Boot Rooms & Entryway Storage
Keep the mud at the door
Bespoke boot rooms for busy households — coats, boots, bags, dogs, and everything else that arrives at the back door.
The busiest square metre in the house
A boot room isn't a luxury — it's the answer to a pile of coats on the banister, a row of wellies in the hall and a dog that wants to sit on the sofa. Whether you've got a porch, a rear lobby, a walk-through or a corner of the utility, we'll design a boot room that handles the daily traffic and looks like the rest of the house.
It's often the smallest room we design, but the one with the tightest brief. Every centimetre has to work.
A place for everything that comes in
Hanging rails for coats, cubbies for shoes and wellies, a bench to sit on while you pull them off, baskets for scarves, hats and gloves, hooks for dog leads, a drawer for the keys. Planned around your household, not a catalogue.
Built to take the weather
Durable finishes, wipe-clean bench tops, tiled or porcelain floors integrated into the design, drainage trays for wet boots. We specify materials that don't flinch at a rainy school run.
Designed to match the rest of the house
A boot room sits in a busy circulation space, so it has to look right. We use the same finishes and detailing as our kitchens so it reads as a room rather than a cupboard.
What we design
Full boot rooms, porch conversions, understairs boot storage, rear-lobby fit-outs, dog-washing stations, bench-and-hook runs, integrated shoe and coat storage. Often designed alongside a utility room or as part of a wider kitchen project.
Frequently asked questions — boot rooms
- How much space do I need for a proper boot room?
- A useful boot room starts at around 1.5 metres of wall run with a bench, hooks above and cubbies below. A dedicated room of 2m x 2m gives you a full wall of storage plus a dog-washing station or bench seat.
- Can you include a dog-washing area?
- Yes — low-level showers with hand-held hoses, tiled splashbacks and a drain are becoming one of our most common boot room requests.
- Do boot rooms need ventilation?
- Wet coats and boots will cause problems without it. We specify a discreet extractor or trickle ventilation on every design.
- Can you convert a porch or understairs cupboard?
- Most of our boot rooms are conversions rather than dedicated new-build rooms. Porches, back lobbies, garden rooms and large understairs cupboards all work well.
- What does a boot room cost?
- Smaller runs start around £3,500 installed. Full rooms with bench seating, dog-washing and matched finishes typically sit between £6,000 and £12,000.
