If you can incorporate heating into this area – either a wall-mounted heater or an underfloor system – it will help to speed up the drying process and keep your shoes and clothes toasty warm. In this design by John Young Furnishings of Keswick, a simple boot shelf has been built in front of a small radiator heater to dry out walking boots, while a plastic tray is ready to accommodate any muddy footwear.

*****Use a tough paint finish The walls are painted in emulsion at the top, but gloss at the bottom, so they’re easy to wipe down; you can just see the dividing line if you look closely. Choosing a similar paint finish will help your walls look cleaner for longer.

Q

****Choose mop-clean flooring A mudroom area will get a lot of wear, so tough, easy-clean flooring is key.mop-clean surface for muddy boots and shoes. If you don’t have a hard floor, a thick, natural-fibre doormat will offer an extra layer of protection and can be used to cover any type of flooring. A boot tray is also a good investment, as you can stand any wet or muddy boots directly onto this as soon as you walk through the door, then leave them to dry.
