Boot room cloakroom. Carrara marble topped vanity unit with surface mounted carrara marble basin. Handmade vanity unit is painted in an earthy sea green, which in the boot room we gave a bit more earthy stones - the stone coloured walls and earth sea green (compared to the crisper cleaner colours in the other parts of the house). The nautical rope towel ring adds another coastal touch. The look is finished with a nautical style round mirror and pair of matching bronze wall lights. Limestone tiles are both a practical and attractive choice for the boot room floor.

How to find the right ideas for a cloakroom?
How do you start planning your cloakroom when you’re starting from scratch? Serving a practical purpose first and foremost, the ideal downstairs toilet is fitted with a few basic items: the cloakroom suite (a toilet and a hand basin), a storage unit and a mirror. These four are essentials and should be small enough to avoid crowding the small space. Specially-designed short-projection units are made to maximise space. If space is really tight, storage ideas are important. Consider space-savers such as corner basins and wall-hung toilets.
How should cloakrooms be decorated?
As with all small spaces, light and bright is often best – avoid decorating your cloakroom with any dark colours, although a well-patterned wallpaper can actually serve to open up the space if chosen carefully. Keep the scheme of tiles, wallpaper and decoration relatively simple, and create space with a large mirror. Also feel free to let the cloakroom reflect your personal style, whether that is sleek and modern or kitschy and cheerful, and it has become a British tradition to add liberal personal touches such as certificates, photographs, artwork and books.
However, as the cloakroom is often small and the toilet will take up most of the room, try to not go overboard with the decor. One pot plant will do, as will one large mirror. A stack of fluffy towels, a fragrant room diffuser and some nice handwash and maybe hand lotion next to your basin, will be all you need to make visitors feel pampered and welcome. Choosing a fancy wall colour is a great way to make your cloakroom exciting – soon you’ll be using your downstairs toilet more than your main bathroom.
