A Tidy, Timeless Mudroom + Laundry Room

Featuring a wood plank accent wall, floor-to-ceiling storage, cozy seating and more, this hardworking mudroom connects the home's entryway to the rest of the house.

When adjacent rooms open up to one another, it's smart to create seamless transitions so the rooms flow nicely and appear larger. Both the laundry room and the mudroom in this home are outfitted in muted shades of gray and separated by a pocket door that can be left open or closed to keep the sounds of the washer and dryer at a minimum.

Keep your mudroom feeling light and bright by adding a glass-paned exterior door. This will allow natural light to filter in, making the small space appear larger.

When budgeting for a mudroom design, consider investing in as much floor-to-ceiling integrated storage as possible. This will keep the space looking tailored and tidy since most of the clutter will be concealed behind doors and drawers.
