Comfort with a Countryside 

As part of the celebrated WOW!house 2025 at Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, interior design studio Sims Hilditch has unveiled a charming and practical interpretation of The Courtyard Room entitled The Modern Boot Room

Known for their beautifully detailed utility spaces such as boot rooms, mud rooms, and pantries, Sims Hilditch brought this much-loved sensibility into the heart of the 600 sq m showhouse.

Their design takes inspiration from the rhythms of family life, with a brief centred on muddy boots, dogs, garden vegetables, and cut flowers. The result is a thoughtful rear entrance hall, divided into three purpose-led areas that reflect the practicality of the modern British country house. 

Key to the room’s warmth and character is the use of Havwoods HRC1910 Skiron Rustic timber, applied across the ceiling. This design choice adds texture and visual interest overhead. The natural grain and tonal depth of the timber help define the room.
