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.

Clean and Clutter-Free

A laundry room nestles into the space just off the back door. Baskets above coat hooks are labeled “family” and "friends" to corral all the little things that come into the house. Photo courtesy of Houseplans.co; photography by Bob Greenspan -HGTV.com
