A well-designed mudroom entry can make all the difference between calm comings and goings and a daily scramble for shoes and keys. These seven newly remodeled spaces show how smart storage — from cubbies and cabinets to benches and bins — can keep clutter at bay while adding warmth, color and style to a home’s first impression.

Homeowners’ request. “This client’s household includes two active children involved in different sports, creating a need for a centralized organization system to manage their equipment and daily family essentials,” designer Betsy Bassett says. “As dog owners, they also needed space for pet-related items like leashes and accessories.”
Mudroom storage features. “We designed a comprehensive solution featuring a bench with integrated hooks to organize coats, jackets, leashes and backpacks, complemented by accessible shoe storage suited for children’s independent use,” Bassett says. “The opposite wall provides closed storage cabinets dedicated to off-season outerwear for all family members, maximizing the mudroom’s functionality while maintaining a clean aesthetic.” The built-ins are painted Ebony King by Benjamin Moore. The bench is oak. The flooring is porcelain tile.
