utility rooms
Household work areas
A utility room is a space in a home dedicated to practical household functions—typically laundry, storage, and cleaning supplies.
The room usually houses the washer and dryer, water heater, or furnace.
In British usage, utility room specifically means a laundry room.
The space prioritizes function over appearance: We keep the mops and vacuum in the utility room.
