Design Notes
A mudroom is a valuable addition to the home, as it stores everyday items like shoes and coats, while also serving other organizational purposes. Whether you are remodeling your current mudroom or adding one to your house, we have compiled some of the most common questions and answered them in this blog.
Where are mudrooms located?
The room’s purpose frequently determines the location of any restoration or remodel. A mudroom is usually found near a door, such as in the foyer, laundry room, or even the garage. For families with school-aged children, placing the mudroom near an entry door can be helpful, as it offers out-of-sight storage for backpacks, shoes, and coats while still being within easy reach. Areas like the garage let you shed soiled clothing or shoes before entering the house. You can even opt to include a laundry hamper for an accessible collection. Pairing it with your laundry room works well if it is located near a garage or back door, since you can also drop off dirty clothes or even wash up before entering areas like the kitchen or living room.
How to make a mudroom wall
Sometimes, there is not enough space to dedicate an entire room, but even a wall can be transformed into a functional mudroom imitation. Hooks provide a place to hang clothing, backpacks, hats, and a briefcase. Installing a simple bench will allow you to sit down to put on or take off your shoes, and you can also place decorative bins or baskets underneath for added storage. Designing custom cabinets can also increase your storage options along the wall and be used for several purposes, including sports gear and seasonal clothing.
