Size

The size of your existing utility room greatly affects the final cost of a utility room renovation. Despite the small size, there is a lot of space for customization. The plumbing, electrical, and appliance systems make up most of the renovation. All of these offer a variety of possibilities at various price points.

Storage

If you lack space, you might also consider adding more storage instead of renovating the existing one. Storage such as cabinets, shelves, or closets, are abundant in many utility rooms. They can be used to store towels and linens, off-season apparel, or cleaning supplies. Project costs can vary significantly because there are so many different kinds of storage.

Appliances

The cost of the appliances and furniture must also be taken into account. What you intend to do with the room will determine how much you spend. Your final cost will also depend on the type and features of the units and appliances you choose.

Additional Cost

Are you a pet owner? Do you want more storage for food? Aside from laundry-related activities, a utility room can have a lot of uses. It can also be used for additional things that you may want to add, such as:

  • Pantry
  • Pet room
  • Extra restroom
  • Appliance room

This will further increase your total cost.
