One room in your home where you spend a considerable amount of time and that sees quite a bit of traffic is your laundry room. It can be easy to view this space only for its utility, but there is a lot of potential in even a small laundry room. Based on its proximity to your home’s entryways and with a variety of updated storage and organizational designs, your laundry room can be transformed into an aesthetically pleasing, highly functional space. So, how do you see beyond the washer, dryer, detergent, and hangers to a welcoming, comfortable, well-designed, purposeful laundry and mudroom? These four mudroom features and design ideas will help.

Durable Flooring in Your Mudroom

Your mudroom serves as a key entrance into your home and has a different purpose from your main entry. It is designed to catch and collect everything that comes from the outdoors before it can reach the interior of your home. From mud, grass, dirt, and debris to sports equipment, school bags, and more, the flooring in your mudroom needs to be up to the task. Porcelain tiles are a good option for your mudroom. They need very little maintenance and are available in a variety of styles. Tile also holds up well to dirt and moisture, which will both be common in your mudroom.

Seating in Your Mudroom

As you come and go through your mudroom, having a place to sit where you can put on or remove shoes, store bags, and more can be comfortable and convenient. You can opt for a bench or a couple of chairs; however, you can also include built-in seating that can double as cabinetry, storage, and organization. 

Storage & Organization in Your Mudroom

Creating a space where everything has its place is one of the biggest advantages of a mudroom. From cabinetry and shelving to hooks and racks, the storage and organization options are limitless. An experienced design team can create options that will completely enhance the space and function of your mudroom. 

Counterspace in Your Mudroom

Counterspace is key to enhancing the functionality of your mudroom. Features such as beautiful quartz countertops, expansive surface areas, a sink, and many more can be included to make many activities and tasks in the mudroom easier. Whether you are sorting and folding laundry, organizing, or need some extra storage space, your counters have a lot to offer.
