What is in your Utility Room?

[Ferdinand]

I think we need this thread.

 

At present in mine (1.8m x 2.6m):

 

2 doors either side (which some fool made offset so it is a zig zag walk)

Single sink

Washer

Boiler

Storage for lots of household and garden bottles and chemicals

Long term food storage

Cleaning things ... brushes, hoover etc.

 

Extras for the future (2m x 5m ish):

 

Tumble dryer. Space in kitchen required for second dishwasher.

Pulley .. maybe.

2nd freezer.

Power tool storage .. maybe.

More worksurface for "not kitchen" jobs - things like operations with opening cans of paint, dealing with produce etc.

Maybe wine fridge.

Provision for lift, which I don't currently have.

Real broom cupboard.

 

And you?

Washing machine

Tumble dryer

Sink and sink units for all cleaning products

Wall cupboards for more stuff (no wall cupboards in kitchen)

Space for ironing board to be left up permanently

Pulley (cloths dryer) in it's own alcove so it is not in the way whether up or down.

Passage and a door at each end, this is the access route to the garage.

Manifold for downstairs UFH

 

And finally WC.  Not everyone likes the downstairs WC in the utility but we could not see a way to get a separate WC without wasting more space downstairs with another corridor.

 

Also a Scottish building reg is you must allocate space for a downstairs shower if you are not providing one.  That space is allocated in the utility room, which if we ever did make a downstairs bathroom the room would be divided in 2 so you pass through the utility room to get to the downstairs bathroom.

1.9m x 4m

 

- two doors (to kitchen and to garage)

- a washing machine

- a butler sink and under-sink unit (with a drinking water tap)

- a drinking water staged filter

- a water softener

- a boiler

- a HWC

- 2x tumbe dryers (stacked)

- UFH manifold

- 6x wall storage units

- an extra base unit (leftover from kitchen as bought an extra one in case the main one did not fit)

- a plastic movable 4-drawer storage unit.

- The cat's sleeping place

 

The utility is the warmest room in the house (+29), so is the officially designated "cat's spa".

Our is 3000 x 2400 With the boiler and tank and washer behind the sliding door Another 1000 ish on the length would have been better
