Top 9 Mudroom Design Ideas for a Utility Space Makeover

Mudrooms are a staple feature in most homes — an ideal spot to store necessities that you don’t want to keep in other parts of your house; a place to shake off waterproof jackets, remove muddy boots and dry off the dog after a bracing walk; and basically keep the outside from covering the rest of the home. We’ve rounded up the best mudroom ideas to transform your entryway!

If you desire a user-friendly and efficient space, a mudroom can be the key to an organized home. This mudroom is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, creating a charming and characterful interior! Our Arches Wooden Beige & Bardiglio Marble Tile beautifully complements the wooden storage cabinet and light fixture.

Remodeling this utility room into a space that’s organized, user-friendly, and flows with the rest of your interior requires a careful balance of practicalities and aesthetics. Below, we share a few mudroom design ideas that are sure to inspire as you plan and upgrade your home entryway into a new space.

Consider the main practicalities for your mudroom design

How is it possible to turn a room meant to corral dirty shoes, all your bulky outerwear, and pet accessories into a space that’s attractive and efficient? Rest assured doing so is possible. A well-designed mudroom can bring order to a messy environment and your daily schedule.

Your utility space can be both fabulous and functional, this decorative blue and white marble backsplash for the laundry room!

It might seem obvious, but the most common spot for a mudroom should be situated near the garage, a back entry that leads to the garden or next to the door where your family tends to enter and leave the house.

So, if you're working with a separate room or planning on reconfiguring your kitchen or a more useful and convenient place, it is vital that you think about the absolute basics before you move on to the “would like to haves”.

Select good flooring for heavy traffic

No place in your home will get as much foot traffic as a mudroom, so it’s wise to opt for practical flooring material that will withstand daily abuse. Porcelain floor tiles, for example, are extremely durable to stand up to the dirt, mud, and water that gets tracked in from outside. Aside from being incredibly resistant to moisture and stain, porcelain is relatively easy to clean and maintain.

Looking for a hardworking and durable floor, our Sand Valley & Thassos Star Mosaic Tile is the perfect pick. Plus the combination of Thassos white hues and beige Crystal Sand shades add a sophisticated touch that can complement white painted cabinets and blue appliances for a beautiful color scheme.

What’s more, many styles look like real wood and natural stone, giving you a look that you desire with the practicality of tile. An absorbent indoor/outdoor rug that can be easily cleaned should be placed near the entryway to catch water and dirt, as well as keep the floor from feeling too hard or cold.

Create cabinets with sufficient storage

A mudroom should be a user-friendly space; hence adequate storage to accommodate and safeguard items used for your daily commute, hobbies, pets or sports is a must. Having more storage than you think you might need keeps the room uncluttered and makes your home cleaner and safer.

In this modern farmhouse mudroom designed by Gerrard Builders, there is ample storage to keep things neat and organized. This stunning space follows the natural trend for wood and white decor with these sliding barn doors, taupe cabinet paint, and a crisp white ceramic subway tile backsplash that adds a zellige look shine!

To create a tailored mudroom with plenty of storage, consider a floor to ceiling wall unit with lots of cubbies, cabinets, and adjustable shelves for changing up as your family's needs change, a functional cabinet that slides out to reveal an organization system, pull out baskets and lidded boxes you can stack, as well as additional high and low-level hooks to hang wet jackets, hats and keep track of keys and dog leashes.

DIY Mudroom Updates that you can Easily Recreate

For an easy mudroom design update, a backsplash may be all you need to add visual interest to the scheme of things. Backsplashes not only protect the wall surface from damage, they can lend décor appeal that can instantly accentuate the look and feel of the entire space. The good news if you’re considering a quick mudroom makeover - adhesive tiles are here to save the day!

We love peel and stick tiles (adhesive-backed sheets featuring tile-like designs) for a finish that’s both functional and current. Remington Avenue used stunning marble hexagon peel and stick tiles to create her chic blue and white laundry room and prep area. Adhesive tiles are especially great if you aren’t ready to hire a professional tile setter but instead are considering a quick DIY solution.

This marble hexagon combo pairs our Peel and Stick marble wall tiles with larger Carrara hexagon tiles that are adhered to the floor with traditional thinset, creating a harmonious look for this country mudroom.

Add benches for comfortable seating

There are a variety of choices when it comes to mudroom seating. You want somewhere to lay your bags while unpacking the car or taking off your shoes so you don’t track mud or snow into the house. A typical low bench makes for the ideal seating and will save you plenty of floor space. This can be fitted in the corner or along the wall of the room and it should be comfortable enough to provide ease for putting on and taking off footwear, heavy coats, etc.

