Almost any home has a spot to tuck a mudroom-style nook: within the front entryway, in the hallway, off a back porch, next to a side door, or by the door to the garage. All it takes is some creativity and custom touches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/diplomatclosetdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/COVER-5-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diplomatclosetdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/COVER-5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/diplomatclosetdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/COVER-5-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/diplomatclosetdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/COVER-5-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mudroom Tip #1- Open and Hidden Shelving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shelving is essential in a mudroom. It keeps everything organized, from shoes to mail. Consider adding a variety of hidden and open shelving. This makes it easy to hide clutter behind closed doors but keep frequently-used items within reach.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Work with a <a href=\"https:\/\/diplomatclosetdesign.com\/\">custom closet design<\/a> company to create shelving that is perfectly tailored to your mudroom. Maybe you need slide-out shelves for purses and sunglasses. Perhaps you wear extra-tall boots that need oversize shelving. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A bench with storage underneath adds a spot to rest, plus a place to store out-of-season shoes and boots. A tall, slim cabinet allows you to hide a Swiffer or mop nearby, to sop up any messes.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add some natural-weave baskets on shelves for a practical and fashionable touch. Incorporate shiny cabinet pulls for a designer look. Use live-edge wood for a rustic touch. Virtually anything is possible with custom shelving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/diplomatclosetdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_4816-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diplomatclosetdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_4816-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/diplomatclosetdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_4816-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/diplomatclosetdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_4816-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mudroom Tip #2- Hooks and Holders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to add hooks, knobs, and other holders to your mudroom design. These humble bits of hardware can do heavy-duty work in the mudroom. Here are some ideas to spark inspiration.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Add a row of 3 to 6 double hooks along the mudroom wall for purses, scarves, and hats.<\/li><li>Install a few low, child-safe hooks for children\u2019s backpacks and gym bags.<\/li><li>Heavy-duty hooks and holders can hold wet shoes up off the floor as they dry.<\/li><li>In a very small space, select cabinet hardware that can double as a hook.<\/li><li>Opt for fold-away hooks that are only extended while in use.<\/li><li>To keep your mail and keys organized, install a letter holder with hooks.<\/li><li>If you have a dog, add an oversize hook or knob for the leash.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/diplomatclosetdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/0T3A7410-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4784\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diplomatclosetdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/0T3A7410-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/diplomatclosetdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/0T3A7410-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/diplomatclosetdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/0T3A7410-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mudroom Tip #3- Fully Integrated Decor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing is for sure: You\u2019ll love your mudroom more if it complements your home\u2019s decor. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/lifestyle\/real-estate\/2016\/10\/14\/tips-tricks-mudrooms-get-reboot\/5T2SCCEU9rAR2MKTWBRGsL\/story.html\">Barney Maier<\/a>, a renowned architect, says, \u201cThe mudroom is the new foyer. As we\u2019ve become more casual in the way we live, side and rear entrances &#8211; often adjacent to the garage &#8211; have become de facto main entryways into the home.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means your mudroom shouldn\u2019t be a dark, sad place. It should be fully integrated with your home\u2019s overall style, from flooring to ceiling trim. Use wood that matches the rest of the house. Paint the walls a bright, fresh color.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great place to <a href=\"https:\/\/diplomatclosetdesign.com\/home-storage\/nggallery\/mudrooms\">add custom touches like beadboard<\/a>, a chair rail, shaker-style cabinets, vintage hardware, or a statement light fixture. If it makes you happy, add it to your mudroom and enjoy it every day.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Download Our Lookbook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lookbook.diplomatclosetdesign.com\/Lookbook\/\">Download our Lookbook<\/a>, which is full of ideas for organizing your spaces inside your home. &nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Request An Appointment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/diplomatclosetdesign.com\/request-an-appointment\">Request an appointment<\/a> and we\u2019ll show you how to add organization and functionality to your home\u2019s closets.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best mudrooms are a beautiful combination of form and function.
