Utility rooms are a vital part of many people’s homes, as they offer an all-in-one space where you can conceal unsightly appliances like washing machines and dryers, in addition to providing extra storage space. However, there is no reason why your utility room can’t look as elegant as the rest of your home.
You may find yourself spending lots of time in your utility room, whether for completing laundry or accessing cleaning supplies, so why not transform it with a much-needed spruce? Here at Rockform, we’ve got all that you need for a utility room makeover, from durable tile and wood flooring to statement wallpaper.
Utility Room Flooring
Utility rooms are the most practical space in the home. They serve as the hub for cleaning, washing, and storage. This means that durability should be the primary consideration when redesigning your utility space. Wood flooring works as a fantastic flooring option within utility rooms, and it helps to bring in a warm, timeless aesthetic. This flooring type is easy to clean and perfect for the event of any machine malfunctions or if you would like to use your utility room to store muddy shoes and pet equipment.
We are stockists of two exceptional wood flooring brands, Ted Todd and Woodpecker, which both offer sophisticated and resistant options. Our Woodpecker flooring, for instance, comes with a moisture-resistant laminate, making it perfectly tailored for the kinds of spills and accidents that may occur in a utility room. Moreover, wood flooring offers several different appearance types, from traditional horizontal placement to an inspiring chevron pattern, allowing you to customise your utility room flooring to match the rest of your home. Hardwood floors truly stand the test of time and will continue to look stylish in your house for years to come.
Paint and Wallpaper for Utility Room
If you’re looking to upgrade your utility room without the entire process of replacing flooring, then adding a fresh layer of paint can help bring the space together and make it look as good as new. If you have a colour scheme running through your kitchen, then why not introduce this to the utility room? This can create the illusion that your utility room is an extension of your kitchen, helping to make this area of your home look cohesive. Many people also opt for a monochromatic look within their utility room to evoke a sense of serenity within this area that otherwise might appear cluttered.
These rooms are often tucked away from natural light, which can make them feel dark and uninviting. A light, neutral coat of paint can help to brighten the space, giving it a fresh and welcoming feel. On the other hand, if you prefer darker shades like navy or emerald, green, they can add a sense of luxury, turning the room from a purely functional area to a stylish feature of your home. We supply a variety of Farrow & Ball paint in a multitude of colours, allowing you to find shades that match your home’s aesthetic. These paints use high-quality ingredients and artisan methods to provide a look of rich complexity that brings vibrancy and life to even the darkest corners of your home.
Utility Room Tiles Ideas
As we’ve mentioned, utility rooms can be prone to mess, making your choice of flooring even more important. If you aren’t a fan of wood flooring, then tiles are another great solution for easy cleaning and durability. Utility rooms experience high amounts of moisture and condensation, so you need a flooring type that can withstand this over time. That’s why tiles are often chosen for bathrooms and wet rooms.
Tiles can also work as an excellent wall backsplash if you want to add a pop of colour or interest to your utility room. They are also easy to clean in case of spillages or accidents, as they can be easily wiped with a damp cloth. These types of tiles can also protect against damp and mould, which is crucial for ensuring the longevity of your utility room. We have a range of tiles available from leading brands, such as Villeroy and Boch, in a selection of impressive colours and styles. Adding texture to your utility room, either through floor or wall tiles, can be a functional and stylish way to refresh the space.
