Bespoke Utility Rooms

The Hardest Working Room

Laundry and cleaning are a fact of life, but the environment you do them in makes all the difference. We believe the utility room should be given just as much design attention as the kitchen. We transform these functional spaces into efficient, organised rooms that make household chores easier and more enjoyable.

EFFICIENT. SEAMLESS. DURABLE.

Elevated Ergonomics

Bending down to load washing machines and dryers is a thing of the past. A popular feature in our bespoke utility rooms is raised appliance housing. We build reinforced cabinets that lift your machines to waist height, making loading and unloading effortless.

This design also creates valuable storage space underneath for laundry baskets. We combine this with tall broom cupboards to house ironing boards, mops, and vacuum cleaners, ensuring that nothing is left out on display.

The Hidden Utility

For the ultimate in seamless design, we can create a “Hidden Utility.” In many open-plan homes, a standard internal door can ruin the flow of a run of kitchen units.

We can design a walkthrough entrance disguised as a tall kitchen cabinet. From the outside, it looks exactly like a standard larder or fridge housing, perfectly matching your kitchen. But when opened, it reveals a walkway into your separate utility room. It is the perfect magic trick: keeping the beautiful lines of your kitchen intact while completely hiding the noise and mess of the laundry room.
