Designing a utility room when you are working on an extension or kitchen renovation makes sense. In the modern home, they are quickly turning into a must have. In addition to making life easier, they add value to a property. Utility rooms are able to pay their costs back relatively swiftly in terms of usefulness and practicality. Therefore, it is a good idea to create one. We have some advice to share on the subject you are more than welcome to use.

What do you need?

When designing and planning your utility space, the first thought you have should be what you need from it. For starters, you will have to ensure you can get cold and hot water supplies for the washing machine and sink. Something else to keep in mind is that you will require a vent if you have a vented tumble dryer. If you lack windows to the exterior, make plans to put in an extractor to minimise moisture when you dry your clothes.

Where will the room go?

Next, you need to think about where you are going to put your utility room. The final location shall depend on your requirements. What you don’t want is to spoil a garden view. It could be nice to have an entrance to the garden in the room though. This will mean you need to put it on an external wall. It also makes sense to have the room as close to the kitchen as possible. That will make it easier to connect the utilities and can reduce the costs.
