Choosing Wall Tiles for Your Utility Room
If you’re lucky enough to have a separate utility room in your home, then you’ll already know the practical benefits of a separate area for laundry, extra storage and worktop space – and in some cases, another sink! However, there’s more to a utility room than just its functional uses, and for that very reason, you should consider this space when it comes to interior design.
Your utility room can be the perfect space to get creative with interior design trends and with that in mind, we’re going to be walking you through choosing wall tiles for this domestic area, helping you bring personality and panache to this often underrated room.
Kitchen carry on
Typically leading off from the kitchen, utility rooms were traditionally used for doing the laundry, but in modern homes, this is now becoming an adaptable space that acts as an extension of the main kitchen area for workspace and storage. Whether you have an open-plan kitchen/utility or two separate rooms, a fantastic way to create the illusion of space is to follow on the design of your kitchen into the utility room. To do this, match the wall tiles in the utility room with your kitchen wall tiles and you’ll achieve a unified look in both areas.
Add a splash of colour
While a lot of kitchens and utility rooms lean towards neutral tones, there really is no reason why you can’t use coloured wall tiles to add personality. One way to do this is with another hot trend, block colouring, that will create an interesting feature and define the different areas. For example, a dark floor will be beautifully complemented by stark white modern wall tiles gleaming above it. Alternatively, combine vibrant colours with decorative wall tiles or different coloured mosaics to create a unique splashback.
Experiment with bold styles
Another great way to spruce up your utility room is to experiment with different interior design styles. As an area often less used than the kitchen or living room, you can incorporate bold styles and colours without the worry of it being too overbearing for every day. And with utility rooms usually being on the small side, the cost of experimenting with different wall tiles is considerably less too.
If you’re a fan of the latest trends for patterned tiles, you can give your utility a luxurious finish with feature wall tiles to instantly transform it from a practical space into an area that’s you enjoy spending time in – even if it is doing chores! Alternatively, with wall tiles for a utility room, you can move away from your usual style. Why not go bold with contemporary wall tiles that will bring your utility room right up-to-date with the latest interior design trends?
Make the practical choice
Finally, don’t overlook the practical properties of using wall tiles in your utility room. Waterproof, hardwearing and durable, they make the perfect practical choice for splashbacks above sinks and worktops in an area that’s designed for chores – helping to keep your utility room looking smart and pristine for years to come.
