I am currently planning my utility which is going to be a mixture of ikea cupboards and shelving.There is going to be a laundry area and a food storage area plus huge ugly fridge.I have 4 dc's so have masses of laundry.How do i design the cupboards for hiding it all?.Is it better to use baskets or leave an area under the worktop for the wheely laundry bins.I have perused website asnd kitchen planner forever but i am still stuck.Anyone any ideas?.The length of one wall is 5.2 metres and the short wall is 2.6 i think [ brickies are currently building it at the mo].

IKEA has actual laundry inserts for the cupboards, with baskets etc which fit inside. :)

Whomoved.... do you have a link for this cupboard?.I have the kitchen book and can find the cupboard that stores mops and ironing board etc, but not any cupboard that will store baskets.I am trying to avoid actually going to a Ikea which would probably be easier as the website is horrible!.

Try ikea antonius that is the range I think teta is referring too. Doesn't look great online but might be better in the catalogue

Thank-you Vanilla,i have found the antonius range.It looks freestanding ,will it fit in the faktum tall cupboards?.The other alternative i guess is using a large recycling bin that will fit in a high faktum cabinet.I wish ikea did a section on utility rooms and some alternative storage ideas.
