Novel Ideas For Your Utility Room

The utility room is an oft neglected space in most homes, a grey, dull space for the freezer, washing machine and extra fridge to sit, with a few cupboards for household essentials. But with a little extra thought, the utility room can be a fresh, breezy place to get things done, a haven of organisation that will help you to keep your house running smoothly and with style.

For a truly invigorating look, try a bright, fresh colour like lemon yellow, or if you are feeling especially bold, lime green, combined with white painted wooden furniture for an airy and spacious feel. Pick furniture with deep cupboards and drawers to make sure that you have space for all those vital household supplies, and don't have to resort to stacking piles of cleaning products and laundry on top of the surfaces.

The most important thing to remember when furnishing a utility room is that it deserves just as much attention as the rest of the house – approach its decoration in the same way as you'd approach any other room, and you'll achieve something truly unique and inspiring.
