Do Yourself a Favor and Add a Mudroom to Your Home
One of the best things you can do for your home is to add a mud room if you don’t have one already. A well-organized, well-planned mudroom can help you keep the winter messiness from getting tracked all through your house.
Two Important Considerations
There are many ways to plan and create a mud room that will work well for the size of your family and the location in which you live. These are surely two very important elements to consider.
Functional Elements to Consider in Your Mud Room:
- A Built-In Bench – design a bench with built-in storage by adding a top that lifts.
- Open Lockers –for coats, bags and outer clothing layers that need to come off when you come inside
- Cubbies – storage for shoes, hats, glovesHooks – several hooks inside the lockers allow damp clothing items to dry
- Baskets – a basket in the bottom of each cubby can hold a multitude of items that will be right where you need them when it’s time to go back outside.
- Sturdy Rug – choose a sturdy rug that will catch debris and make cleaning easier
Painting your mudroom in a bright, cheerful color will add a welcoming touch. You can coordinate the colors by painting the inside of the lockers and cubbies a darker shade for a very stylish look.
