Utility rooms are the dream for organizing your laundry, stashing cleaning products, and keeping all of the messy bits out of your main kitchen. But creating a space that is both efficient and practical, rather than chaotic, can be tricky to get right. The key? Smart storage and a planned layout, say the experts — and this is true whether you have a separate utility space, or one that is linked to your kitchen.
“Utility rooms are a practical place to incorporate all the unglamorous but very necessary parts of life," explains George Glasier, co-founder of Pluck. “They are not spaces to sit and relax in, they are spaces to do in, so that is the primary focus of the design.”
