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.

HANDMADE SOFT FURNISHINGS | CHOOSING COMFORT AND COLOUR
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.
