Why didn’t I think of that for my mudroom?
A well-designed mudroom can serve many functions, transforming unused space into practical areas. We’ve
compiled our favoutire ideas to help transform your mudroom into a multi-functional space.
Paying our Dues
Maximize every square
inch of your mudroom by
transforming an unused
area into a home office. Tall
cabinets reaching the ceiling
make for great storage while
the desk itself gives you an
area to pay bills and set up a
home computer or laptop.

Seasonal Storage
Does your mudroom
look cluttered with
an abundance of
shoes filling your
open shoe rack?
Add a closed shoe
cabinet that stores
off-season footwear
to keep them close
at hand yet out of
sight.
Back to School
Individual cubbies separating each child’s items and a
chalkboard where parents can add reminders, help make
mornings easier for everyone!

Doggy Digs
After an afternoon
of your dog running
in your muddy
backyard, you need
not worry about your
carpets! A built-in dog
wash station in your
mudroom keeps your
dog’s paw prints off
your flooring!
