Utility room ideas don't have to be a bore. It's all about creating a space with functionality, effortless practicality — while also looking so stylish. But how exactly can you make this often overlooked space seamless, practical and effortlessly beautiful?
"When designing a utility room, it’s always good to have a mixture of concealed cabinets and open shelving designed to simplify everyday tasks," says Tom Howley, designer at Tom Howley Bespoke Kitchens. "If the space is more laundry-focused, you can use floating shelving to place detergents out of reach, store spare towels, and keep household essentials streamlined and organized in baskets or jars. While you should let walls share the workload, you should still consider work surface space and low-fitted cabinets to maximize storage capacity."
