THE PERFECT MUDROOM - DESIGNER TIPS
Let’s dive right into it; why do I love entryways and mudrooms? They can make a big statement about your personality and how you live. It’s the first thing you see when entering your home so it’s going to set the overall feeling and experience, not only to you and your family, but also to your guests.
Everything that is in your entryway, including your mudroom furniture and entryway décor, is going to set the tone for your whole house. Use these entryway ideas as inspiration so that you can create the first impression that you desire.
ORGANIZE
A lot of the time, an entryway and mudroom is where things get dumped. Keys, bags, and jackets sometimes on the floor if you’re feeling really lazy. If there’s nowhere for you to place these things, all these objects tend to migrate to the living area and get misplaced. Which is why one of my top entryway design tips is to organize.
I don’t know how many times my partner has asked me if I’ve seen his wallet. I had to do something because it was driving me mad! We installed floating shelves placed right next to the door for our wallets, keys, etc. to land on. We also added a mirror to quickly check our look on the way out and a few hooks for our jackets. No matter the size of your entry way (in my case, small) there will always be an option to make the area more organized, functional and pretty.
Take a look at some of these entryway ideas below, and see how adding organizational elements to the design can create a great first impression.
