Cloakrooms & Boot Rooms

The cost of a built-in fitted cloakroom can vary significantly, with prices typically ranging from £1,500 to £2,500 for a more standard design and rising to £5,000 or beyond for bespoke, high-end options. These figures depend on several factors, including the size and layout of the space, your choice of materials, the complexity of the customisation, and any additional features such as lighting, tech or storage enhancements. When gathering quotes, we recommend ensuring that each quote reflects a like-for-like product and service in order for you to make accurate comparisons. Whether your budget is modest or more extensive, most projects can be tailored to achieve both practicality and style without compromising on quality.

When it comes to storing coats and boots, there are several practical options available to keep your cloakroom organised and clutter-free. Hanging rails (or singular hooks) are a classic choice that we offer, allowing you to neatly arrange coats, jackets, and other outerwear while keeping them easily accessible. Shelves are another common request, providing additional storage space for folded items, such as jumpers, or accessories like hats and scarves, maximising the use of vertical space in your cloakroom. For boots, we typically recommend cubbies, or dedicated boot/shoe racks. Cubbies offer individual compartments for each pair, ensuring they stay together and preventing dirt or moisture from spreading. Boot/shoe racks, on the other hand, provide a compact and space-efficient option, allowing you to store multiple pairs in a vertical arrangement.

Certainly, built-in seating or benches are an excellent and practical addition to cloakrooms, and we frequently incorporate them into our designs. These seating solutions not only provide a convenient spot for putting on or taking off shoes, they are also an elegant way to optimise space in smaller areas. To enhance functionality, bench designs often include hidden storage compartments underneath, offering a clever method to keep the room tidy while discreetly storing items such as footwear, bags, or other essentials. Having a built-in bench tailored to the dimensions and style of the cloakroom ensures a cohesive and seamless appearance. Whether you prefer a sleek contemporary finish or a more traditional aesthetic, we can create a solution that complements the overall design. This versatile feature enhances the practicality and usability of the space while maintaining an organised and polished look.

For a small coat and boot room, the focus should be on maximising storage and maintaining a sense of order. Wall-mounted hooks are ideal for coats as they free up floor space while keeping items easily accessible. Pair these with an integrated bench featuring hidden storage underneath; perfect for stowing away boots, umbrellas or seasonal gear. If the space allows, consider a slimline shelving unit or cubbies to organise smaller items, such as hats and gloves.

Certainly, both mirrored and glass doors are excellent options for your built-in coat cupboard, offering a modern and elegant alternative to traditional wood or MDF doors. Mirrored doors, for instance, can help create the illusion of a larger space by reflecting light throughout the room. They’re especially beneficial in smaller halls or entryways where space is limited. Glass doors, on the other hand, lend a sleek and contemporary appearance, allowing you to showcase the interior of your cupboard if desired, which can be particularly appealing when combined with thoughtful organisation, or lighting. However, there are some aspects to consider when choosing between these options. Mirrored doors may require regular cleaning to maintain their reflective quality, as fingerprints and smudges can be more noticeable. Glass doors, while stylish, might not provide full privacy for cupboard contents and could pose a risk of breakage depending on household circumstances. Contrastingly, wood or MDF doors offer durability and a timeless appearance, with less upkeep required. While they may not offer the same modern aesthetic, they often blend well with traditional or rustic interiors and can be customised to fit a range of styles. Both mirrored and glass options truly elevate the cupboard’s look, but your choice will depend on your priorities regarding décor, maintenance, and functionality.

It is entirely possible to add both a heated boot dryer and coat warmer to your cloakroom, offering superb comfort and practicality during colder months. Integrated into our bespoke coat cupboards, these features ensure boots and garments stay dry, warm, and ready to wear. Boot dryers help prevent dampness and extend footwear longevity, while coat warmers add a cosy touch to outerwear. Favoured by luxury clients, these additions are ideal for winter, keeping your home tidy and organised while managing wet or snowy conditions. Modern designs allow for discreet installation, ensuring a stylish cloakroom without sacrificing functionality or ease of use.

Yes, antimicrobial and odour-resistant materials are available upon request and great for boot and coat room cupboard units. High-pressure laminate (HPL) can be infused with antimicrobial properties to reduce bacterial growth and odours, and is durable, easy to clean, and stain-resistant. For a sustainable option, bamboo or cork-based materials are naturally antimicrobial. Treated wood or composite boards with embedded antimicrobial additives also enhance cupboard functionality, resisting odours and staying fresh with regular use. These materials create a practical and hygienic boot and coat room.
