Cloak Room & Utility Design Services
A well-designed cloakroom can instantly make your home look better by combining bright space planning with stylish details. Thoughtful layouts, bold finishes, and built-in storage can turn even the smallest spaces, like an under-stair WC or a small guest bathroom, into practical and stylish places. The team at Studio 20 Architects designs cloak rooms that fit your lifestyle and the style of your home, adding comfort, function, and personality to your space.
Smart Way To Design Small Cloak Rooms
With the right approach, even the smallest cloak room can feel big. We use a mix of small fixtures, bright lighting, and materials to make the space feel open and welcoming. These little design details can make a big difference, making your cloak room feel elegant and cosy.
Some design features we commonly use include:
- Wall-hung basins and WCs to free up floor space.
- Integrated storage for cleaning essentials, toiletries, shoes, or coats.
- Large mirrors and layered lighting to create depth and brightness.
- Feature walls or patterned wallpaper to add character without overcrowding.
- Under stair cloak room conversions that maximise unused alcoves.

Here’s what our clients have to say.
This was my first project and I was nervous at the beginning as every thing was new to us. Nadir was very helpful in guiding us through the entire project from planning stages to choosing materials to assigning builders; giving us assurances that the project would be finished on time and on budget. He also provided us with ideas for interior design. The build was of high quality with great care taken throughout. Geroge and his team were excellent builders and really gave us a peace of mind. There were issues with some of the materials (not their faults but due to Covid restrictions and the subcontractors), all of which were sorted out by Nadir and George between themselves. I’m hugely impressed by the after build care (nagging jobs and other issues). They were all addressed without fuzz.
A true test of a beautiful house is whether you are proud of showing it to guests. I’d say this project has passed this test with the highest score. We are still in love with the extension 3 years after it has finished. We’ve also received a lot of compliments from our guests.
I highly recommend both Nadir and George for their service.
