boot room

Footwear storage area

A boot room is a small room, usually near a back or side entrance of a house, where outdoor footwear and gear are stored.

Common in British homes and country houses, it keeps muddy boots, coats, and umbrellas from tracking through the main living spaces: Leave your wellies in the boot room.

The term also appears in football contexts, referring to the area where players change footwear.
