Timber Frame Cottage Utility Rooms Built Smart

Even utility areas in a timber frame cottage can be attractive and efficient. Tuck laundry machines into a mudroom or behind cabinet doors to save space. Use reclaimed wood shelving for storage and natural stone or tile for durability. Consider a small sink, folding station, and wall-mounted drying racks. Ensure proper ventilation and lighting to support daily tasks. Keep the style consistent with the rest of the cottage—timber details, neutral colors, and rustic finishes blend utility with aesthetics. Thoughtful planning ensures that even behind-the-scenes spaces feel cohesive and contribute to the overall function of your timber frame cottage.
