What Do You Put in a Mudroom?

Mudrooms are typically located near a door… usually a back door or door leading out to the garage.  So, they’re a great place to store things you’d need to grab on the way out of the house!  Here are some of my favorite things to store in the mudroom…

• Coats
• Hats
• Gloves
• Scarves
• Backpacks
• Purses or Bags
• Car Keys
• Shoes
• Boots
• Umbrellas
• Dog Leashes
• Pet Toys

Mudroom Must-Haves {10 Essentials}:

So when you’re updating your mudroom, or just creating a mini entryway mudroom with a furniture piece, here are the essential things you’ll want to incorporate…

1. Small and Large Hooks at a Variety of Heights
2. Accessible Labeled Storage Spots – Lockers, Cubbies, Baskets, Bins
3. Wall Clock {to make sure you’re on schedule}
4. A Bench Seat {perfect for putting on or removing shoes}
5. Floor Mat {to wipe your wet or muddy feet}
6. Boot Tray {to store wet or muddy shoes and boots}
7. Additional Shelves {think vertically… shelving above can house additional baskets bins, or boxes… or hide additional belongings!
8. Umbrella Holder {to store full-size umbrellas}
9. Durable Flooring {porcelain tile works great, and will stand up to the moisture and wear and tear of this high-traffic zone of your home}
10. Full-length Floor Mirror {so you can get one last peek at yourself and fix any flyaway hairs before you head out the door}

How to Create a Mudroom without an Entryway! {Creative Mudroom Alternatives}:

No room for a mudroom?  No problem!  Just get creative and look around for any usable space by your front or back door. Even if you don’t have enough room for a proper mudroom, you’ll be surprised at how efficiently you may be able to use that space!

1. Add Shelves and Hooks to Your Laundry Room.  Is your laundry room near an entry point to your home?  Consider using space in your laundry room for extra storage with shelving, and hooks for hats, coats, dog leashes, etc.
2. Place Boot Mats and Shoe Shelves in the Garage.  Mud rooms are a great place to store dirty boots and shoes when you’re coming in from outside.  So if you don’t have a proper mud room, try placing boot mats and shoe shelving just outside the door to the garage.
3. Hang Hooks in the Hallway.  Consider hanging decorative hooks in the hall near the back door for your kids to store their backpacks…

Or hang hooks near your entryway to store jackets, scarves, and bags…
