Step Inside: Mudroom

Unassuming, yet ingenious, mudrooms create a buffer between what happens outside and the life you live inside. Prized for providing a home for all of life’s gear and a drop zone for outerwear, footwear and headgear, they function best when you employ the secret weapons of organization. If backpacks, gloves and hats all have designated drop-spots, there’s a greater chance that strays won’t get lost or misplaced in the shuffle. Shoe shelves elevate shoes off the floor—an absolute must if you have any hope of keeping walkways clear—and hooks are perfect for those grab-and-go essentials such as backpacks, hats and jackets.
