Entry With Hooks And Storage

Entry with Hooks and Storage

Over the years, we have designed many mudrooms.  Sometimes they are designed as a room dedicated to getting mud off of kids, pets, and everyone coming into the side door of the home.  Other times they serve light duty as entries with coat hooks and a place to sit and take off or put on shoes.

In the design of these mudrooms, we try to make them bright, comfortable, and above all functional.  In one home the entry/mudroom is off a paved path, and in another house you step right out of the garden and the first room you meet is the mudroom.  The key is to understand  how the owners plan to use these rooms and their relationship to the exterior and the rest of the house.

    I love the first two mudrooms and we are using them as inspiration for our new home. Where did you get the light fixtures in the 2nd and last picture?

    Can you tell me the dimensions of the mudroom with the sunflower fabric.

  12. […] Of course, if you have more of a vintage, cottage-style home then this mudroom will tug at your heartstrings. A bench covered in sunflower prints and pillows, it’s quite the swoon-worthy treat. Check out more inspiration over at On the Drawing Board. […]
