Design Ideas: Utility Rooms

Boot, laundry and flower rooms can be the hardest working in the house, where the backstage elements of everyday life are hidden from sight. However, as Florence Rolfe shows in our gallery below, this is no reason to scrimp on style.

Stop the great outdoors from getting in with our __design ideas for boot rooms, and achieve domestic bliss by keeping even the smallest spaces organised with House & Garden laundry rooms tips.

'For a proper flower room, a stone floor with good drainage for all the spills and no heating is best, along with lots of shelves, deep sinks, a hose pipe, endless jugs, jars and pots, and a hanging rack for drying out the beautiful seed heads,' says Vic Brotherson of Scarlet & Violet.
