A boot room, a porch, a utility room. These practical spaces might be where you stash your walking shoes and hide your coats to keep the rest of the house tidy, but there’s no need to overlook this wonderful styling opportunity. For busy families, dog owners and anyone who enjoys the outdoor life, a well organised boot room is a must have space that will revolutionise your home. If you can keep your coats, shoes, wellies, dog leads, umbrellas, schoolbags and any other outdoorsy kit in one designated place, it will make a huge difference to the rest of your house.
If this area is cluttered it’s not actually serving its purpose. You want neat, space saving solutions to make the most out of a room that is designed to be a transitional storage space. Follow our simple tips to clear away clutter and add a few well chosen light, wall and door fittings and you can create a boot room to be proud of.
LIGHTING WITH UTILITY IN MIND
BROOKE WALL LIGHT
This is a sconce your home really can’t live without! The Brooke Wall Light is versatile in that you can decide with orientation works best in your room…fix up or down depending on your preference. The Brooke is paired here with our 20cm medium Pendant French Drum Shade in Soft Gold Cow Parsley cotton. Known for its versatility, cotton is one of the most commonly used fabrics for lamp shade as it is lightweight, durable and has a softness which is ideal for diffusing light evenly around a room. Our cow parsley has a relatively large weave that gives it a wonderful texture akin to linen. It is uniform appearance and brings a rustic and understated beauty for a laid-back look.
STANTON PENDANT LIGHT
HARDWEARING METALWORK FOR A HERITAGE FEEL
RAMSHOLT COAT HOOK
There’s always something to tuck away, so you can never have too many storage solutions like wall hooks. The Ramsholt Coat Hook is attractive traditionally forged double coat hook in a hammered matt black finish.
We make plenty of hooks in a selection of our beautiful finishes and ensure they are straightforward to fit on the wall or door for whichever purpose you need. Using our hooks in the nook of fitted cabinetry in a cloakroom for example is a thoughtful solution, leaving the floor space free to feel open, roomy and uncluttered with plenty of tucked away storage for any necessities.
THORNHILL MIRROR
A beautifully hand crafted and generously sized mirror that will give the illusion of further space in a smaller room. All our mirrors are hand forged and high quality – an everlasting home accessory to enhance any home.
INTERNAL LETTER PLATE
FABRIC IN SOFT GOLD COW PARSLEY
When it came to choosing a colour palette for our new Cow Parsley Fabric, it was clear that plucking Jim and Sheena’s favourite views from their Suffolk farm would be translated into this new collection. An ode to the beautiful countryside we call home, Soft Gold is inspired by the glowing warmth of late September light, fire embers in December and the flourishing tones of daffodils come March. This collection conjures memories just like these: kicking off muddy boots at the doorstep and warming your hands on the radiator, admiring the first blooms of spring and the hum of wildlife in the trees. Our Cow Parsley collection neatly encapsulates all of these small seasonal joys into something you can admire all year round as part of your interior.
HUNSTANTON VELVET CUSHION COVER IN SAFFRON
WATERFORD CUSHION COVER IN ELEPHANT LINEN
Our Waterford Linens are soft, tactile fabrics made up of a selection of gorgeous dusky tones that lend themselves beautifully to soft furnishings, whether curtains, shades or cushions. Linen is a beautifully soft yet tough natural fabric that is prized throughout the world for its versatility. Used everywhere from bedding to upholstery and lampshades, families would pass their linen to the next generation such is its durability and longevity.
