ELEVATE YOUR MUDROOM: Our Top Tips

The Fall is creeping up way too fast! With the start of school around the corner, you might be looking around your home hoping for a smoother start this year. Getting back to the grind is hard enough as it is, get your home in tip-top shape to set you up for success!

What’s one of the best things you can do in your home to help with the back-to-school grind? ELEVATE YOUR MUDROOM! Elevating your mudroom can transform it from a simple storage area into a beautiful, functional space to smoothly transition into busier times and muddier shoes.

Here are our top 5 tips for elevating your mudroom:

Add Stylish Storage Solutions OR Custom Cabinets

Upgrade your boot and shoe storage by using stylish cabinets, or custom-built cupboards. This will create a seamless, tidy feel to a space that normally gets overwhelmed and cluttered. Consider using high quality finishes, to help these storage solutions last in this high traffic area.

Add Hooks and Pegs

There are so many beautiful hook and peg solutions out there, so play around with the idea of adding multiple hooks or pegs to your mud room space. Hats, Jackets, scarves can all be hung up to keep this outdoor clothing off the floor-preventing clutter.

Include Seating with Storage

If you have enough space, add seating with built-in storage. A stylish bench with hidden storage underneath can be an excellent way to keep the mudroom organized while offering a place to sit (especially when taking those pesky boots on and off).

Use High-Quality Flooring

Choose durable and easy-to-clean flooring materials that can withstand the mess that comes with outdoor gear. Tiles, vinyl, or stain-resistant laminate flooring are good options!

Introduce a Statement Piece

Why not add a little personality ;).  Incorporate a statement piece of furniture or decor to add personality to the mudroom. This could be a unique bench with vibrant cushions, a vintage coat rack, or an eye-catching wall mirror.

Bonus TIP: If you have space, adding a small sink in the boot room can be extremely practical for washing dirty hands, cleaning gardening tools, or rinsing off muddy boots before bringing them inside.

At the end of the day, your mudroom should be designed specifically for you and your family. Think outside the box, and about how it should work for you – even adding additional features like hooks for pet leashes or storage for sports equipment can make it even more functional for your family.
