LAUNDRY ROOM + MUDROOM

Integrating a mudroom can be a great way to enhance your laundry room.  This multifunctional space can feature low, horizontal shelving, updated cabinetry, and more; offering more space and storage, creating a fashionable, yet functional room.

Ceramic tile is wise choice for a laundry room renovation.  It is durable and comes in a variety of colors and styles.  Because ceramic tile is both chemical and water resistant, it is easier to clean and maintain.  Stone is another strong option.  If you opt for stone, ensure that it is well sealed.  This will prevent etching and staining from laundry detergents and other items commonly found in a laundry room.

There are number of amenities available in a mudroom or laundry room.  Cubbies provide storage and comfort for changing shoes, storing sports equipment and school bags, and more.  Cabinetry and closets also make it easy to keep cleaning supplies, linens, and other items.  A sink and countertop can also offer useful space and convenience.  Lighting is another key consideration.  Whether you go with upgraded light fixtures for more efficiency, or a natural light option, both can drastically change the space.

A mudroom should be considered a location between the exterior of your home and the clean interior.  It should be located off of the kitchen or garage, and should be easily accessed from the most used entryway in your home.
