What’s brilliant about the architectural industry is that you can never predict what style of property will become popular next. Tastes change and there are new ideas all the time. Luckily, we are the most creative provider of residential architecture London has to give. Therefore, we work to meet all of the requirements of our clients. This is regardless of how distinct they are from the rest.

A room for your utilities

The respectful utility room has grown in size slowly during the previous few decades. In the Victorian era, it was a compact wash box. In the 90s, they were box rooms that held the tumble dryer and washing machine. They could also be somewhere to hang the wet washing. This space has transformed to produce what in most homes is a secondary kitchen. It has left the kitchen to become a minimalist space that is less about functionality and more about show.

The trends and desires of clients are now heading towards minimal, sleek kitchens with open plan environments. Here, everything is on show. Consequently, the utility has changed to compensate. Today, the space is home to the primary functional objects that once resided in our kitchens but that people no longer want to have on display.

Location

Before starting on your own utility space however, you will need to think about the location. Decide what is going to suit your requirements carefully. Consider where your water supply and exterior drainage are. Both may end up influencing the room’s location.

Design and practicality

This space could be a utility or a laundry room. It could be that the space must be adjacent to your kitchen. It may need to be on the first floor. Ask yourself whether the utility room must have access to the outside area or to natural daylight. Both can dictate the layout.
