Classic Bespoke Shaker Utility and Laundry Room - Surrey

As part of a large extension to a 1920’s house in Surrey, we undertook all the joinery requirements for the ground floor refurbishment, designing the kitchen, home bar, boot room and this utility room. We were recommended to the clients by Hampshire-based interior designers, Emily Steen and Danielle Marsh, founders of Wells and Maguire, with whom we have collaborated on numerous previous projects, and who created the overall interior design scheme. This spacious 4530mm x 2400mm utility room leads directly from the open plan kitchen and living space and is accessed via a sliding pocket door with a fluted glass front next to the home bar. It was agreed in advance that the style and colour palette for the utility would reflect and complement the Shaker handmade furniture created for the in frame Classic Bespoke Shaker kitchen, except using oak MFC carcases and 22mm thick lay on doors which were then handpainted in Hage Blue by Farrow & Ball, the same colour used for the kitchen island and home bar. While it needed to look aesthetically pleasing, the functions of this room are manifold being both a laundry room and a utility space. Housed within tall cabinetry is the boiler for the home next to a stacked washing machine and tumble dryer. Due to its proximity to the boiler, it is an airing and ironing room as well, and a hanging rail suspends from overhead cabinets to air clothing. It has a Belfast sink by Shaws, used for cleaning muddy boots and larger domestic items for the home and garden, and it is a herbarium. Potted plants sit alongside cooking and gardening books on open shelving and on the 30mm thick Misty Carrara Satinato quartz worktops, which have matching upstands. In addition, there are cupboards and top boxes for storing household items.

Decorative Style Lay-On Shaker Utility Room

Planet Furniture

This thoughtfully designed walk-in laundry and utility room transforms everyday household chores into moments of calm. By combining the practical functionality of a utility room with high-end finishes, an uplifting design is created to elevate an often-overlooked part of the home. Highlighting the layout of our Lay-On Shaker style cabinetry is the decorative patterned flooring, which brings vibrant colour, warmth, and personality, turning routine tasks into a more enjoyable experience. To set a serene tone, the Card Room Green colour by Farrow & Ball complements the room’s natural oak accents and bright flooring. The design isn’t just about the cabinetry; the floating shelves with integrated strip lighting provide discreet illumination, and the antique brass handles from Corston Milliner bring a touch of traditional elegance. Forming the L-shape layout is the crisp, polished Bianco Mysterio quartz and the Caple Shaker Single Bowl with Caple Novato Spray Tap in stainless steel brings a stylish pairing to enhance the room’s modern utility while keeping a classic edge. Something which is an ultra-special feature is the bespoke wall-mounted drying rack, taking inspiration from our showroom design and crafted in oak and painted in Card Room Green for a cohesive, custom feel. And side-by-side pull-out laundry baskets for easy separation of washing, streamlining the laundry process while keeping the space tidy and uncluttered.

The Dulwich House - Utility Room

FRAHER Architects Ltd

This was a third project where as an Architectural practice, we designed and built in house one of our projects. This project we extended our arm of delivery and made all the bespoke joinery in our workshop - staircases, shelving, doors -you name it - we made it. The house was changed over an air source heat pump fed servicing from a boiler - further improving the environmental performance of the building.
