Continuation of the kitchen style, the utility has a double Belfast sink and plenty of storage to make it efficient and very useful.

Traditional Lay-On Shaker Panelled Doors - Kensington

Handmade Kitchen Co

Mirroring the delicate detailing found in the heart of the home, this utility features the same traditional lay-on panelled doors with bold mouldings, and the soft, warm tone of Dulux Candle Cream. Finishing touches such as the Hendel & Hendel Barrington dull nickel cup pulls with backplates and matching knobs bring consistency and charm to this hardworking space. To keep the function, the layout is a compact yet highly efficient galley-style design, optimised with a stacked configuration for the washing machine and dryer. It’s built and designed to maximise space without compromising on ease of use. A Shaws of Darwen Belfast sink sits proudly styled with a Milano Elizabeth cranked bridge mixer tap in chrome and white, echoing the kitchen setup, and the storage is highly effective with homes for cleaning products and the ironing board.

A Victorian Laundry and mudroom with tiles and flooring inspired by the client's international travels. The floor tiles are reminiscent of the Doge's Palace flooring and the splashback tiles have names of their favourite cities. Soft colours and a bright storage unit create a unique style. A custom heating/ventilation system and vicotrian inspired drying racks ensure that washing will dry indoors during winter. Photo by Paul McCredie

139 Victorian Service Yard Design Photos

The service yard – also know as a service balcony, laundry or utility room – is often an afterthought in home designs, despite how many needs it can serve. Complete with a washing machine, dryer, ironing board and appropriate racks and shelving, your Victorian service yard can simplify your household chores, store dirty washing, drying clothes and cleaning products, and be a spot to do your ironing and folding. In HDB flats, this is where the rubbish chute is as well. If your service yard or laundry is not working to its full potential, a renovation could be a wise investment. Before you undergo any changes, browse the photos on Houzz for efficient service yard ideas, from layouts and storage to appliances.

How do I add storage to my Victorian service yard?

A combination of storage solutions is key to running an efficient Victorian laundry. Include shelving and racks above or beside the washing machine to store washing detergent, softener and other cleaning products; and a laundry basket for dirty clothes. Consider a custom-built cupboard for an ironing board, so it can easily fold out when you need it, or mount the ironing board directly to the wall or on the back of a door. A retractable clothesline is a handy addition to dry delicate clothes, while a clothes hanger mounted to the wall is ideal for hanging freshly pressed shirts.

What else can I use my Victorian laundry for?

Multipurpose laundry rooms or utility rooms can help save valuable space in your home. Some would locate the water heater tank here. The laundry sink can be used to bathe your dog or cat; your laundry cabinet can store sports equipment, pails and umbrellas; and a spare nook can be filled with a desk and chair to create an office space while you wait for your load to finish. If your service yard is at the front of the house, consider using it as a drop station for mail, mobile phones and keys. Include a bench seat or stool, wall-mounted hooks for bags and a coat stand and it can even be used as a place to get the kids organised before you walk out the front door.
