A Utility Room Designed for Elegance and Everyday Ease

At Bespoke Kitchens and Interiors, we understand that utility rooms are more than just practical spaces – they’re an extension of your home’s character and quality. Our latest project showcases a stunning blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern convenience, creating a refined utility and boot room that delivers on both style and function.

Classic Shaker Style with a Tailored Touch

The foundation of this room lies in timeless British design. We chose classic Shaker-style cabinetry, known for its elegant panel detailing and long-standing heritage. Painted in Indigo, the cabinetry brings warmth and harmony to the space while maintaining a clean, structured look.

Hendel & Hendel Brushed Satin Brass Handles

To elevate the traditional aesthetic, we fitted the doors and drawers with Hendel & Hendel brushed satin brass handles. These premium fittings bring a tactile, luxurious finish and complement the rich brass tones carried throughout the design, from the tapware to the sink.

Thoughtful Layout and Intelligent Storage Solutions

This space was designed with everyday living in mind — prioritising accessibility, organisation, and visual clarity.

Elevated Bosch Laundry Appliances

By installing Bosch washing and drying appliances at a raised height, we’ve made the daily laundry routine more comfortable, reducing the need to bend or kneel. This ergonomic choice blends perfectly with the cabinetry and sits above two deep pull-out laundry drawers, ideal for separating colours or storing baskets neatly out of sight.

Dedicated Utility Storage

We’ve included a tall, concealed cabinet section designed specifically to house the ironing board and vacuum cleaner, ensuring everything has its place while keeping the space tidy and efficient.

Corian® Worksurface: Seamless Craftsmanship and Bespoke Detailing

One of the standout features of this room is the Corian® bespoke solid surface worktop, fabricated and installed entirely in-house by our expert team in East Kilbride.

Seamless Joins and Integrated Detailing

The Corian® surface is crafted with invisible, seamless joins, ensuring a perfectly smooth run across the worktop and upstands. Its non-porous, hygienic properties make it perfect for high-use areas like utility rooms.

What sets this project apart is the precision with which we moulded the Corian® around the 1810 Gold Brass Axix sink, creating a flawless integration between surface and basin. The result is a truly custom look that’s easy to maintain and a joy to use.

Brushed Brass Tapware: Design Continuity

Above the sink, a twin-lever brushed brass tap mirrors the tones of the brass handles and the Axix sink. This continuity in material choices helps tie the room together visually, creating a calm, unified palette. The tap was installed with care to maintain the clean geometry and unbroken lines of the surface below.

Porcelanosa Xtone: A Splashback That Transforms the Room

To complement the minimal, seamless quality of the Corian®, we introduced Porcelanosa Xtone in Calacatta Viola — a statement porcelain surface that exudes luxury and visual interest.

A Rich Marble Effect with Dramatic Veining

Calacatta Viola brings bold movement and colour through its deep burgundy and golden veins, set against a classic white base. Rather than confine it to the splashback alone, we extended the same Xtone slab up the rear wall, fully cladding the area for a consistent, high-impact look.

A Harmonised Surface Transition

One of the most carefully considered elements of this project was the fusion between the Corian® worktop and the Xtone splashback. The fabrication was measured and detailed to ensure the Corian® transitions seamlessly into the back wall, meeting the Calacatta Viola with zero visual disruption. The result is a subtle but powerful design statement: organic and modern, bold yet balanced.

Finishing Touches for a Refined Practical Space

  • Thermoformed Corian® curves: The solid surface allows for gentle rounded corners and profiles, making it safer and easier to clean.

  • Flush plinths and seamless cabinetry lines: Keeping the eye moving smoothly around the space.

  • Ambient lighting: Positioned to highlight the natural beauty of the materials used.

Why Our Utility Rooms Stand Out

At Bespoke Kitchens and Interiors, every project is a balance of tradition, innovation, and personalised craftsmanship. With in-house Corian® fabrication, curated materials, and a deep appreciation for practical beauty, we deliver more than just storage – we create rooms that elevate your daily rituals.
