  • How to Design a Mudroom That Stays Neat and Clean

    “A place for everything and everything in its place” is a popular saying that helps define the goal of a well organized mudroom. In any busy home the mudroom is the perfect space to store outerwear, shoes, bags, and family necessities. A great way to design a mudroom that stays neat and clean is to focus on creating custom built-ins that fit your family’s specific needs.

    Some of our favorite mudroom features include:

      • Built-in shoe storage Many families fight the daily battle of shoe storage. They quickly pile up and become unmanageable. Built-in shoe shelves, cubbies, or racks provide space for shoes that keeps them up and out of the way.

      • A sliding door A shallow closet is a great place to install hooks, shelving, and a bench. You can add a sliding door to close the space off completely and to help keep clutter hidden.
