March 2, 2017
These 8 modern mudrooms can inspire you to create your own DIY mudroom makeover with ideas for lockers, storage, benches and cubbies, perfect for keeping your family organized.

Mudrooms are one of the best rooms you can have in your home when you find yourself with dirty boots or wet clothes. They provide a space to clean your boots, dry bulky clothes, or store outerwear. To inspire your own mudroom, here are 8 modern examples.


1. This mudroom (or winter sport storage space) is perfectly designed with light wood cabinets, racks and hooks. A wood bench makes it easy to take off boots, and upper storage spaces with wire baskets keep things organized.

2. This minimalist white mud room in a renovated stable has just the essentials – a few wall hooks, a chair to make it easier to put on your shoes, and a broom for wiping up messes tracked in from outside. There’s also a closet for storing coats, and a single pendant light and provides enough lighting in the room to keep it bright.

3. The large window in this modern mudroom lets in plenty of light that’s reflected off the white walls. Tiny wall hooks create an area to hang your jacket, while a dark wood drying rack sits on one wall, and under the window a bench with open storage cubbies creates a spot for putting on your shoes.

5. In this mostly white modern mudroom, there’s plenty of shoe storage in the form of shoe racks, while above them are spaces to hang coats. Thin wall mounted cabinets under the window give each family member a place to store bits and pieces, and white cubes and metal bins on top of the hanging racks create extra storage space. A little shelf is home to containers of snacks and pens, and a magnet boards lets family members leave notes for each other.
