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.

A pair of handsome custom storm doors by Cabinetry & Construction, Inc. replaced metal security doors. The storm doors allow the owners the option of leaving the main door open to allow light to flood the foyer and hallway. A new marble mosaic borer by polished absolute black granite was installed by JHI Tile.

'Empty-nesters' restructured their home to better accommodate their new lifestyle. The laundry room (off the garage) was relocated to a portion of an upstairs bedroom. This former laundry area became a welcoming and functional mudroom as they enter the house from the garage. A new kitchen island reflects this mudroom with the same Executive Cabinetry and Cambria countertops. Upstairs, a 'his' master closet was created in the remaining part of the bedroom (turned laundry). The master bathroom was completely renovated to replace the never-used corner tub with a steam shower (including rain head). Natural light floods the space via both glass block (in the steam shower) and the Solar Tube skylight. Melanie Hartwig-Davis (sustainable architect) of HD Squared Architects, LLC.
