Discovered insider information about top Farrow & Ball color choices for utility rooms, ideal for any room dimension

In the heart of homes, utility rooms often serve as the unsung heroes, housing essential appliances and goods. However, with a thoughtful approach to colour selection, these spaces can be transformed into stylish and productive areas that complement the rest of the home.

According to Holly Cockburn, Content Editor at our platform, known for her insights on kitchen and bathroom designs and buys, the utility room colour scheme deserves careful consideration. One popular choice is Farrow & Ball's Ammonite (Nr. 274), a versatile light gray that pairs well with both warmer and cooler tones, making it an ideal choice for coordinated kitchen designs. Other favoured shades include subtle neutrals or soft blues like Stone Blue, which bring a sense of calmness and freshness to utility spaces.

For those seeking a cosier, cottage-like feel in their kitchens, Green Smoke is an ideal choice. This colour softens the stresses of a busy kitchen, making the heart of the home feel grounded and safe. Green Smoke, a colour that sits between green and blue, is popular in homes from the 19th Century and is available in a range of finishes suitable for kitchen spaces, including the washable, wipeable, and scuff-resistant Dead Flat formula.

French Gray by Farrow & Ball is another popular choice for utility rooms, leaning more towards green than grey. This calm, timeless, and quietly uplifting colour is especially effective in spaces with little natural light. Melissa Hutley, Interior Designer & Co-Founder of Hutley & Humm, recommends French Gray for its soft, sage-tinged neutrality.

For those looking to experiment with a more playful shade, Farrow & Ball's Sulking Room Pink is the way forward. This muted rose shade of pink adds warmth and personality while still opening up the room and adding light.

Holly Cockburn, who previously was part of the editorial team at Howdens, where her interest in interior design, specifically kitchens (Shaker is her favourite!), was sparked, also has experience with TikTok viral cleaning hacks and how to take care of investment purchases such as lawn mowers, washing machines, and vacuum cleaners. She believes that a beautiful colour scheme in a utility room can inspire productivity.

Lastly, French Gray is often used near gardens to link the two spaces together, creating a harmonious flow between indoor and outdoor areas. Whether you're aiming for a cosy cottage feel, a playful pop of colour, or a harmonious flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, Farrow & Ball colours offer a range of options to transform your utility room into a stylish and functional space.
