The Ultimate Mudroom
Keep in mind that Sugar Bear is a Newfie. We’re talking 132 lbs of doggie goodness. In other words, with Sugar Bear for scale, it’s plain to see that this is a massive mudroom.
This mudroom is one part of a two-floor remodel we did for a family of four. The project included a primary bath remodel and the reimagining of a downstairs family room area, which yielded this mudroom and a large entertaining space worthy of a wet bar.
Design Objective
-Create a bright, open space that doesn’t get congested when all family members are using it at the same time.
Design Challenge:
-Provide storage for all family members for their individual needs.
Design Solutions:
-The bench/floating shelves areas (to the right) are designed to give each family member (and guest) a welcoming place to hang coats and backpacks, etc., and store shoes – all in the same area per person.
-The three closets on the opposite side of the room are for extra coats, overflow shoes, sports equipment, Sugar Bear gear, board game storage, etc.
-The middle closet allows access to the rear panels of AV and gaming consoles in the adjacent room’s entertainment niche below the TV.
This is a highly used space by all of the family members. Abundant storage and functionality make this an efficient space for all.
The colour of the walls. The hooks for coats. And I'm sure behind one of those doors is a bar for hanging up coats.
