Yes, small homes *can* have a utility – and Dunelm’s clever new storage solution lets you fake one in any room of your house

Beige Olney Utility Cabinet with the cupboard doors open, showing shelves and drawers inside.

While I’ve always dreamed of a huge house with a separate utility room, the reality is that I - like many others - live in a relatively small house with limited space.

Say hello to the Olney Utility Cabinet, £499 at Dunelm.

The tiny utility trend is still alive and kicking, but unless you have a cupboard or, better yet, an entire room that’s completely empty, most people don’t have the space to store all of their utility essentials. I’m talking about those items you need to clean your home, wash (and dry) your clothes, and maintain the day-to-day running of your house.
