Mudroom Ideas That Are Functional & Inviting

Magnificent Mudrooms You’ll Love

If you want to add more organization and functionality to your home, a mudroom might be just what you need. Like an entryway, a mudroom is a transitional space between the outside and inside of your home, though a mudroom is typically connected to a side or back door rather than the front. 

Specifically meant to help keep your house clean when you come in from the rain and might track in (you guessed it) mud, a mudroom can really come in handy if you live somewhere that with a rainy season or have children or pets. But these spaces typically have tons of storage and are so versatile.

So whether you need a special entrance for messy family members or more storage for outdoor gear and extra coats, a mudroom is the answer. Below, we’ve curated a stunning collection of mudroom ideas, so scroll down to get inspired!

bright & minimal

get the look:

Cool-toned neutrals create a beautiful, airy aesthetic, and we love the shiplap here, adding depth to a minimalist space. Between a top shelf, basket storage, and coat hooks, this mudroom has a place for everything.

for the full family

get the look:

If you have pets and kids, extra storage is a must. We recommend creating separate cubby spaces for each family member, where they can easily stash their essentials away and find them when needed.

crisp coastal

get the look:

Tall ivory cabinets offer plenty of storage but are also perfect for a clean, crisp, coastal look. Pair this with blue striped wallpaper, woven raffia pieces, and beach-inspired wall art for a unique and beautiful mudroom.

the basket system

get the look:

Soft and warm-toned neutrals paired with a simple layout are perfect for a calming vibe when you enter your home. Under-the-bench baskets have enough room for shoes, umbrellas, and bags yet keep the space clean and clutter-free.

dreamy decor

get the look:

Whimsical earthy shades, scalloped lamps, antique art, and florals create a dreamy mudroom we’re obsessed with. This is a perfect example of infusing personal style into functional spaces.

chic modern

get the look:

This clean, beautiful mudroom has a modern look that’s simple yet charming. We love the drawers underneath the bench, providing a unique solution for storing smaller items in this mudroom.

simple & small

get the look:

If you only have a corner of your home to work with, opt for a hutch-style mudroom featuring pull-out drawers, upper shelves, and stylish coat hooks. Add simple decor for effortless style without cluttering the area.

Built-in mudroom

get the look:

A built-in cubby is an ideal spot for a mudroom. The rug is stylish and can help with wet shoes while the basket in the corner is perfect for stashing extra items.

parisian flair

get the look:

Elegantly designed cabinets (or “lockers” for each person), gold hardware, blue floor tiles, and vintage vases overflowing with fresh flowers create a Parisian-inspired space that we’re just a little bit jealous of!

hidden essentials

While we love the look of woven baskets and open shelves, cabinet doors paired with wooden drawers are perfect for keeping your everyday essentials and extra items stored neatly out of sight.

pastels & florals

get the look:

We recommend adding pastel tones to the room for a colorful space that’s bright and beautiful. This paint, coupled with stone flooring and fresh flowers, has a romantic aesthetic we adore.

an all-purpose space

Combine your laundry room and mudroom for an all-purpose space that makes life so much easier! We also love the small washroom to the side, and we think this setup is absolutely perfect for families.

the mini mudroom

A narrow entryway can easily be transformed into a stylish mini mudroom. Muted green paint, combined with rustic accents and a shiplap wall, create a country-inspired space that will keep a small area organized.

checkerboard & wood beams

get the look:

Checkerboard flooring is one of our favorite ways to infuse style into a black-and-white space. Combined with wooden ceiling beams, this room has a chic, neutral aesthetic with pops of warm, natural beauty.

the catch-all spot

get the look:

This mudroom has space for all of your essentials, but we love the addition of drawers and a large bowl to catch any extra items that make their way into your home, keeping the space and your home tidy day after day!

full of warmth

get the look:

We love the monochromatic aesthetic of this mudroom, filling the space with warm and welcoming vibes. We suggest pairing unique and beautiful Moroccan-inspired floor tiling with a simple mudroom design for a beautiful space that’s not too busy.

country-inspired

get the look:

We love the warm grey wall paint; it’s perfect for a neutral space that still feels inviting and homey. Elegant gold wall hooks and hardware elevate the space while the shiplap, gorgeous flooring, and foliage add country charm.
