Boot Room, Surrey

The space and light offered by this boot room was so generous so we could allow for roomy storage both sides of the length without compromise. The brief was for it to be very functional, hiding away all the unsightly kit of life such as sports and wet weather gear, providing Monty the dog with a bed but also lots of hooks and cubbies for easy access grabbing on the run! However, we also wanted the room to feel distinctive and jolly with smart accents so ensured the hardware was antique brass and wood was walnut to deliver that elevated feel. For the tall, elegant and symmetrical joinery, we chose a gorgeous warm, mid blue that has a presence, but doesn’t weigh heavily on the room, lit beautifully by three tall sash windows which we dressed with roman blinds in Lewis & Wood’s linen Etienne in Moonstone. The family bench for pulling on outdoor shoes is another lively fabric to add energy; Fermoie’s Cove in a magenta shade.
