How do I create a mudroom in my home?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
You can create a mudroom by converting unused space near an entryway, a section of a garage, or part of a hallway. Include built-in cubbies or lockers for each family member, hooks for coats and bags, a bench for putting on shoes, and durable flooring like tile or luxury vinyl. Add shelves or cabinets for storage. A mudroom keeps clutter at the door and provides organized storage for outerwear, shoes, and school bags.
Why It Matters
A mudroom is one of the most functional spaces you can add to your home. It keeps dirt and clutter from spreading throughout the house and streamlines daily routines.
