What Makes a Great Mudroom?

If you have one, the mudroom is likely the first thing that a guest sees upon entering your home. That means you have to invest in your mudroom if you want to make a good first impression. Fortunately, mudrooms are usually small so you don’t have to break the bank trying to renovate it.

In today’s blog post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Wilmington, one of the premier home remodeling contractors in the area, highlights the features you need to invest in to make a great mudroom.

Sturdy Hooks

A mudroom isn’t a mudroom without decent hooks and racks. After all, one of the primary functions of the entryway is to accommodate coats, hats, jackets and other outerwear. Maximize your wall space with multiple rows of hooks. This design hack also works if you only really have a wall to work with. Keep the walls plain to avoid making the mudroom look cramped and busy.

Multi-Purpose Benches

Benches are essential to every mudroom. Benches aren’t only a place for you and your guests to sit while you’re taking your shoes off, they can also serve as storage for footwear. Benches with flip-up seats are perfect for mudrooms with limited or no storage.

Sensible Flooring

Mudrooms take quite a beating so the floors need to be tough. Your best bet is tile flooring which is durable, customizable and easy to clean. You can even upgrade tile floors by installing in-floor heating to keep everything warm and toasty during the colder months.
