Is your closet busting at the seams? Or do you perhaps have no closet at all? Time to consider adding a mudroom to your house. Mudrooms are a popular interior design trend these days, and for good reason - they can house far more than a simple coat closet can. They can serve as a family command center for kids' school flyers and menus, for backpacks and shoes, for art supplies and sports equipment. Some mudrooms contain a laundry area, and some contain a mail station. Some mudrooms serve as a home base for a dog or a cat, with easy to clean, low maintenance building materials. A mudroom may consist of custom built-ins, or may simply be a corner of an existing room with pulled some clever, freestanding furniture, hooks, or shelves to house your most essential mudroom items. Whatever your storage needs, extensive or streamlined, carving out a mudroom area can keep the whole family more organized. And, being more organized saves you stress and countless hours that would otherwise be spent searching for misplaced items. While we love to design mudroom niches, a full mudroom interior design allows us to do what we do best here at Down2Earth Interior Design: elevate a space that is primarily driven by pragmatic requirements into a space that is also beautiful to look at and comfortable to occupy. I find myself voluntarily taking phone calls while sitting on the bench of my mudroom, simply because it's a comfortable place to be. My kids do their homework in the mudroom sometimes. My cat loves to curl up on sweatshirts temporarily left on the bench, or cuddle up in boxes on their way out to the recycling bins, just outside the door. Designing a custom mudroom for our family has elevated our lifestyle in so many ways, and I look forward to the opportunity to help make your mudroom design dreams a reality as well.

The mudroom, also known as the hunt room, not only serves as a space for storage but also as a potting room complete with a pantry and powder room.

Can you say Mud Room! In Blue. So charming with the bench seat, storage cubbies, and hooks for the kids back packs and coats! Painting the mud room cabinetry the same blue as the island provided a touch of drama and foreshadowing to what visitors are about to see when they enter the kitchen!

We transformed this entryway into a coastal inspired mudroom. Designing custom built in's allowed us to use the space in the most functional way possible. Each child gets their own cubby to organize school supplies, sporting equipment, shoes and seasonal outerwear. Wrapping the walls in shiplap, painting the cabinets a bright blue and adding some fun blue and white wallpaper on the opposing wall, infuse a coastal vibe to this space.

This mudroom in a modern farmhouse styled home is an excellent addition to any design. The added Vista Grande door with a full-lite allows for natural light to enter the room, and the pop of blue brings life into this space. Also, a similar baseboard to complete the simple design is a 1 eased edge craftsman base molding.

The mudroom has a side door so so muddy kids can enter and keep the mess contained. The wood panelled wall has tons of hooks for easy coat and bag storage to keep things organized. The large bench seat is flanked by built in storage shelves. The laundry area of the mudroom has additional open shelves for all of your laundry essentials and additional storage.

Function meets fashion in this relaxing retreat inspired by turn-of-the-century cottages. Perfect for a lot with limited space or a water view, this delightful design packs ample living into an open floor plan spread out on three levels. Elements of classic farmhouses and Craftsman-style bungalows can be seen in the updated exterior, which boasts shingles, porch columns, and decorative venting and windows. Inside, a covered front porch leads into an entry with a charming window seat and to the centrally located 17 by 12-foot kitchen. Nearby is an 11 by 15-foot dining and a picturesque outdoor patio. On the right side of the more than 1,500-square-foot main level is the 14 by 18-foot living room with a gas fireplace and access to the adjacent covered patio where you can enjoy the changing seasons. Also featured is a convenient mud room and laundry near the 700-square-foot garage, a large master suite and a handy home management center off the dining and living room. Upstairs, another approximately 1,400 square feet include two family bedrooms and baths, a 15 by 14-foot loft dedicated to music, and another area designed for crafts and sewing. Other hobbies and entertaining aren’t excluded in the lower level, where you can enjoy the billiards or games area, a large family room for relaxing, a guest bedroom, exercise area and bath.
