They are durable and create a perfect place for washing, scrubbing, soaking, cleaning, and other household tasks. A good plug system is also encouraged so you don't catch threads in the clothing.A utility sink is an excellent functional addition to laundry rooms, workshops, and similar spaces. Laundry sinks tend to be larger and deeper than normal utility sinks, to provide space for soaking larger items of clothing like jumpers, which might be washed by hand. While there is no official difference between a laundry sink and a utility sink, you may want to consider only using a laundry sink for clothing to reduce the risk of stains or grease being transferred after different uses. "Wood is a beautiful natural material with each piece revealing its own unique character. It can be sanded back if stained and is generally more softer to work with, however they tend to be more upkeep and prone to staining than granite or quartz worktops due to the porous nature of the material. If it’s a high moisture area, keep this in mind before deciding on your worktop." What is the difference between a laundry sink and a utility sink? "It is important to think about your worktop material when designing around a utility sink," explains Alex Main of the Main Company.
The elements around the utility will make a utility sink look nice - from a good worktop, splashback, taps and decoration. The dark blue utility room above includes wall lights which can be adjusted depending on the task in the utility room. "When creating your lighting plan, ensure that you are taking things into consideration, such as not standing in your own shadow at the sink, as you won’t be able to see what you’re doing," adds David Amos, founder of Amos Lighting + Home. "If you want to incorporate wall lights by the sink for example, they need to be of the correct rating for wet areas."

Taps are another consideration - do you need both hot and cold water? Is a simple mixer fine, or do you need a flexible nozzle as well?
An aluminium splashback is a super hygienic and low maintenance option as well as being sustainable and effortlessly stylish." "The utility is often busy and used for cleaning and maintenance tasks, so, having a splashback which is easy to wipe down will make the space easier to maintain and keep clean. "It is essential to have a splashback in the utility room, not only behind the sink, but also across the countertops," says a representative from Alusplash. Just as in a kitchen design, choosing the size and shape of your sink is not where the decisions end for utility spaces.
