I'm a professional interior stylist and these are the things I always include in a modern country-style utility room

Utility room with Butler's sink, neutral cabinets and cleaning items hung on wall.

Dubbed the engine room of the home, utilities have come a long way from the boring storage rooms of old. These days they may be just as functional, but they’re also an extension of the rest of your home, with stylish décor and clever design details that make it a room to show off rather than hide away, whatever its shape or size.

Factor in a modern country aesthetic, which takes its inspiration from rural life, and you’ll have a utility room full of relaxed yet elegant charm that makes laundry day a pleasure and that you’ll enjoy spending time in. I style homes for magazine and campaign shoots for a living so I've seen my fair share of gorgeous utility room ideas.
