Efficient Mudroom Makeover Concepts
In the spirit of getting organized, let's take a peek at how one homeowner has transformed their small mudroom, located inside the garage and serving as the first point of entry into the house. This transformation is part of Kirkland's Resolve to Organize campaign, and the author has teamed up with the brand to share some of her favourite ways to get organized.
The biggest challenge in the mudroom was keeping jackets, hats, and gloves in check. To solve this, metal hooks were hung for quick and easy jacket hanging, and a versatile cottage stool was introduced to serve as a place for people to take off and put on shoes.
Seating in the mudroom is a game-changer, eliminating the need to carry shoes all over the house. A wooden sign was added as a decorative piece and a wonderful reminder, while a 35-inch tall posable scarecrow craft adds a touch of autumn charm.
The favourite addition to the small mudroom is a chalkboard 3-drawer chest. Each drawer provides a place for a kid to store their smaller winter gear items, eliminating the problem of items being kicked all around the house.
For those looking for more organization ideas, The Turquoise Home and The Creativity Exchange are great resources. The author used 3 vintage black distressed picture frames and cork tiles from Kirkland's for a key decoration project. The vintage distressed black picture frames hold keys, while the cork tiles help keep the kitchen and entry space clean and organized.
The design for the window display in Kirkland's store for small mudroom organization was created by designer Jane Smith. Overall, these organization solutions have made a significant difference in keeping the area tidy, especially during the winter months when it tends to accumulate piles of junk due to activities like shoveling snow and putting on and off snow boots, hats, and gloves.
So, why not check out what other friends are doing to get organized? With a little inspiration and some practical solutions, you too can transform your mudroom into a functional and welcoming space.
