If you’re lucky enough to have a mudroom in your home, you know just how handy they can be for their intended purpose: keeping the mud, water and dirt brought in from outside separated from the rest of the house. The problem is, most mud rooms are rather small and quickly get cluttered with shoes, coats, hats, dirty socks, backpacks, sports equipment and who knows what.
What you need is some organization, and that’s where custom cabinets can save the day. We have great ideas for ways that custom cabinets and storage can restore order to the chaos happening in your entryway.
Custom Cabinet Solutions for Your Mudroom
Shoe Solutions
- Built-in cubbies or shelves
Everybody gets their own personal shoe space, which is great for smaller, well-organized families. But spaces are limited, and might not accommodate larger shoes and boots. - Shoe racks or cabinets with adjustable shelves
These can provide more space for larger families and the versatility to handle larger footwear. - Baskets or bins
You can have an individual bin for each person, or a large community basket for everyone. - Boot and shoe trays
Every respectable mud room needs a tray or container to hold wet, muddy footwear.
Coat Storage
- Wall-mounted coat racks
These are perfect for a smaller number of people, but limited on how many items they can hold. - Closet rod and shelving
A custom closet with a coat hook rod and built-in shelving will give you more space and storage versatility. - Large coat cubbies
These can be individual cubby holes with a couple of hooks at the top and space below for other items and accessories.
Backpack/Bag Storage
- Hooks or cubbies
Like with coats, family members can have their own space for backpacks and tote bags. - Bench with storage underneath
Put your sitting space to use with a lift-up top to hold bags, packs and other items. - Lockers or locking cabinets
If you’ve got kids, this will feel just like school, giving them some privacy while making them keep it tidy — or at least out of sight.
Sports Equipment
- Open shelves or cubbies
Wide open shelves or cubbies can hold a surprising amount of unwieldy sporting equipment. - Pegboards
Come with a variety of hook types for hanging large items, cleats and skates. - Cabinets or lockers
These can be the bigger kind to hold larger and longer sports gear. - Storage bench
Great for storing bulky and lengthy equipment, with added seating space.
