Operating as a multi-functional space in your home, a mudroom can fit a variety of lifestyle needs. From storage to doubling as the laundry room, these hardworking spaces help to keep your home clean and organized.
Read on for five of our must-have mudroom features!
Storage Lockers
For busy families, ensuring there’s enough storage space for the kid’s backpacks, sports equipment, and everyday items is essential. Storage lockers offer a fun twist on traditional storage options like built-in cabinets and drawers. Assign one to each member of the family so everyone has their own dedicated storage space.
Benches
Your mudroom is the first defense when it comes to limiting how much dirt and debris gets tracked into the house. Placing a bench in the mudroom encourages people to sit down and take off their shoes. Add a boot tray underneath the bench, or select one that has a built-in cubby area to optimize storage.
Utility Sinks
Installing a utility sink in your mudroom can come in handy in a variety of situations. Whether its a quick place to rinse off muddy clothes or cleaning up after a crafting session, you won’t regret it!
Easy to Clean Floors
It’s safe to say your mudroom floor takes a lot of abuse. It’s in the name, after all! Easy to clean flooring will be the key to preserving your sanity, especially during the transition from winter to spring. The best part? Just because they’re easy to clean doesn’t mean they can’t be beautiful, too! Opt for a ceramic tile or waterproof luxury vinyl plank to get the most bang for your buck. For an added bonus install underfloor heating to keep your toes nice and toasty during those colder months!
A Chalkboard Accent Wall
Create a message center in the mudroom with a chalkboard accent wall. Simply coat one wall with black chalkboard paint or paint a smaller section of the wall and build a frame around it to make a smaller message board. This is great for busy families who need to keep track of multiple schedules, too.
