Published: November 24, 2020

Is your mudroom a mess, do your kids come in after school and just drop their belongings on the floor and walk away, are you looking to make your mudroom more efficient and less cluttered and even add some style? Mudroom storage is perfect in all of these situations and can be key when it comes to keeping your home organized. The best part is you don't even need an actual mudroom for these storage units to work for you.

Organize by Decluttering

The first step in any organization project is to declutter, this is especially important in your mudroom which is almost always the dumping ground for everything that comes into your home. The very first step in decluttering your mudroom is deciding what should and shouldn't be there, think of things you regularly enter and leave the house with. Items like shoes, coats, any seasonal items like gloves or hats, backpacks and work bags, keys, and if this entrance is near the mail box you may want a mail sorter to catch all the paper items coming in.

Mudroom Storage Ideas

When it comes to mudroom storage and organization you have several ideas to choose from, you can go from a simple bench with or without storage to a full blown system consisting of benches, coat hangers, storage cabinets and cubbies. When it comes to coats and bags hooks and shelves work best to keep these items off of the floor. Cubbies and shelving can be used to store shoes, boots and other items such as gloves and scarves out of the way. When it comes to choosing to cubbies or cabinets you need to ask yourself do you want things hidden completely out of site, do you want to be able to see things or have visible storage in the cubbies. This is all comes down to a matter of personal design choice and what best fits your needs.

Predesigned or Piece by Piece

When it comes to outfitting your mudroom you can either piece together individual pieces and hope they not only match but fit together nicely or you can look into prebuilt storage systems.
