Utility room ideas
Create a functional yet fabulous hideout for your laundry and more.
Create a functional yet fabulous hideout for your laundry and more.
Here's how to carve out a useful space for washing, ironing and muddy-boot-dumping, in even the smallest of corners.
Especially in winter it can feel like every room with a radiator is a slave to the laundry cycle. With some simple storage you can create an efficient, even enviable, laundry station, ready to tackle any crumple, stain and tissue explosion life throws at you.
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 nifty and compact designs.
Families (or one shoe lover) can accumulate piles and piles of pairs, which often end up collecting at doorways. Keeping your footwear organised (and easily findable) will neaten up your entrances and speed up exits out the door.
It works really well in practical spaces as you can see where everything is without having to open and close doors - you can always add storage baskets to keep smaller items together.
Keep washing powder, pegs or pocket-clutter (loose change, hair grips and LEGO bricks are the usual culprits) in storage jars or baskets. They'll keep surfaces tidy for 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.
There’s never enough storage. Get creative with these storage solutions for every room.
