1. Organize with Baskets and Crates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Storage baskets and crates are a great solution and a way to keep your mudroom organized. <\/span>Choose same type and size baskets for symmetry, and label them for each purpose or person. <\/span>They can be decoration pieces, like wicker baskets, but you can choose from a variety of materials and textures, such as straw, reed, raffia, bamboo, rattan, and synthetic fibers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baskets are great to store shoes because they are light and easy to move around, whereas wooden crates, as beautiful as they might be, may not be ideal for children; they are heavier and not practical to place in and out of the cabinets. But the advantage is that they last long and can be painted.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Sit & Store: Benches with Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bench with storage is the perfect solution for mudroom organization. You need a place to sit and put on shoes, and extra storage is never too much<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do not have enough space for mudroom cabinetry, install a beadboard paneling and add a bench seating with open storage, ideal for shoes. You can also store mittens and scarves in baskets under the bench. <\/span>Make full use of the vertical space by adding coat hooks and installing an upper shelf for more storage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Maximize Space with Built-ins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Built-ins are a great solution for a total use of the space.  Since mudrooms are normally right at the entryway, they must be kept tidy, otherwise you will soon have piles of coats and shoes spread right at your front entrance!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, plan a place for everything: a bench with cubbies for shoes, hooks, coat racks, or a cabinet for bags and winter clothing. You can have baskets for mittens, scarves, and winter hats on the shelves.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Backpacks can also be kept on hooks or under the bench \u2013 the important thing is to have a designated spot for each storage need, so everyone knows where to keep \u2013 and where to find – their stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Reuse Kitchen Cabinets in Your Mudroom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can repurpose an armoire, a dresser, or a kitchen cabinet<\/a> to use as a mudroom cabinet. <\/span>Upper kitchen cabinets can be installed over a bench, to make a perfect mudroom storage solution.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mudroom bench is between 15 to 20 feet wide, whereas a mudroom cabinet is narrower than a regular closet, measuring about 18 feet deep. <\/span>Many kitchen cabinets are also 18 inches deep, which makes it easier to upcycle your old kitchen cabinets into stylish mudroom cabinets.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on your space, you can still have a mudroom with narrower shoe cabinets, measuring between 12 ro15 inches deep, and use the vertical space for hooks. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Transform Your Space with an L-Shaped Mud Corner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a mudroom corner cabinet, there\u2019s no need for swing-out shelves. You can have an L-shaped bench and install hooks and shelves above them, and you\u2019ll have a functional mudroom cabinet.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The L-Shape design of a corner cabinet offers many possibilities for creative use of space. You can have one cabinet and shelving unit on one side, and a bench with hooks and underneath cubbies for shoe storage on the other side, for maximum use of the corner space.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
