Make the Most of Your Mudroom and Entryway

Turn an under-utilized entry area into a super-functional mudroom with these ideas for efficient storage and organization.

Simple Setup

Using all components of a mudroom, this setup assigns space to everything you need in a drop-off and pickup spot. Shoes shuffle into floor-level compartments, and small items take their place in cabinet drawers. Wall hooks make places to hang coats and bulkier items, and the overhead compartments give homes to any stray belongings, such as mittens and hats in winter, and sunscreen and sunglasses in summer.
