UTILITY ROOM IDEAS
When designing a home, utility rooms are often an afterthought—a space to stash cleaning supplies and extra storage. But a well-designed utility room can be much more than that! At Ridgeway Interiors, we specialise in creating beautiful, practical utility rooms that seamlessly connect with your kitchen, adding both function and style.
A utility room can be transformed into an organised and efficient space with a few thoughtful design choices.
Here are some ways we’ve helped our clients make the most of their utility rooms:
House Appliances
Move the washing machine, tumble dryer, and even the dishwasher to the utility room to keep your kitchen peaceful. This will minimise noise while keeping essential appliances out of sight.
Store worktop appliances like blenders, coffee machines, and microwaves in your utility room. This keeps your kitchen looking sleek and clutter-free while maintaining easy access to your favourite gadgets.
A Laundry & Drying Hub
Why not create a dedicated space for washing, drying, and ironing? Wall-mounted drying racks, built-in laundry baskets, and heated towel rails can turn your utility room into an efficient laundry zone, keeping everything neatly organised.
A Mudroom for Outdoor Essentials
If your utility room backs onto the garden, it’s the perfect place for a practical mudroom. Add hooks for coats and dog leads, a shoe rack, and even a small floor-level shower for washing muddy boots—or the dog!
Extra Storage for Kitchen Overflow
Use your utility room to store items that don’t need to be in the main kitchen, such as an extra fridge or freezer, wine racks, and less frequently used appliances. This keeps your kitchen looking streamlined while ensuring everything has its place. It can even be the perfect space to store drinks and extra supplies for parties to keep your kitchen tidier and easier for guests to navigate.
Utility rooms are more than just extra cupboard space. With smart design, they can become an essential part of your home, adding both function and value. Whether you need a quiet laundry area, additional storage, or a practical mudroom, we can help create a utility space that works perfectly for your lifestyle.
