How to Design the Best Mudroom for Your Home With Custom Cabinets

If there’s one thing every mudroom needs, it’s storage. After all, mudrooms are meant to keep coats, backpacks, and other items from being dumped all over the house. Incorporating functional storage solutions is essential to designing the best mudroom for your home. Custom mudroom cabinets can help you do just that.

Why Use Custom Cabinets in Your Mudroom Design?

There’s no shortage of options when it comes to finding mudroom cabinets. From pre-fabricated cabinets to their custom counterpart, there’s a solution to fit almost anyone’s budget. Custom cabinets sit at a higher price point, but they’re worth the investment.

With custom cabinetry, you get:

Professional craftsmanship that’s built to last
Cabinets designed to fit your space
Unlimited design options to choose from

Custom cabinetry allows you to design a mudroom that reflects your household’s unique needs. It also lets you make the most of the space, whether you’re working within an existing footprint or starting from scratch.

Mudroom Cabinet Design Ideas

Your mudroom is one of the hardest working rooms in your home. Making sure it’s properly outfitted is a must. Taking stock of how you intend to use the space and what you’ll store there will make it easier to create the best mudroom design for your home.

Here are some things to consider:

Is the mudroom the main entrance to your home?
Do you need space to store your kid’s sports equipment?
Will the mudroom serve multiple purposes, such as extra pantry space or a laundry room?
What items (wallet, keys, bags, etc.) do family members typically take with them when leaving the house?

This thoughtful approach will influence the overall design of the mudroom, including what kind of storage you need and the way your mudroom cabinets will look. Below are some popular types of mudroom storage to consider.

Lockers and Oversized Cabinets

Lockers and oversized cabinets are the ideal storage solution for busy families. Keep bulky outerwear, kids’ sports equipment, and more out of sight and in their rightful place by assigning a locker to each family member.

Cubbies

Short or tall, up top or down below; cubbies are one of the most versatile mudroom storage options. Customize them according to your needs with extra design elements like outlets for charging electronics or baskets for a clutter-free way to store small items.

Built-In Bench Storage

Take your typical bench to the next level with built-in storage. Incorporate cubbies or drawers under the bench seat to conceal items. You can also add hooks above the bench to hold coats, bags, and umbrellas.

Pull-Out Drawers

Drawers are always a wonderful option for mudroom storage, but we’re not just talking about your standard drawer. Adding pull-out drawers inside mudroom cabinets makes it easy to maximize storage space. You can easily take advantage of the entire cabinet without the hassle of removing items to find what you need.

If you choose to go the custom route, it’s critical to work with a qualified cabinet company. Don’t be afraid to shop around to find an experienced company with a proven track record. Reading reviews from recent customers and asking for recommendations will help with your search.
