Utility rooms do you have one/would you like one?

you have to walk through our to get to the toilet as well so it has to be kept relatively tidy but isn't

I have one and it's brilliant. We've moved a lot and this is the first house with a utility room that we have had. It's a fair size. It has the washing machine, a big fridge, the boiler and a small sink in there, plus a small counter and shelves for storage. I even do the ironing in there. I have to keep it tidy as you have to walk through it to get to the downstairs loo. Wouldn't be without it although I might have to be if we downsize.

Yes I’ve got one, and other than the usual washing machine, freezer etc. and my gardening gear, the most important function is to house my dog’s crate. He loves it so much I’ve never managed to wean him off it - it’s his cave at night, it’s got a cover on and his bed in. It takes up quite a lot of room but he’s worth it.

I had my utility room gutted and revamped at the same time as my kitchen.

I have washing machine, tumble drier, sink, two floor to ceiling larder cupboards, two under worktop cupboards.

I keep the microwave in it (seldom used) and have enough space for two rails high up for drying. Along with second coat rack.

It is off of the hall and if it happens to be messy I close the door.

That should be washing machine! I only have one!

We have a small utility room which has a sink with cupboards under for cleaning stuff, a floor to ceiling larder unit for tins and dry goods, and the washing machines. When we had the kitchen remodelled we took two of the old wall cabinets and put them on the wall in the utility room as they match the units that were already in there. I wish it was a tidy utility room. It is not and defeats all my attempts to tame it!

I do have a utility room, it's not small but I would like it to be bigger. It houses the washing machine, tumble dryer, full size freezer and full size fridge freezer. It also has 4 base units and 4 wall units. It also stores mop and bucket and loads of spare supplies such as bleach, dishwasher tablets, washing liquid etc etc. I never seem to have enough room so the Garage is used as back up.

My utility room is small but large enough for the washing machine, tumble drier, coats and boots. There is also a large floor to ceiling cupboard which is invaluable for storing things like light bulbs, cleaning stuff, dog food and baking equipment that only gets used once in a while. You have to walk through it to get to the bathroom but with a glass door leading to a small garden room and then out to the garden, it's more like a corridor so I have to keep it tidy!

I love it.

We have a utility room. It used to have a sink but that was taken out when we had the utility and kitchen refurbished a few years ago. The utility room has the washing machine, tumble dryer, boiler room/cupboard and lots of cupboards. The small number three freezer is in there. On the worktop over the washing machine and tumble dryer, is a large cat bed for our two cats. I dry non-tumble dryer washing out there too.

Yes, I have a small utility room -I have my washing machine there . Utility rooms are handy, but not necessary if you have a big kitchen. My kitchen is not small, but definitely not large.

My kitchen is very small

I'd love one.
It would be a major consideration of I ever I could have had the option.

Yes I have one just big enough for my washing machine and tumble dryer. I have two sets of shelves in there for various things and the dog basket in there as well. Wouldn’t be without it..?

We don't have one, and I regret it.

When we bought this house we remodelled downstairs, and knocked through what had been a breakfast room, kitchen and scullery into one large room. The children were young, and I liked the idea of being able to do the washing and keep an eye on them at the same time, so had the kitchen plumbed for utilities instead of using the boot room at the back that could have been used as a utility. All the floors are concrete, so changing the layout or services would be an expense and a logistical nightmare, so we will have to live with it as it is, but I would much rather not have the washing in the kitchen if I had a choice.

Yes, I have a utility room on a lower floor and I often forget I’ve put washing on.

No I dont. Yes I want one. Have always wanted one and have never lived in a house that had one
