This 1980s home was completely gutted and redone both inside and out. Including windows, roofing, Stucco and some exterior wall restructuring. All new interior layout and finishes throughout, including a new open concept kitchen living area with massive walk in butler’s pantry that is 16’ tall inside with shelving to the ceiling. The clients’ eclectic taste drove the design, and led to custom tile inlays, wainscoting and moulding, 13 different wallpapers and unique appliances. The most fun feature of this renovation was the son’s bedroom, which was quite small, but we were able to take advantage of a vaulted ceiling to create a custom-built loft bed with a ladder, lighting and charging station, and lots of shelving.

GH Wood DesignGH Wood Design
GH Wood Design created a Laundry and Craft room for the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts 2013 that was both functional and pleasing to the eye. The laundry room is a place where a lot of time is spent so we wanted to create a space that was practical but still pretty. All the elements that are needed for a laundry room were provided, but in such a way that they could be hidden away while not in use. Such as: a pull out ironing board that is hidden in a drawer in between the dryers; and a pull down drying rack above the washing machine that is contained in a cabinet with doors that close when not in use. On the craft room side we created a custom inspiration board, as well as a custom chalk board that covers the utility box. Also on the craft room side is a drawer that houses wrapping paper on rods for easy and orderly access. The room is topped off with faux wood tile floors that give the feel and beauty of the natural material, but the practicality of tile in a room that is susceptible to leaks and spills.

The laundry room received a full remodel from new linoleum flooring, new ceiling lights and a pocket door. The laundry room was repurposed with the removal of an old utility sink and a new design that incorporated a full size, stack washer and dryer, as well as a 2nd party refrigerator. New upper and lower cabinets and quartz countertops add utility to the room. The countertops are also lined with a backsplash of the green glass tile. Mary Broerman, CCIDC

Eclectic Utility Room with Shaker Cabinets Ideas and Designs

A well designed eclectic utility room can rise to become one of our favourite rooms in the house, boasting the accolade of existing solely to make our lives easier. Few of us are fans of chores such as washing, cleaning and ironing, but with a high-spec, well put together utility design they could be a breeze. For this reason, it makes sense to design an utility room to be as functional as possible, the very model of “everything in its place”, with carefully thought out utility room storage. That, however, doesn’t have to mean it can’t look nice – even super-utilitarian appliances like a washing machine, tumble dryer, laundry basket and recycling bin can be dressed up by their surroundings and made to look great as part of your eclectic utility design.

What do I need in my eclectic utility room?

Most utility rooms tend to be a small room just off the kitchen or hallway, so you are likely to be working with a compact space. Your main priority will involve planning utility room storage around your white goods. A utility room is usually intended primarily as a laundry room, so it makes sense to first install your plumbed items: the sink, washing machine and, if you have one, tumble dryer. If you run short of space and can’t afford to have a separate washer and dryer, then consider an integrated washer-dryer for your utility design. Built-in storage is a great idea in utility rooms to make best use of the available space, and you might want to also consider built in ironing boards, clothes airers and retractable washing lines. These items tend to be a bit cumbersome and are forever getting in the way, so designing special utility room storage for them or fixing them to a wall so they are easily folded away is an excellent space-saver and well worth the implementation. Free standing items such as laundry baskets and clothes hampers can be tucked neatly under specially designed worktops, and a selection of stacking plastic storage boxes, tins or wicker baskets can be used to help keep the room clutter free.

How do I decorate my eclectic utility room?

Decorating an utility room is the ultimate exercise in form meeting functionality. As it’s a room that, alas, invariably people spend a great deal of time in, you will want keep the utility room a calm and clean space. Utility room storage is essential for keeping this area tidy; attractively painted shelves and cupboards can be used to stow away all the bottles and boxes used for laundry and cleaning, as well as appliances such as vacuum cleaners and irons. An attractive country style utility design can be achieved by hanging bright or patterned curtains in front of wall mounted shelves – it will perk up the room and keep clutter hidden away. Floors should be hard-wearing and easy to clean (just think of those dirty boots traipsing in through the back door!) – to this end, stone, tile, laminate or vinyl flooring will be the most low-maintenance and durable. All in all, bear in mind that just because this is primarily a practical space doesn’t mean it needs to be dull – you can inject personality into your utility design in your choices of colour and decorative accessories. Consider quirky signage, blackboards for scribbling down shopping lists, and decorative bottles and boxes for stowing away household bits and bobs.

Do I need a sink in my utility room?

Utility room sinks are designed for those jobs that don’t quite belong in the kitchen – hand washing, dirty boots, watering indoor plants – and typically have a more industrial aesthetic than kitchen sinks. In fact, the iconic butler sink’s originally designated purpose was, as you might imagine, a sink for the butler, who was responsible for washing precious glassware and other items that required special attention and soaking. In case you’ve ever wondered, this is why butler sinks are so deep – for that matter, the only difference between butler sinks and Belfast sinks is the overflow built in to Belfast sinks which don’t feature in butler sinks. If the rustic charm of ceramic sinks appeal to you but your utility room would benefit a less substantial piece, French farmhouse sinks may be the perfect option; cast in French clay to produce a more refined finish, farmhouse sinks can be a thinner, more elegant alternative to their robust counterparts. As well as offering practicality, ceramic sinks make a beautiful statement centrepiece – utility rooms with a country or shabby chic feel will find the perfect complement to rustic wooden units with a butler or farmhouse sink. Smaller sinks are perfectly adequate if your utility room doesn’t demand as much from you, if you do the odd bit of rinsing instead of regularly being elbow-deep in heavy-duty washing. Stainless steel sinks are a practical choice that can withstand the bashing they will get in an utility room set up. Composite sinks are available in granite and quartz variations, both boasting superior durability and damage resistance; to boot, their smooth clean finish lends itself to an ultramodern style utility room. If you’re still unsure on your utility design, take a look through the hundreds of photos for some eclectic utility room ideas from professional designers and other homeowners. You might find a design theme or some utility room storage ideas that will inspire you for your utility room makeover.
