Getting organized can make any space in your home feel so much bigger and open. This is especially true for an entry space or mudroom, where there is constant foot traffic and items like coats and shoes being flung about. Built-ins are an excellent way to not only organize your entry but maximize the space as well.
Built-ins can include several elements like a seating bench, cabinets, open-faced cabinets, shelves, drawers, etc. In the collection of mudroom built-ins we have found below, you’ll see examples of all of these features in different arrangements. They make use of much of the vertical space in a mudroom, so as to open up and declutter the center of the room and keep items off to the side and out of sight. Many of these are easy to add to an existing space too. Just go with some metal or wire coat hooks, a floating or wooden bench, storage baskets, and floating shelves or cabinets. Then you can play around with some fun decor like a shiplap accent wall, board and batten, wallpaper, paints, stencils, and more!
For some inspiration on varying layouts and mudroom built-in decor styles check out our collection of designs below!
