We have bought a Victorian semi and are doing it up before moving in (it was completely derelict)
DH and I are currently arguing over designing the kitchen and we can't agree on just how essential a dedicated utility room is.
The kitchen is L-shaped. The rectangular bit is circa 5m x 2.5m and the L-shaped bit is 3m x 1.5m. The kitchen opens directly into a dining room/family area, very cosy with wood burner etc
DH would prefer the washing machine/tumble drier/dishwasher to be integrated into the kitchen design, but not have it enclosed with walls...his argument is that it will destroy the openness of the kitchen. I do want a utility room, but mostly because I've been to friends' houses and I like the idea of it. I do agree with him that we will be introducing corners and walls into a space that is actually very neat and with good proportions.
So, wise MN-ers, what would you do? And if you do have a utility room, do you love it or hate it?
