A well-designed utility room should combine practicality with durability. Since the utility room is often used for messier tasks from cleaning freshly picked vegetables, soaking laundry or swilling off a muddy paws, a hard wearing worktop is essential.
To give continuity through to the utility room, picking out an element from the kitchen, like matching worktops, for example, can help to integrate the two spaces. Quartz is an excellent choice here thanks to its easy-to-clean surface, high resistance to scratches and stains and low porosity, which helps prevent swelling and bacterial growth.

Another valuable feature is a deep sink, ideally paired with a stone splashback, providing both functionality and durability for heavy-duty cleaning tasks.

A common mistake is opting for a cheaper material for the utility room; it isn’t on show like the one in the main kitchen but, in reality, it needs to more durable and hardwearing.
Importantly, a utility room does not need to be boring or drab as shown in this utility room (pictured) designed by Qudaus Living that uses the vibrant KönigNaturals Vivid Green worktop for a durable, striking worktop. If you’re spending time in a room doing mundane chores, why not make it look stylish and lift your mood!
