utility design can be achieved by hanging bright or patterned curtains in front of wall mounted shelves – it will perk up the room and keep clutter hidden away. Floors should be hard-wearing and easy to clean (just think of those dirty boots traipsing in through the back door!) – to this end, stone, tile, laminate or vinyl flooring will be the most low-maintenance and durable. All in all, bear in mind that just because this is primarily a practical space doesn’t mean it needs to be dull – you can inject personality into your utility design in your choices of colour and decorative accessories. Consider quirky signage, blackboards for scribbling down shopping lists, and decorative bottles and boxes for stowing away household bits and bobs.

Do I need a sink in my utility room?

Utility room sinks are designed for those jobs that don’t quite belong in the kitchen – hand washing, dirty boots, watering indoor plants – and typically have a more industrial aesthetic than kitchen sinks. In fact, the iconic butler sink’s originally designated purpose was, as you might imagine, a sink for the butler, who was responsible for washing precious glassware and other items that required special attention and soaking. In case you’ve ever wondered, this is why butler sinks are so deep – for that matter, the only difference between butler sinks and Belfast sinks is the overflow built in to Belfast sinks which don’t feature in butler sinks. If the rustic charm of ceramic sinks appeal to you but your utility room would benefit a less substantial piece, French farmhouse sinks may be the perfect option; cast in French clay to produce a more refined finish, farmhouse sinks can be a thinner, more elegant alternative to their robust counterparts. As well as offering practicality, ceramic sinks make a beautiful statement centrepiece – utility rooms with a country or shabby chic feel will find the perfect complement to rustic wooden units with a butler or farmhouse sink. Smaller sinks are perfectly adequate if your utility room doesn’t demand as much from you, if you do the odd bit of rinsing instead of regularly being elbow-deep in heavy-duty washing. Stainless steel sinks are a practical choice that can withstand the bashing they will get in an utility room set up. Composite sinks are available in granite and quartz variations, both boasting superior durability and damage resistance; to boot, their smooth clean finish lends itself to an ultramodern style utility room. If you’re still unsure on your utility design, take a look through the hundreds of photos for some utility room ideas from professional designers and other homeowners. You might find a design theme or some utility room storage ideas that will inspire you for your utility room makeover.
