Boot room ideas can be a great addition to your new self build or renovation if you have the available space. But, even if you don't, there are still plenty of ways to carve out a corner of your home dedicated to keeping dirty shoes and mud at bay.

Perhaps you're looking at ways to make your hallway more functional or think your utility room can handle a multi-purpose role. Or, maybe you're still in the early stages of planning and know that a boot room is a must in your new home.
