What type of utility door?

9 years ago

We're in the middle of refurbishing our kitchen, and we have built a utility as there was an outside door in the kitchen, however we did this on the basis of putting some form of interior door on the utility that has some frosted glass or similar to let the light through.

Our house is a modern-ish british house, so the doors are the typical white wooden ones which the 3 section moulds. The kitchen itself is a modern design, handleless.

I've attached a picture of where the door will be, and also what the kitchen will look like. Has anyone got any suggestions on what type of utility door we could go for that wouldn't look out of place with the other doors, however also fits in well with the kitchen?

A simple door will be just fine ;) I don't really know what style to go for, as it needs to let light through in the day, without looking old fashioned

What would go in your perfect utility room?

A clothes drying rail on the ceiling (pulley maid), a drying rack that pulls out from the wall above a radiator, an ironing board (ideally that pulls out from a cupboard) and a railed area above a worktop for hanging ironed shirts. I would also stack the washing machine & dryer if you have both of those. Also behind closed doors. A few cupboards/pantry for kitchen items that are not used all the time, or key items you don't want to run out of. I keep a small stock of things like coffee, baked beans, tinned tuna, mayo etc in a base unit in my utility, alongside our spirits. Storage space for things like medicine, hot water bottles, lunch boxes, tissues, hoover etc. A functional, seamless space that is about the size of a small-medium kitchen. Not fussed about a door to the outside personally, although I know that is very normal.

Yes it’s an external porch. I’ve attached a few photos in its current state, including the existing door which I am wondering what to replace with. Porch is going to have a pitched roof, with a canopy sticking out to the side by a metre. Thinking of going for something like the composite door in the photo for the porch door, though no idea on colour. Windows and plastics are anthracite grey.

My living room door opens into the room not the hall (second pic). So you could have the door opening inwards against the longer wall in your living room? Or how about a barn door, first pic?

Hi. Do you need to access it from the outside? We have done many tilt and turn windows in this type of situation. So you can put it into tilt function for the ventilation needs, but you can open it up fully for access etc. You just can't open from the outside.
