Utility room ideas

Especially in winter it can feel like every room with a radiator is a slave to the laundry cycle. With some simple storage solutions, you can create an efficient, even enviable, laundry station, that'll keep your space looking great.

While it's totally worth it, splitting out your waste into different recycling types soon takes up space. But while it's tricky to make bins especially stylish, you can make your waste disposal beautifully efficient with some space-saving compact designs.

Families (or one shoe lover) can accumulate piles and piles of pairs, which often end up collecting at doorways. Keep your footwear organised with a shoe rack or a cabinet to neaten up your entrances. Try stackable options for more storage space.

It works really well in practical spaces to see where everything is without having to open and close doors. You can always add storage boxes to keep smaller items together. Go for floating or wall-mounted shelves to save space.

Keep washing powder, pegs or pocket-clutter (loose change, hair grips and LEGO bricks are the usual culprits) in storage baskets. Try cube storage to keep surfaces tidy and get a more polished look.

Bag yourself a clever clutter-buster with our storage bags designed to tuck away your laundry. Stow away your bulky bedding, winter woollies or whatever's taking up precious space. Use vacuum storage bags to safely store thicker duvets or sweaters for a long time.
