24" washer and dryer were added to this tiny condo in the kitchen - the perfect location for plumbing access and keeps all the "working spaces" together. The large single sink allows for ample spacious counter tops. The peek-a-boo nook into the living room allows the galley kitchen not to feel so closed off. Rebecca Tabbert of Acco Kitchen and Bath

An existing laundry area and an existing office, which had become a “catch all” space, were combined with the goal of creating a beautiful, functional, larger mudroom / laundry room! Several concepts were considered, but this design best met the client’s needs. Finishes and textures complete the design providing the room with warmth and character. The dark grey adds contrast to the natural wood-tile plank floor and coordinate with the wood shelves and bench. A beautiful semi-flush decorative ceiling light fixture with a gold finish was added to coordinate with the cabinet hardware and faucet. A simple square undulated backsplash tile and white countertop lighten the space. All were brought together with a unifying wallcovering. The result is a bright, updated, beautiful and spacious room that is inviting and extremely functional.

Right off the kitchen, we transformed this laundry room by flowing the kitchen floor tile into the space, adding a large farmhouse sink (dual purpose small dog washing station), a countertop above the machine units, cabinets above, and full height backsplash.

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.

Now this. THIS is a place I would do laundry. And perhaps have a cocktail? (It has become a home bar for entertaining in the adjoining basement den!)

A small beachside home was reconfigured to allow for a larger kitchen opening to the back yard with compact adjacent laundry. The feature tiled wall makes quite a statement with striking dark turquoise hand-made tiles. The wall conceals the small walk-in pantry we managed to fit in behind. Used for food storage and making messy afternoon snacks without cluttering the open plan kitchen/dining living room. Lots of drawers and benchspace in the actual kitchen make this kitchen a dream to work in. And enhances the whole living dining space. The laundry continues with the same materials as the kitchen so make a small but functional space connect with the kitchen.

The client wanted a space that was inviting and functional as the existing laundry was cramped and did not work. The existing external door was changed to a window allowing space for under bench pull out laundry baskets, condensor drier and washing machine and a large ceramic laundry sink. Cabinetry on the left wall included a tall cupboard for the ironing board, broom and mop, open shelving for easy access to baskets and pool towels, lower cupboards for storage of cleaning products, extra towels and pet food, with high above cabinetry at the same height as those above the work bench. The cabinetry had a 2pak finish in the vivid green with a combination of finger pull and push open for doors and laundry basket drawer. The Amazonia Italian splashback tile was selected to complement the cabinetry, external garden and was used on the wood fired pizza oven, giving the wow factor the client was after.

Utility Room with Porcelain Splashback and White Worktops 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.
