Top Mudroom Storage Ideas To Beautify Your Space

September 23, 2015

You might think your mudroom isn’t very important. It’s just the transition space between the inside and outside of your home, right? Actually, this is the very reason your mudroom is so important. If neglected, you could be left tripping over the kids’ rain boots or scrambling to find your other glove when you’re already late for work.

On the other hand, an organized mudroom adds style, beauty and functional organization to your home. Here are the features a closet designer can add to your mudroom to get the clutter under control.

Mudroom Cabinets

Closed mudroom cabinets provide a good way to keep your active family organized. Elongated cabinets in a built-in mudroom organizer provide a space to store your belongings while keeping them hidden behind closed doors.

With a separate mudroom cabinet for each family member, there will be no more mixing up your kids’ backpacks or digging in a catch all box to find your baseball cap. It’s also easier to assign cleanup duty to the culprits who let their cabinets become messy when each family member has their own space.

Open Storage Shelves

Visible storage is perhaps the most flexible feature in a mudroom. If it’s easier for you to store items on shelves where they remain instantly within reach, this is a great option.

Your entire mudroom storage solution may be comprised of open shelves, or you may decide to flank mudroom cabinets with shelves to store small items shared by everyone such as sunscreen, insect repellant and beach towels. Cubbies near the floor also provide a place to store shoes so dirt, water and mud aren’t tracked throughout your home.

Built-in Bench

It’s wonderful to have a place to sit down and leisurely put on your shoes. That’s why a bench is such a great addition to your mudroom design.

A bench also increases storage space. You might choose one with a hinged seat to access the inside or hollowed-out cubbies or drawers that glide open with ease. Whatever style you choose, the bench can serve as a storage space for everything from shoes to firewood to extra dog food.

Lots of Hooks

Some of the most important things you store in the mudroom are best stored hanging up. Coats, umbrellas, backpacks, purses, tote bags, hats, scarves and pet leashes are easiest to find when stored on hooks. Line your mudroom cabinets or open storage shelves with hooks to increase their functionality.
