The drop zone for this home is the mudroom, which features lockers for backpacks and sporting equipment, as well as shoe cubbies, all concealed behind beautiful custom cabinetry from Riverside Custom Cabinetry. The metal grates on the shoe storage cabinet doors give footwear breathing room while providing a unique touch to the shaker panel door. The custom desk holds school supplies and acts as a charging station for electronics. The designer chose a beautiful stone tile in a mix of sizes and large pendants to give this mudroom a touch of class. Designer: Meg Kohnen Photography by: William Manning

Knowing the important role that dogs take in our client's life, we built their space for the care and keeping of their clothes AND their dogs. The dual purpose of this space blends seamlessly from washing the clothes to washing the dog. Custom cabinets were built to comfortably house the dog crate and the industrial sized wash and dryer. A low tub was tiled and counters wrapped in stainless steel for easy maintenance.

This laundry room gets plenty of notice! The custom lacquer cabinetry is available through JAMIESHOP.COM. Putting mirror as a back splash is a great trick!

for this lovely home we designed a more traditional aesthetic. The clients wanted a full house remodel as you see here. Notably, the laundry room required some special attention; the room need to wear several hats. It was laundry room, mudroom, potting shed, broom closet, and common entrance for neighbors and family - all in one! Undercounter ASKO washer and dryer gave them considerably more counter space for the various tasks in this space. Photos by Brian Droege.

Visbeen Architects’ remodel of this lakefront home makes it easy to forget its recent past as an outdated structure in need of a major update. What was once a low-profile 1980’s ranch has been transformed into a three-story cottage with more than enough character to go around. Street-facing dormers and a quaint garage entrance welcome visitors into the updated interior, which features beautiful custom woodwork and built-ins throughout. In addition to drastic improvements in every existing room, a brand new master suite was added to the space above the garage, providing a private and luxurious retreat for homeowners. A home office, full bath, laundry facilities, a walk-in closet, and a spacious bedroom and sitting area complete this upstairs haven.

Utility Room with Stainless Steel Worktops and Zinc 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.
