utility room
A utility room is a room within a house where equipment not used in day-to-day activities is kept. "Utility" refers to an item which is designed for usefulness or practical use, so in turn most of the items kept in this room have functional attributes. A utility room is generally the area where laundry is done, and is the descendant of the scullery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.utilityrooms.com/utilityroomsfaq.cfm )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.learnersdictionary.com/search/utility%20room )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.hihut.com/organized-utility-room.html )〕
''Utility room'' is more commonly used in British English, while North American and Australian English generally refer to this room as a ''laundry room'', except in the American Southeast.
==Uses==
The utility room has several uses but typically functions as an area to do laundry. This room contains laundry equipment such as a washing machine, tumble dryer, ironing boards and clothes iron.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.utilityrooms.com/laundryaids/ )〕 The room is also used for closet organization and storage. The room would normally contain a second coat closet which is used to store seasonal clothing such as winter coats or clothing which are no longer used daily.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.utilityrooms.com/closetorganizers/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.utilityrooms.com/storagecabinets// )〕 Storage spaces would contain other appliances which would generally be in the kitchen if it was in usage daily. Furnaces and the water heater are sometime incorporated to the room as well. Shelving and trash may sometimes be seen at this area as not to congest the other parts of the house. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.utilityrooms.com/trashcans/work= UtilityRooms.com ) 〕
