We might all dream of having a mudroom like this one featured at Better Homes and Gardens, with beautifully hand crafted built-in storage lockers for each member of the family…
but the truth is, all you really need in a mudroom is a little organized storage, some coat hooks and a bench or table. You don’t need a whole room for that…and I’ll bet with a little inspiration you could create a beautifully stylish mudroom in your home…without even having an actual mudroom!
This is a perfect example of how a little thinking outside the box could yield great results. Just simply by adding bead board and hooks to the wall, this space looks and functions as a mudroom…never mind that it’s just a hallway. Don’t let the bead board throw you off though. Even if you’re not a big time do it yourself-er you could easily just hang some knobs on the wall to use as coat hangers for a similar look!
You could also turn a small nook in your home into a mudroom. This space is small yet stylish and efficient!
Or how about turning a closet into a mudroom?
Even just one piece of furniture could totally get the job done as shown at Simply Seleta, and this is a great idea for anyone that’s in a temporary housing situation. When you move…your mudroom moves with you!
As you can see creating a mudroom isn’t really about having the perfect dreamy space; it’s about dreaming up ways to use the space you have!