Here, a low bench has enough room beneath to store shoes or pull-out baskets to keep the room more organized. This design by JK Interior Living looks bright and airy. The marble look hexagon floor tiles are a beautiful contrast to the white bench and built in cubbies for storage.

Additionally, a low bench is also a useful landing zone for larger items to be brought inside such as groceries, sports equipment and other household tools. If you’re looking for more storage space that hides clutter out of sight, a bench with a lift-up lid or pullout drawers will save the day.

Create a sink and dog bathing station

If space permits, a mudroom should include a good-sized sink. A deep-basin sink is a brilliant feature and can serve a number of purposes including hand washing delicate garments, washing hands after working outside in the garden or garage, as well as quickly rinsing muddy boots as soon as you come in. Opt for one in a finish that’s easy to clean such as stainless steel, ceramic, or concrete.

Choose building materials that pull double duty, like this decorative wood look marble backsplash behind the laundry room sink - it protects your walls from water, detergent, and other splashes, while adding a creative detail to this cozy laundry room!

Installing a pet shower is an option that’s very useful for people who love their pets but want to prevent muddy paw prints on the floor. While many may prefer an outdoor shower, having a pet bathing station will ease your life tremendously during the winter season. Ideally, you may want to build a bathing station big enough to accommodate the size of your pet.

This sweet little dog station includes a cozy pet bed and puppy shower all in one! This is a great space to corral animals if you’re gone all day and need a secure space, where you can install pet-friendly floors that can stand up to claws, pet dishes, and potential accidents.

Just because it is functional doesn’t mean your dog bathing station has to be boring. Personalize the space exclusively for your pet by including a dog bed, a feeding station, toy storage, grooming equipment, leads and collars. This works really well if you have the luxury of space in your mudroom. A built-in dog bathing station will also benefit from a hardworking tile that’s water and stain resistant.

Ensure visual flow with transitional design

Being a transitional space, it makes good sense aesthetically that you create a seamless design feel between your mudroom and the room adjacent to it. Doing so will keep the mudroom from seeming like a separate structure and instead, make the room feel as part of a bigger space.

In this home designed by Bria Hammel Interiors, visual flow from one room to another is achieved through color and flooring.

A consistent color palette is a fantastic way to create visual connection between the mudroom and the rest of your house. This however does not suggest that you have to use the exact same color throughout. Consider choosing a common color then use a tone or two lighter or darker to keep the spaces distinct.

If you’re working with a compact space, particularly one that has a practical use, a light neutral color will help brighten up the interior. However, don’t shy away from making use of bolder colors to give the mudroom visual interest. A striking feature wall in a vibrant hue works pretty well with white or neutral furnishings.

Combine your mudroom with laundry

The mudroom and laundry room is a logical pairing that works well when dirty clothes frequently come-into the house. If you put the washing machine in the mudroom, it makes it easier to stop the kids from walking through the house in grubby clothes and you can easily toss soiled items directly into the wash.

Having enough space allows for a mudroom and laundry room combo. This Green Mixed Leaf Recycled Glass Mosaic Tile adds a striking feature that’s sure to catch anybody’s attention.

Install retractable drying racks on the wall, as well as shelves above the washer and dryer to create an organized spot for all your items without taking up precious floor or storage space.

It’s worth noting that a tiny mudroom will benefit from a neutral color scheme. This will visually expand the space and reflect the light better which helps if you’re looking to bring in your laundry appliances.

Choose the best mudroom lighting

A mudroom is a hard-working part of the house, and for this reason, a thoughtful lighting strategy goes a long way towards making this space work for you. In determining the right lighting design, it’s important to first consider where the mudroom is located, how the space will be used and what kind of decorative fixtures can be incorporated to create a welcoming ambience.

The right lighting design strategy sets the tone for the perfect ambience. Our black and white marble hexagon tiles beautifully complement the wooden storage cabinet and light fixture. A built-in bench in floor to ceiling cabinetry checks all the boxes for storage and seating!

Because this is a transitional room, you may want to set the right tone and make the space as inviting as possible. For this to take shape, you will still need to think about a layered lighting plan that includes ambient, task and accent lighting. Ambient lighting — also known as general lighting — should illuminate the entire space; and in most cases, it’s all that’s needed to adequately light up this area.

By including stylish wall sconces, you can enhance both the utility and the aesthetic of the mudroom. Utilize accent sources to offer your space a warm glow — and when strategically positioned, you can simply illuminate your favorite elements such as a statement piece of artwork or layered cushions on a bench.

