How to make the most of your utility room or laundry room.
Comments (2)Can anybody advise/offer comments on the below: We are looking to add a utility room to our ground floor (soon to be extended) off the main hallway. What dimensions are ideal for a utility room with a washer and dryer, sink and some storage cabinets? The utility room would also be the place that I would store all my cleaning items (liquids, mop, bucket etc) and the household hoover too. Any ideas for wall/shelf storage for these items? Thanks....See MoreDelimma - to have a separate utility room or not.
Comments (8)I had a utility for years. The family used it as a dumping ground. I could never find the worktop for junk and bags. It went. We knocked it out which gave me a big square kitchen with room for an island. Never looked back. Plan in some tall larder units. They hold a wealth of sins. Vacuum, buckets, mops, broom ..... they all fit in. I'd add the extra space to the kitchen area and not have one. If you have a tall bank of units you could put your washer over your dryer and have doors in front. They don't necessarily have to be integrated. A good fitter should be able to do this....See MoreUtility room or Not to Utility room?....
Comments (19)In your kitchen plan the space between the wall run and the island is massive - maybe 1.3 or 1.4m? It should be more like 1m otherwise you will find the two surfaces are inconveniently far apart. That also means there is more space for a dining table than it looks like from your plans. Do you have a cellar? If not then the understairs space is available for a WC, you might need to carve a small corner out of the kitchen to add to the understairs space depending on its size. Or if you do have a cellar the wc can go where Jonathan has put it (entrance can be from the understairs area if you have the height, or from the kitchen if not). Is there somewhere upstairs you could put a laundry room/area? In or near a bathroom perhaps?...See Morewhen do you get utility design
Comments (1)HI Charlotte, The short answer is 'as soon as possible'. There's no 'too early' stage to get the designer on board so if you have a floor plan showing where the utility is don't hesitate to send it to potential professionals. This way you'll make sure you build something that's fit for purpose. Hope this helps. Andrei...See MoreUser
