Utility Bathroom Ideas

Published on: 21/12/2023 Author: Babbete

Does your utility room double up as a downstairs bathroom? If so, the right washing machine cabinet can go a long way in maximising space, not to mention the overall look of the room.

Utility rooms and bathrooms benefit from having access to water, electricity, drainage and ventilation. This makes these rooms perfect for housing your laundry appliances, especially when both the utility room and bathroom can be combined. 

As well as saving space, a bathroom utility is a great way to combat the problem of having a noisy washing machine in the kitchen. 

If you have an existing bathroom utility space, or if you’re looking to create one in your home, here are some top bathroom utility ideas to inspire you. 

What Are We Having In The Utility Bathroom?

Having a supply of water and electricity along with drainage and ventilation really is a golden opportunity for any home makeover project. Since adding these can be extremely complex (not to mention costly!) homeowners should look to maximise existing utility supplies in every way possible.

In terms of the options this provides, you can install any appliances that you don’t have room for elsewhere in your home. So if you want to make use of the available utility room storage or simply want to hide any appliances out of sight, then the utility bathroom is an ideal choice. 

For instance, a washing machine tap will allow you to install a washing machine in your utility 

bathroom. If there is enough room at the side or above the washing machine, then it may also be possible to install your dryer in the room too.

Tips for Designing a Bathroom Laundry Room

Choose Clever Storage Solutions For Your Utility Bathroom

Small utility bathroom ideas don’t come better than the Original 2.4. Offering plenty of utility room storage while housing your washing machine, this cabinet design allows you to achieve multiple aims. 

Alternatively, if you have high ceilings in your utility room then you might want to opt for a tall storage cabinet instead to maximise storage space. Furthermore, other laundry cabinets offer options for storing your ironing board and other laundry accessories.

Select The Right Colours And Finishes

Whichever laundry cupboard is right for your utility bathroom, it’s good to know that every washing machine cabinet we produce is available in black or white. So whether you want to opt for white and gain a unit colour which goes with everything, or choose a more contemporary black finish, you can fully customise the look of the space. 

Choose The Right Appliances And Fixtures

Beyond a washing machine or tumble dryer cupboard, it’s handy to think about what else your utility bathroom could benefit from. Additional appliances could include an iron, fridge freezer, vacuum cleaner and a rubbish compactor.

Likewise, some accessory ideas include floating shelves, storage cabinets, draw organisers, lighting, a mirror and some greenery. Over time, you might also want to review your utility bathroom so that it offers the maximum amount of functionality, especially as a highly versatile room in your home.
