Style and function? Count us in…
Boot rooms and powder rooms might be worthy of some spectacular interior design, but why not utility rooms? If you’re looking to give yours an upgrade, the ‘beautility room’ trend could be the key.
The Beautility Room Trend, Explained
You could certainly spend hours labouring over the most Pinterest-worthy kitchen design, but utility rooms seem destined to be an afterthought – until the concept of the beautility room was born. But what does it actually involve?
‘Crafted with the finest materials and meticulous attention to detail, this new approach to designing the once-humble utility room is redefining how we view functional spaces,’ explains Felix Milns, founder of HUX London. ‘No longer just a practical corner for everyday chores, the utility room has evolved into a seamless extension of the home – one that reflects both elegance and efficiency.’
How To Design A Picture-Perfect Utility Room
The hallmarks of the beautility room, says Felix, are ‘bespoke cabinetry, integrated storage, and thoughtfully curated finishes’. ‘Each element is tailor-made to align with the broader aesthetic of the home, transforming a utilitarian space into a serene, stylish sanctuary,’ he adds.
Just as the garden has become seen as the ‘fifth room’, the utility room is now being recognised for its design potential. So whether you opt for bright paint colours and quirky hardware or sleek surfaces and Scandi-style finishes, don’t hold back.
‘Where utility rooms were once hidden away, they are now celebrated as beautifully crafted spaces, designed with the same level of care once reserved for kitchens and living areas,’ says Felix.
Another crucial component? Organisation. ‘Homeowners are embracing this new standard – where elegance meets everyday practicality – and choosing to surround themselves with craftsmanship that not only serves a purpose but inspires a sense of calm, order, and understated luxury,’ Felix states. ‘This movement, which began with the humble kitchen pantry, has sparked a broader transformation of often-overlooked spaces into brilliantly designed hubs that enhance daily life.’ Who knew the utility room had so much to offer?
