Home office or utility room?

[RosieHosie]

Which would you rather have? We currently have a home office, but I'd prefer a utility.

Do you have 10 kids or work from home?

I mean, each person will say differently depending on family and work circumstances

All in one? Nothing says I’m working from home like a washing machine whirring away in the background of your Teams call.

I’d probably opt for the utility and set up a small home office somewhere else though.

Sorry, I was going to say more in my OP but felt I was rambling on!

I use the home office to wfh two days a week. DH uses it for the paperwork side of his S/E business. We also have a fridge freezer in there. Thinking of converting it to a utility and using a spare bedroom to work from instead. Then coukd free up room in the kitchen. Maybe have an open plan kitchen diner + lounge instead of kitchen + lounge/diner. No DC at home anymore.

I’d go for a utility room every time. It does depend how large the room is. In a previous house DH shared his office with a sink and washing machine. We’re about to buy a house with a 15ftx11ft room which will be the utility/ office space.

We currently have a small 4th bedroom that we’ve set up as an office but I’d love a utility room so this is on my wishlist of properties we are looking at. Neither of us work from home, my husband does very occasionally so we don’t really use a home office but would love to chuck the laundry stuff away!

Home office now. Utility when kids were little.

if You can have a spare room / office, and a utility room 100% go with that.
