Designs Beyond the Kitchen & Bath: The Mudroom



For busy families, the mudroom is what saves or sinks a family's organization.  Coats, shoes, boots, hats, gloves, backpacks, sports equipment, keys, wallets, and purses all get dropped here as the family enters the house.  Whether you just have a small entryway designated as a mudroom, or a large room, the function of the space will decide whether this area becomes a vortex of belongings, or the epicenter of the family's organization.  Custom cabinets and shelving isn't just for the kitchen.  Look at designs beyond the kitchen & bath to find a plan to make your mudroom a welcoming, organized space.
Custom Cabinetry to Organize Your Mudroom
The best way to come up with a plan for your mudroom is to look at what gathers there and find a home for those things.  Are everyone's coats and jackets stuffed in one area?  Shoes in a pile?  Providing a space for each person's belongings can make the room instantly more put together.  A common design involves a long bench with closed cabinetry or cubbies underneath to hold each person's shoes and boots.  Hooks behind the bench will give each person their own space for coats, jackets, and backpacks.  Additional cabinetry above the hooks can provide a home for hats, gloves, books, or sports equipment.
Quality Pieces Bring Design and Function to the Mudroom
Worried that the cabinetry won't stand up to constant daily use?  This is definitely a concern when using some of the particle board pre-made shelving kits you see in home improvement stores.  Edgewood Cabinetry uses only the best materials to make a quality product that will last for years, and you'll be pleasantly surprised at how affordable it is.  Concerned that your mudroom will look like a locker room with so many divisions?  Check out our pictures to see for yourself that a mudroom, despite its name, can have beautiful design aspects that will be a showpiece in your home.