Consider ventilation and heating for your entryway

As a transition space from the outdoors, your mudroom will be home to wet boots, coats, gardening tools, and possibly dogs… so good ventilation is imperative to keep the indoor air fresh and to prevent the growth of mildew and mold.

When it comes to heating, radiant heat in this area is a real bonus — it will keep family members comfortable, as well as help shoes, clothes (and dogs) dry quickly and efficiently. An exhaust fan that’s vented outdoors is ideal, and dehumidifiers will help keep the room from smelling dank.

Marble tiles, like this two-tone hexagon tile with a combo of Carrara and Wooden Beige marble, are great conductors of heat! This white and tan mudroom and laundry space is compact, efficient, and minimalist, making it perfect to easily vent and heat!

What are your favorite options to upgrade your mudroom? Whether you’re looking for the perfect cabinet paint color to pair with your floors, a stunning storage space to declutter your countertops, or a gorgeous tile to protect your floors and walls while add a stylish statement, you’ve come to the right place to find mudroom makeover ideas!

Hallway Planner

The program for designing a hallway greatly simplifies this task thanks to a well-thought-out interface in Russian. Most of the expensive professional software is extremely difficult to master, but Interior Design 3D allows you to understand the features of creating a room project in a few minutes and make a realistic layout with decoration and furniture.

Contents of the article:

Hall planner in the program

Interior Design 3D - Video instruction

After watching the video tutorial, you can make sure that the designer is equipped with convenient and clear tools. Even a novice user can quickly get used to and design the interior design of the hallway.

Functions of the hallway interior design software

The software offers you the following possibilities for modeling:

✔ Set any size and shape of rooms, which is especially useful if you are working on a room with non-standard parameters;
✔ Install door and window openings, partitions, columns, choosing their appearance from the built-in library;
✔ Customize floor, wall and ceiling materials. You can use textures from the catalog or upload your own images;

Things to consider when designing an interior design

hallway

In order to get a successful layout of the room the first time, it is important to pay attention to the following design features of hallways in the editor.

1. In the editor, you need to draw each room separately, that is, you should not first draw the entire area of the apartment, and then divide it into rooms. Arrange rooms, kitchen, bathroom and hallway as independent objects to be able to choose your finishes in each room.
2. Finishing materials should be those that, if necessary, can be washed and cleaned without damage. For example, it makes sense to choose tiles for the floor, then, even if you leave very damp shoes at the entrance, it will not spoil the coating. Walls can be painted or washable wallpaper.
3. Special hall furniture can be found in the corresponding section of the built-in catalogue. If you decide on some atypical design options, for example, install a sofa and TV in a spacious corridor or put up bookshelves, look for furniture in other sections.

How to use the hallway planning program:

✓ Step 1. Create a room

Launch the editor and open the menu item "Create project" .

Create a new project

Choose one of two options - you can draw a diagram manually from scratch or upload a scanned image with a finished layout. Click on the desired option to go directly to the work on the project.

Select drawing mode

When loading a file with a scheme, the hallway planner will automatically process the drawing by overlaying the image on the workspace. Based on it, you can easily create an accurate layout of the room with a basic finish.

When drawing the plan manually, select item "Draw a room" in the editor and draw an exact scheme of the room on the two-dimensional grid located in the upper part of the window. To designate the corners, click the left mouse button in their locations.

If the apartment has a typical layout, and you want to work on the design of the entire dwelling, select the item "Typical layouts" at the start. It presents ready-made templates for serial apartments with 1-4 rooms.

Choose your layout

Place doors and openings on the plan, as well as windows (if any). This can be done using functions "Add door" and "Add window" . Select the appropriate option from the built-in collection and place it on the 2D plan.

Add a door to the project

After creating a new entryway in the editor, pay attention to the choice of finishes. To open the materials catalog, click on the gray center of the room in the 2D layout (this will highlight its outlines in green), then go to the tab "Properties" .

In the right panel you will see the finishing options divided into 4 tabs. Section "Miscellaneous" is responsible for displaying skirting boards, ceiling and area of the room, and in the rest there are settings for materials for walls, floor and ceiling.

Select Finishing Materials

Follow these steps to decorate your hallway:

✓ Click on the folder icon next to the texture image, you will see a catalog of colors and materials with hundreds of options.
✓ To select the wallpaper, paint or tile you are interested in, select the desired preset with the mouse and click the Apply button .
✓ Adjust the image display scale by simply changing the position of the slider.

