You may not know it yet, but you need a mudroom
If you love a level of organization and functionality that you just haven’t quite achieved in your home, behold, the Mudroom: the perfect place to transition yourself and your things from outdoors to in and back out again. Whether it’s in a corner of the garage, an entryway or a whole room of its own, this oft-overlooked space is perhaps the missing piece in the flow and convenience of your home.

"It's practical to consider the mudroom as a transition zone between a garage and the main house," says interior designer Molly Quinn. "And since people frequently use their back entrances as their main entrance/exit, it's helpful to consider what areas guests will walk through before arriving at their destination." For a tailored mudroom with plenty of storage, Quinn included a wool Oushak runner, which she says is naturally durable. Photo courtesy of Molly Quinn Design -HGTV.com
