Versa Style DesignVersa Style Design
The clients wanted to add a powder room to the main floor. We suggested integrating it in a pre-existing laundry room that was disorganized with a lot of wasted space. We designed the new space with chic bifold doors to close of the washer-dryer, optimised the storage to organise it, and added a gorgeous wall-mounted vanity and toilet. The grey subway tile is a classic choice and yet the whole space feels fresh, modern and on trend. This is now a cute multifunctional space. It is welcoming and very organized! Materials used: A modern wall-mounted white matte lacquer vanity, matte solid-surface counter, porcelain vessel sink, round black iron mirror with shelf, solid-core bi-fold doors that hide away the washer-dryer, 12 x 24 Grey porcelain floor tile, 3 x 8 artisanal charcoal grey subway wall tile, white tile grout, black Riobel plumbing and accessories, Industrial-style ceiling light and wall sconce, Sherwin Williams paint

The rustic timber look laminate we selected for the Laundry is the same as used in the adjacent bathroom. We also used the same tiling designs, for a harmonious wet areas look.

Ristrutturazione in un tipico edificio milanese trasformando un angusto appartamento in un confortevole bilocale senza perdere il sapore originale "Vecchia Milano". Il progetto di ristrutturazione è stato fatto per allargare il più possibile gli spazi e far permeare la luce naturale al massimo. Abbiamo unito la cucina con la zona living/sala da pranzo, mentre per la zona notte abbiamo ricreato una cabina armadio. L'ambiente bagno è stato riprogettato con grande attenzione vista la sua forma stretta ed allungata; la scelta delle piastrelle geometriche esalta la forma della nicchia/doccia, mentre la parte tecnica è stata nascosta in un ribassamento del soffitto. Ogni spazio è caratterizzato da una nuance differente dai toni chiari e raffinati, mentre leggeri contrasti completano le scelte stilistiche dell'appartamento, definendo con decisione la personalità dei suoi occupanti.

An oddly shaped storage room was reconfigured to serve as a laundry room with a window facing onto the side of the house. If need be, additional cabinets/shelving units could be installed along the upper section of the wall. Our client didn’t have a need for them at this stage.

A traditional home in the middle of Burbank city was just as you would expect, compartmentalized areas upon compartmentalized rooms. The kitchen was enclosure, the dining room was separated from everything else and then you had a tiny utility room that leads to another small closet. All these walls and doorways were completely removed to expose a beautiful open area. A large all glass French door and 3 enlarged windows in the bay area welcomed in the natural light of this southwest facing kitchen. The old utility room was redon and a whole bathroom was added in the end of it. Classical white shaker with dark quartz top and marble backsplash is the ideal look for this new Transitional space. The island received a beautiful marble slab top creating an eye-popping feature. white oak flooring throughout the house also helped brighten up the space.

Not your usual laundry space! In the middle of the house where you look down into the laundry from the upper bedroom hallway. At least you can throw your dirty laundry straight into the machine from up there! Clean lines, modern look, lots of storage and bench space!

Utility Room with Grey Splashback and Porcelain Flooring 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.
