As we transition from summer to school activities, it’s tough knowing just how your home will fare. Before your school routine is full-swing, consider an organizational sweep of your mudroom. We promise an overhaul of this pivotal space will yield lasting results that not only will help you survive the school year but will carry you through the annual cycle of changing seasons and schedules.
1. Baskets with Customizable Labels
An aesthetically pleasing way to stay organized, baskets and mudrooms make the perfect match. But what’s even better? Baskets with customizable labels that allow organization specifically suited to the season. Sunscreen, swimming goggles, bathing suits, and beach towels?  Or now that school has started, athletic gear, school supplies, and jackets.
2. Storage Solutions
Custom storage solutions in a mudroom make a world of difference, and with flexible track and rail systems like those offered by Rubbermaid, shelving or storage space can be custom-suited to your needs and adjusted when needed. Conceal coats, shoes, sports equipment, bags, and backpacks all behind beautiful cabinetry.
3. Hooks
The simple, yet essential accessory that’s a mudroom must-have. Classic or creative, stand-alone or wall-mounted, the style options are seemingly endless.
4. Flooring
This highly-trafficked space requires durability you can depend on. Hardwood look-alikes, like this beautiful laminate floor, are a match made in mudroom heaven. Requiring little maintenance, today’s laminate is uniquely constructed to stand up to all life has to throw at it, all while offering lasting beauty.
5. Finishing Touch
An entry essential, welcome mats are an important element in your mudroom’s décor. Not only do they make an inviting first impression on those entering your home, but they provide extra protection for your flooring.
