3 Reasons to Add a Mudroom to Your Home Remodel
A well-designed mudroom can make daily life more convenient while adding value to your home. Our clients incorporated a mudroom into their full-home remodel to serve as a buffer between their garage and newly remodeled kitchen. Here are our three key reasons why a mudroom should be on the top of your renovation wish list!
What is a mudroom?
A mudroom is a secondary entryway that is designed to be a buffer between the outside elements and the indoors. These transitional spaces help curb dirt and clutter from tracking throughout— helping keep the mess of daily life somewhat contained.
Why should I invest in a mudroom?
Organize Your Chaos:
Having a transitional space in your home to act as your family’s “drop zone” will help contain backpacks, coats, and shoes in one place.
Protection from the Weather:
Homeowners living in environments with harsher weather will benefit from having a buffer between the outdoors and the rest of their home. Not only does a mudroom contain dirt and mud, but it also helps keep your heat or air conditioning from going out the door (literally!)
Increase Storage:
A well-designed mudroom will utilize floor-to-ceiling storage to maximize the small space. From coat hooks to shoe racks and every custom cabinetry solution in between- the sky’s the limit when it comes to personalizing your mudroom to suit your family’s needs!
Reno Inspo: Family & Pet-Friendly Mudroom Remodel
Our clients’ mudroom is just one part of a full-home remodel. This mudroom is unique because it serves as the family’s laundry room and houses a powder bathroom.
This mudroom may be small, but it sure is mighty! Custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry equipped with personalized storage solutions optimize the small space. Even our clients’ four-legged friends were taken into consideration with pull-out food bins!
When it comes to making material selections for your mudroom, durability is key. Our clients selected quartz countertops and brick floors laid in a herringbone pattern throughout their mudroom and powder room. These hard surfaces are guaranteed to handle the daily wear and tear that comes with kids and pets- and not to mention- are easy to clean and maintain!
