Mudroom
build in as much storage as is practically possible. Having lots of space here for shoes and coats will take pressure off other storage areas in the house, too. Once you’ve determined who is using the mudroom and what you’ll need it for, plan for all the various shelves, hardware and storage items you’ll need. You’ll need hooks for hanging, perhaps drawers for storage or open spaces and baskets for easy access. If you’re intending to store keys and mail, consider some small pigeon-holes such as the shelves in this mudroom. These can store those things you need to find in an instant as you walk out the door, such as keys and wallets.
What do you want it for? Think of everything you might put in this room or space – every last thing – before you plan it. Consider how you and your family live, including kids and animals. They might all want to leave their stuff there. These are some of the things you might want to store in this space: Coats,Hats,Shoes,Scarves,Handbags, backpacks, shopping bags,Keys,Mail (including a bin to recycle junk immediately) Prams, buggies, baby carriers
Add some colour It might be the first thing you see as you walk through the door, so consider painting it a bright, happy colour like this one. And add a beautiful, potted plant
