"The Mudroom is usually a home's secondary entrance unlike the one which we use for guest. Even the smallest of mudrooms is helpful for keeping the house clean and organized and the family efficient." Says interior designer DeekshaKhatri
- Size of Mudroom – A 5' wide and 8' length mudroom allows apace for a standard way to hall (3 feet wide) and a spacious bench with storage lockers/cabinets (2 feet wide), hooks etc.
- A mudroom design should be based on maximum utility of space in terms of functionality with some aesthetic value.
- A mudroom acts as a transition between indoors & outdoors and prevents cluttering of the things in living or bedroom.
- A mudroom should have proper storage for foot wears, wet clothes, umbrellas, rain coats, hats, keys, goggles, sports gear, gardening equipments, power banks etc.
- In big families and pet lovers can even have a corner slop sink (wash area) in mudroom to clean the dirt before entering the living of the house. This will keep the house living more neat and clean.
- The drop zone of a mudroom can be painted in black chalkboard paint which turns this mudroom into a family message center.
- Mudroom flooring should be durable and easily maintained as it will see dirt, mud, and water, paw prints etc. Tiles flooring is a good option.
- There can be a door that can close off the mudroom from the rest of the house when you want to hide the clutters as these will probably be times when in spite of enough storage space the mudroom is in mess. You can have a sliding or glass door.
