Bootrooms- Designed for Living, Crafted for Daily Life
Where Mud and Chaos Become Order
At Figura, we design boot rooms with the same level of consideration, craftsmanship and spatial intelligence that informs all our work. Often sitting between the outdoors and the heart of the home, a boot room does far more than hold coats and shoes — it sets the tone for how the entire house functions. When thoughtfully designed, this transitional space becomes an anchor of order, practicality and quiet elegance.
A boot room is also one of the most revealing rooms in a home. It reflects how a family lives day to day: the comings and goings, the routines, the muddy walks, the busy mornings, the pets that tumble through the door. Understanding these rhythms allows us to design a space that genuinely supports them.
Figura’s Approach to Boot Room Design
Our design team is particularly drawn to these hardworking rooms. The domestic “back end” of a house holds a certain fascination for us — spaces that must work hard, adapt easily and remain beautifully resolved even under the pressures of everyday life. Boot rooms present a range of design challenges that, when handled with care, can transform the usability and atmosphere of a home.
Every boot room we create begins with a conversation: how your family uses the space, what needs to be stored, how pets are managed, how clutter gathers, how wet coats dry, and how the room should feel as you move through it. From there, we design cabinetry with intention — durable, beautiful, and made to measure.
Bootroom Storage Designed Around You
Effective storage is central to a well-functioning boot room. We consider the three key layers of organisation:
Shoe storage
Hanging space for coats, jackets and outdoor layers
Shelves, drawers or cupboards for hats, gloves, dog leads, sports equipment and everyday essentials
Depending on the space, we may integrate benches with lift-up storage, woven baskets, pegged walls, or bespoke cabinetry that accommodates everything from school bags to walking boots. Each detail is designed to feel effortless and instinctive, ensuring the room works beautifully for the whole family.
Materials, Craftsmanship and Durability
A boot room endures the daily wear of seasons, pets and busy households. For this reason, we choose materials not only for their beauty, but for their longevity — timbers that age gracefully, finishes that withstand real use, and handcrafted cabinetry built with the same precision as our kitchens. The result is a space that feels robust yet refined, practical yet elegantly composed.
A well-designed boot room enhances the entire home. At Figura, we believe these hardworking transitional spaces deserve the same level of thought and craftsmanship as any principal room — because when they function beautifully, so does the rest of the house.
