A boot room is an eminently practical space, but that is not to say it can't be an attractive one too. The key to designing a really good mud room is careful planning. Think about what elements you are going to need in advance, be it a shoe rack, coat hooks or somewhere to store unsightly outdoor gear. Then, think about how the room should flow. It's unlikely you will take off your muddy wellies last, so keep your shoe storage as close to the door as possible.
Taking inspiration from both city and country boot rooms, assistant decoration editor Rémy Mishon has kicked up three charming schemes. Aiming to keep joinery and built-in furniture to a minimum, these spaces are designed to work just as well for rental properties as long term houses.
