Anyone ever done this? Our utility room is a conservatory-type room, it comes off the kitchen at the back of the house, is glazed (some of the double glazing is blown) with upvc panels on the lower half and a corrugated plastic roof. It's got no heating and in the winter gets very cold and damp and therefore mouldy. There are old kitchen cupboards in it which we'd like to take out and replace with something like Ikea baskets/open shelving etc - we also have a washer/dryer in there and the fridge freezer.
Would it be a huge job to make this room more of a 'room' and less of a conservatory - we can't really use it as this anyway - there's no room to sit and even if I didn't mind relaxing next to the Domestos and recycling bin I couldn't see out of the windows into the garden as they start halfway up IYSWIM! I can't help thinking it would be better to make it more like a proper utility room and less like a half-assed conservatory. What would we need to do and would it cost a lot? Thoughts and advice welcome from anyone who's done something similar
