When it comes to designing your home, a mudroom is probably on your list. As one of the most hardworking spaces in your home, it’s easy to see why! From doubling as a laundry room to optimizing your home’s storage, mudrooms help keep your home organized and tidy. Keep reading for five of our favorite mudroom features.
Built-In Storage
You can never go wrong with a lot of storage and the mudroom is the perfect place for it! Built-in cabinets and drawers offer plenty of room for storing household goods, cleaning supplies, and seasonal shoes and clothing. Utilizing baskets is also a stylish way to conceal unsightly items and keep smaller items organized.
Benches
A good bench is an essential tool when it comes to stopping dirt and debris from getting tracked throughout the house. Not only does it encourage people to sit down and remove their shoes, but it can also optimize storage. Simply opt for a bench with a built-in cubby area or place a boot tray beneath a bench with an open bottom.
A Pet Washing Station
If you’re tired of trying to give your dog a bath in the tub, a built-in pet washing station in the mudroom might be the solution! A dedicated bathing area keeps your bathtub free of pet hair and built-in hooks keep your furry friend from escaping mid-bath! What’s not to love?
Washer and Dryer Hookups
Combining your mudroom with your laundry room lets you get the most out of the space. You’ll be able to quickly throw dirty laundry straight into the wash without worrying about dragging dirty items throughout the house.
Easy to Clean Floors
Easy to clean floors are a mudroom lifesaver and you can’t go wrong with a waterproof option. Your best bet is a luxury vinyl plank or a ceramic tile. Not only are they a breeze to clean, but they also come in many styles and colors.
