Mudrooms have occupied the spotlight for many years due to their overwhelming functionality. They often become a catchall for muddy shoes, wet clothes, and snow covered jackets, and help prevent dirt from getting tracked throughout the rest of your house. The organizational advantages of these rooms are endless based on the needs of your family. Here are several ways to use a mudroom to your benefit to further organize your home and keep it clean.
Laundry Area
It’s understandable to have a mudroom pull double duty as a laundry room. Dirty gardening clothes, kids’ sports uniforms, and other laundry items can begin to collect in a bedroom and pile up. One way to cut down on the mess is to have storage spaces with hampers where your family can deposit their dirty clothes right next to the laundry machines. Custom mudroom shelves and cabinets can hold laundry detergent, fabric softeners, and other cleaning items in an organized way.
Pantry
Sometimes mudrooms are connected to the kitchen of a house and act as a buffer between the garage or backyard. For homes that do not have a separate pantry space, mudrooms can hold extra, nonperishable food items. You’ll want to store items that can handle the fluctuating temperatures and moisture as this room will be subject to temperatures from the garage or outside. A reliable custom storage manufacturer such as Closet & Storage Concepts can help you create the perfect pantry space in your mudroom with durable and long-lasting materials that can handle all of the different seasons in Denver.
Utility Room
Don’t worry about constantly dragging the mop and cleaning bucket to clean your home. Keep all of it stored in your mudroom. Turning it into a utility space allows you to free up your coat closet, as you can relocate the large and bulky cleaning items such as mops, brooms, vacuum cleaners and chemical cleaning products. Cubby spaces for cleaners and tall closets for cleaning accessories are perfect storage solutions for these types of items.
Seasonal Storage
Kids’ activities change according to the seasons. It might be baseball practice in the spring and hockey tryouts in the fall. For all the outdoorsy people in your family, having a place to store their items becomes a necessity. This factor is especially true if there simply is no room in the garage or their own bedrooms. Mudrooms can become the perfect seasonal storage space. Storage benches can hold soccer balls and uniforms, while sports racks are perfect for tennis rackets and golf equipment.
