Utility Room Advice

I'm converting my garage, and this will include a fairly long, galley style utility room. I'm thinking of having a walk in pantry/cupboard at the far end but was wondering if anyone has any must-haves for a great utility room? My only wants at the moment are a big pantry, and a clothes pulley!

If you have enough space in your kitchen - 2 dishwashers...

A cupboard that washes its contents!!!

We also changed the back door to-one that opens out to make the best use of the space and blocked up a window so we could put the large double cupboard in there. I wouldn’t have a ceiling airer personally as wrong style of house for us so I use a fold up one. We also plumbed the drier straight outside so no drawers to empty.

I saw one where the washing machine and tumble drier were raised up and underneath haD a pull out shelf to put the washing basket on - awesome.

Thanks LittleEsme I love it! I can’t take pictures sorry as am away at ILs but will try to take some on return.

Yes to a tumble stacked on top of a washer with the pull put shelf in between.

Rail along the wall for ironed items to be hung on.

Door to the outside.

Tall thin cupboard for ironing board and vacuum.

These people had both the washing machine and tumble raised up side by side so no more bending down!!!
