When thinking of ways to renovate your home, a mudroom likely isn’t the first thing to come to mind. A mudroom is a small space usually located near your front or back door used to store items you use daily when leaving your home like coats, backpacks, purses, and shoes.

While a mudroom can easily become cluttered and unattractive if not designed correctly, here a few ideas to implement so your mudroom is both useful, clean, and stylish:

  • Add decorative wallpaper or paint
  • Use tile, laminate, or hardwood floors
  • Include a bench for storage and easy shoe removal
  • Implement drawers, cubbies, or storage boxes

A good place to start is by looking at the space you have and coming up with a budget to see what design works best for your home.
