What should you keep in a boot room? Do I need a boot room? And what are the best boot room ideas for my home? These are questions we are often asked at Roundhouse London. So if you find your luxury kitchen design is a storage overflow for coats, muddy boots, sports gear and garden kit, then a mud room is for you. Hardworking boot rooms can utilise kitchen storage ideas to hide away all your stuff. That leaves designer kitchens streamlined and clutter-free. If you’re not sure where to start with boot room ideas, book a design consultation with Roundhouse and find out how to get the most from your space.

Where should I put my mud room?

The best place for a boot room is next to the front or back door. Designing stylish mud rooms at the entrance and exit of your house makes perfect sense. You can take off wet coats and muddy boots without dragging them through your luxury kitchen design. Likewise, drenched pets can be dried off before they are let loose in designer kitchens. Our bespoke kitchen expertise can overhaul any zone – big or small – with creative boot room ideas. The Brand family home for example underwent a complete transformation including an ingenious wrap-around boot room. The sawn oak built in storage cupboards create masses of space to neatly hide away everyone’s shoes and coats.

Design a multi-purpose boot room

Combining a utility room with a boot room is a popular idea for many homeowners. And perfect if you’re short on space. A utility will already have hardworking surfaces, robust flooring, a sink and washing machine so muddy clothes can go straight in the wash! Otherwise add boot room ideas to your luxury kitchen design. Decide whether to continue the style and colour of your bespoke kitchen for a cohesive mood or go for a contrasting hue. Navy, ink and forest green work well in a boot room as they won’t show up dirty marks and splatters like a pale neutral.

Introduce kitchen storage ideas

Mud rooms need great storage, fact. So Roundhouse London can harness our vast experience in bespoke kitchen design to create tailormade storage for your boot room. Do you want a mix of kitchen storage ideas with both closed cupboards to hide your stuff and open shelves for easy access? How many coats, jackets, shoes and boots do you need to store? Do you want to keep pet essentials out of your luxury kitchen design and tucked away in your boot room instead? The boot room/utility in this stunning conversion in the Berkshire countryside offers masses of neat, fitted kitchen storage ideas. It uses the same handleless matt lacquer Urbo doors and striking marble surfaces as the main kitchen design. The result: a light-filled boot room with a space for everything.

Boot room ideas for all

Boot rooms and mud rooms are not just for large country homes. They work for all styles and sizes of homes. For a relaxed look, add a wooden peg rail, wicker baskets and bench storage to your mud room. If minimalist kitchen design is more your thing, lean into glossy surfaces, pale hues and a contemporary kitchen sink. Our designers at Roundhouse London can talk you through all the options for boot room ideas. Read more about our bespoke approach to design here.
