Absolutely. For many of our clients, the kitchen is only one part of the project. We can design your utility, laundry or bootility room alongside your kitchen, creating hardworking spaces that are tailored around the practical needs of your home.

Planning these rooms together also allows your designer to make much more considered decisions about what belongs in the kitchen — and what doesn't. Laundry, cleaning equipment, household supplies, coats, shoes and everyday clutter can all be given a dedicated home elsewhere, freeing valuable kitchen storage and helping the main living space remain calmer and more organised.

Design the Room Around Its Purpose

A dedicated laundry room can be designed around the entire laundry process, rather than simply finding somewhere to position a washing machine and dryer.

Appliances can be integrated at a practical height, with laundry baskets, tall storage, shelving, hanging space and worktop for sorting and folding all considered within the cabinetry.

A utility room may need to work harder still, accommodating everything from laundry and cleaning products to vacuum cleaners, ironing boards, mops, brushes and larger household items that can be difficult to store effectively elsewhere.

From Utility to Bootility

Where the room is also an everyday entrance to the home, combining a boot room and utility can create an exceptionally practical bootility.

Rather than coats, shoes, schoolbags and sports equipment making their way into the kitchen, cabinetry can be designed specifically around them. Full-height cupboards, individual storage, bench seating, drawers, hooks and open sections can create an organised drop zone for everything that comes through the door.

For homes with pets, the room can work even harder. Storage can be incorporated for food, leads, towels and accessories, with dedicated areas considered for feeding, washing or simply dealing with muddy paws before they reach the rest of the house.

A Room Worth Designing Beautifully

Practical doesn't have to mean purely functional.

Your utility or bootility can continue the cabinetry style, colour palette and materials of your kitchen, creating a seamless transition between adjoining rooms. Or it can become an opportunity to introduce a contrasting colour or finish and give the room an identity of its own.

Natural wood, stone worktops, open shelving, feature handles and considered lighting can all be introduced, bringing the same level of design thinking to a room that may be used several times every day.

The best utility and bootility rooms aren't simply places to hide the things you don't want in your kitchen. They are designed to take pressure off the kitchen, organise everyday life and make the whole home work better.

The simple answer is your ideas. You don't need to have every detail decided before your first consultation. Our role is to listen, understand how you live and help shape your ideas into a kitchen that's tailored to your home, your lifestyle and the way you use the space.

If you have architectural plans, we encourage you to bring them along, particularly for new builds and extensions. They provide your designer with an invaluable starting point for understanding your space and developing a layout that works seamlessly within your home. If you're renovating an existing kitchen, room dimensions and photographs of the space are equally valuable, helping your designer understand both the opportunities and any constraints from the outset.

Many customers also arrive with inspiration they've collected over time, whether that's screenshots, Pinterest boards, magazine cuttings or photographs of kitchens they love. These references help your designer understand not only the styles and colours you prefer, but also the details that matter most to you, creating a stronger foundation for the design process.

Just as importantly, we'll spend time talking about how you live. Whether you love entertaining, need space for a busy family, work from home or simply want a kitchen that feels calm and organised, understanding your lifestyle is fundamental to creating a design that works beautifully every day.

If you don't yet have plans or room dimensions, don't let that delay your consultation. Your designer will advise you on exactly what's needed as your project progresses and guide you through each stage of the journey with clarity and confidence.
