Grey Entrance with White Walls Ideas and Designs
Humphrey MunsonA curious quirk of the long-standing popularity of open plan kitchen /dining spaces is the need to incorporate boot rooms into kitchen re-design plans. We all know that open plan kitchen – dining rooms are absolutely perfect for modern family living but the downside is that for every wall knocked through, precious storage space is lost, which can mean that clutter inevitably ensues.
Designating an area just off the main kitchen, ideally near the back entrance, which incorporates storage and a cloakroom is the ideal placement for a boot room. For families whose focus is on outdoor pursuits, incorporating additional storage under bespoke seating that can hide away wellies, walking boots and trainers will always prove invaluable particularly during the colder months.
A well-designed boot room is not just about storage though, it’s about creating a practical space that suits the needs of the whole family while keeping the design aesthetic in line with the rest of the project.
With tall cupboards and under seating storage, it’s easy to pack away things that you don’t use on a daily basis but require from time to time, but what about everyday items you need to hand? Incorporating artisan shelves with coat pegs ensures that coats and jackets are easily accessible when coming in and out of the home and also provides additional storage above for bulkier items like cricket helmets or horse-riding hats.
In terms of ensuring continuity and consistency with the overall project design, we always recommend installing the same cabinetry design and hardware as the main kitchen, however, changing the paint choices to reflect a change in light and space is always an excellent idea; thoughtful consideration of the colour palette is always time well spent in the long run.
Lastly, a key consideration for the boot rooms is the flooring. A hard-wearing and robust stone flooring is essential in what is inevitably an area of high traffic.
Flavin ArchitectsThis new house is located in a quiet residential neighborhood developed in the 1920’s, that is in transition, with new larger homes replacing the original modest-sized homes. The house is designed to be harmonious with its traditional neighbors, with divided lite windows, and hip roofs. The roofline of the shingled house steps down with the sloping property, keeping the house in scale with the neighborhood. The interior of the great room is oriented around a massive double-sided chimney, and opens to the south to an outdoor stone terrace and gardens. Photo by: Nat Rea Photography
Everything HomeOur Carmel (Indiana) design-build studio transformed this dated home into a vibrant, cheerful space using custom furniture and thoughtful decor. A beautiful console table and artwork were added to the entryway to set the tone for the rest of the house. We updated all the furnishings in the living space, creating a bright, comfortable, and welcoming atmosphere. The dining room was given a sophisticated look with elegant wallpaper and statement lighting, which added the perfect finishing touch.

Ольга Долидзе Квартира начинается с прихожей. Хотелось уже при входе создать впечатление о концепции жилья. Планировка от застройщика подразумевала дверной проем в спальню напротив входа в квартиру. Путем перепланировки мы закрыли проем в спальню из прихожей и создали красивую композицию напротив входной двери. Зеркало и буфет от итальянской фабрики Sovet представляют собой зеркальную композицию, заключенную в алюминиевую раму. Подобно абстрактной картине они завораживают с порога. Отсутствие в этом помещении естественного света решили за счет отражающих поверхностей и одинаковой фактуры материалов стен и пола. Это помогло визуально увеличить пространство, и сделать прихожую светлее. Дверь в гостиную - прозрачная из прихожей, полностью пропускает свет, но имеет зеркальное отражение из гостиной.
Выбор керамогранита для напольного покрытия в прихожей и гостиной не случаен. Семья проживает с собакой. Несмотря на то, что питомец послушный и дисциплинированный, помещения требуют тщательного ухода. Керамогранит же очень удобен в уборке.
