As well as being a highly practical area in which to store your boots, coats and other outdoor accessories, boot rooms can also be stylish spaces which offer a glimpse of what can be expected throughout the rest of your home. 

The most successful boot rooms strike the ideal balance between style and functionality, ensuring that all your essentials can be safely tucked away but still easily accessible for dog walks, the school run, impromptu outdoor adventures, and much more. 

There’s quite a lot to think about when designing a utilitarian space like a boot room, especially when it’s a room that is connected to your kitchen. Your boot room may also need to house some essential appliances, such as a chest freezer or washing machine, so here are some tips and tricks we hope will help you create the perfect space.

Smart Design Tips for Connecting Your Kitchen and Boot Room

Integrate built-in shelves for plenty of storage 

Built-in shelves can be customised to suit the scale of your space and provide you with plenty of storage options to keep your space tidy, organised and free from clutter. This bespoke storage solution will also allow you to incorporate a combination of pull-out drawers and shelves at different heights to ensure that all the family can easily reach their coats, shoes and accessories. 

You could choose to keep your shelving open to display some of your favourite things, but if you want to achieve a sleek and seamless look, installing stylish kitchen cupboard doors will keep everything out of sight and dust-free.

Pro Tip: Choose the same kitchen cupboard doors for your boot room and kitchen to create a sense of cohesion and connection between the two spaces.

Conceal appliances behind kitchen cupboard doors for a seamless look 

Boot rooms can be excellent multi-functional spaces, and you certainly don’t need to compromise on aesthetics to ensure your space is functional and tailored to your needs. Concealing large appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers behind high quality kitchen cupboard doors is a simple and affordable way to create a space that looks organised and appealing at all times.

For modern spaces with a traditional twist, Shaker style kitchen doors are ideal as they have a sense of timelessness about them as well as the clean lines that feature so prominently in contemporary design. Our Bella Shaker doors are a popular choice and they come in a selection of finishes including Natural Oak, Antique White, Pistachio Green and Blush Pink.

Create connection with wallpaper 

A beautiful wallpaper is a chic and stylish addition to any space. When used in a highly functional space like a boot room, it can provide an extra layer of interest and means you don’t need to accessorise further with decorative items or artwork you may not even have space for.

Pro Tip: You could choose to use the exact same wallpaper within your kitchen and boot room spaces, however you can also select different wallpapers that share a similar pattern or colour scheme in order to give each room its own distinct personality.

Make use of overhead space 

Wall-mounted cabinets are an excellent way to maximise the vertical space in your kitchen and boot room, which is essential if you’re working with a room that has a small footprint. Wall-mounted cabinets also provide you with an opportunity to incorporate different colours or tones into your space, as you can choose different kitchen cupboard doors for your wall-mounted and base cabinets.

Whether you choose doors with panelling, such as the Bella Stratford or slab style doors, such as our Bella Venice range, every door in our collection comes in a selection of colours and finishes. This means you can choose the same finish for a sleek look or combine colours to showcase your personality.
