advice needed for utility and cloakroom layout please!
Hello all.
We are doing a wraparound extension and as part of the work we are blocking in the door leading to the garden and turning the reception room next to the kitchen into a utility room and downstairs toilet.
We were going to use under the stairs for the downstairs toilet but the other half has demanded a wine display area
So in there needs to be:
A separate downstairs toilet (ie a room within the room)
Boiler/hot water cylinder
A utility run (washing machine, dishwasher, cupboards for ironing board, hoover, products etc) with worktop but no sink
Storage for coats and (lots of) shoes
Some toy storage for the kids
If anyone has any great ideas where I could start in designing a layout I'd be very grateful

Comments (7)How about splitting the room horizontally in half. Have the utility accessed from the kitchen. Then open up most of the front bit to the hallway, and have a very large cupboard (pink) and then a study area or mini library in the rest of the room....See MoreCloakroom Colour - advice please!
Comments (1)There's no need to have LEDs that take ages to light up these days. If you don't change them you will be forever cursing, as will your guests. With the lighting right then you can paint as dark as you like. Go for it!...See MorePlayroom and cloakroom layout help needed
Comments (4)We currently have an entrance hall which opens into a playroom area and then an old Kitchen. The whole area is about 5m by 4.5m. I've attached the current layout and usage. We would like to have a separate playroom which could potentially be a bedroom and then maybe make a small cloakroom. Ideally wed have a small shower room but we're not sure if there's enough room. Any suggestions of layouts or ideas would be great please....See More

Also, are you taking out the Chimney Stack?.
I'd go for integrated appliances rather than stacking as you have plenty of room, and something a little like this possibly.
Of course it also depends on whether or not you want access from the kitchen because of washing etc, or the Hallway because that's easier for the coats and shoes. Choice is yours.