Select materials according to your taste

If you did not find a suitable texture in the planner's assortment, load your version into the program. To do this, press the button "Add your own materials" and find the desired file on your PC (pictures downloaded from the Internet or photos taken in the store). You will find the uploaded image in the category "My Materials" and you can freely use it in your design along with the built-in textures.

Add your own finishing materials

✓ Step 4. Arrange furniture in the hallway

Click on the button "Add furniture" to go to the catalog of 3D models. In section "Hallway" you will find the interior items needed to furnish this room. Look in category "Miscellaneous" , there you will find various details, such as paintings, frames, switches and sockets.

Select pieces of furniture

To place furniture, select the model in the list, click "Add to Scene" and move the object to the desired point. If necessary, you can expand the object in space. To do this, simply drag the mouse over the yellow circle that appears when you click on an item.

For example, when planning to order a closet in the hallway, you can develop the design of your unique closet, choose its interior and find out how much it will cost. If the cost does not suit you, you yourself determine which parts can be replaced with a more economical option, and which can be abandoned without compromising the ergonomics of the design.

How the furniture designer works

In order to calculate, for example, a wardrobe, the furniture designer offers you to choose the color of the furniture. Then you set the required overall dimensions (width, height and depth) and select the doors on which you want to install the mirror. The furniture designer suggests installing inter-door brushes that protect the contents of the cabinet from dust.

An important step is the choice of cabinet filling. It largely depends on him whether the furniture will be comfortable, ergonomic and roomy. The furniture designer offers a basic set and several filling options.

You can add additional elements to the structure - cabinet, hanger, corner terminal, etc. A very convenient element is the built-in cabinet lighting or “Lux” lighting, which makes it easy to find the necessary thing or object even in a dark room.

Loading... The appearance of the hallway plays an important role for the interior of the apartment as a whole. The layouts in most apartment buildings are such that it is she who is the link between the various rooms in the apartment. Therefore, the design chosen for the hallway should be preserved in the rest of the rooms.

The entrance zone plays the role of a kind of "visiting card". It is she who creates the first impression about the interior of the apartment as a whole, as well as about its owner. Psychologists say that the appearance of our home can tell a lot of interesting things about us.

Interior design of a classic hallway in apartment

So the owners of interiors created on the basis of symmetry (arrangement of furniture, arrangement of accessories, etc. ) tend to make decisions based on logic and common sense. While supporters of chaotic furniture are credited with developed intuition.

Design of a symmetrical hallway in apartment

We all know that changing a first opinion is hard enough. Therefore, in order to make a good impression, the majority pays special attention to the design of the hallway. Do not get carried away only with the external side of the issue. The entrance hall is not only the "face" of the apartment, but also a daily used living area. Therefore, everything in it should be comfortable and rational.

Hallway interior design in dark colors

Chandeliers
Point spots
LED Strips
Wall sconces

And so, let's start creating the interior of the hallway in the apartment. First you need to decide on the style that you would like to see in your home. The main selection criteria will be your personal preferences and features of the configuration of the room.

Classic hallway interior design

A small hallway of complex shape is perfect for a minimalist interior. The classic direction is best left for a spacious hall. Equally well in a room of any size will look modern, pop art, Scandinavian style, hi-tech or a loft at the height of fashion. Photo examples from the Mr.Doors electronic catalog will help you make the right choice.

After making the final decision, it is necessary to draw up a detailed plan of the premises, consider the arrangement of furniture, the location of all necessary communications (TV antennas, Internet cables, sockets, etc.). Consult with experts. Experienced Designers Mr. Doors will be happy to answer all your questions, tell you about dimensional restrictions and advise the most rational solutions.

Hallway design with wardrobe

When the plan of your hallway is approved, you should pay attention to the possible design options for the walls, floor and ceiling. Let's start with the largest surface. For wall decoration in the hallway, you should pay attention to resistant and well-cleaned materials. Consider the most popular options:

Wallpapers

Wallpaper is one of the most common materials for wall decoration in almost any room. The variety of their colors and decors is truly endless. There are several types on the modern market: paper, vinyl, non-woven and fiberglass. It is better to exclude the paper version from the wall decoration in the hallway, as it is not washable. Non-woven and vinyl wallpapers can be cleaned with detergents. However, if you have pets, claw marks will be clearly visible. The most successful option for the hallway will be fiberglass-based wallpaper. They are highly durable and easy to clean.

Decorative plaster

Like wallpaper, decorative plaster is divided into several types: textured, textured and Venetian. They differ primarily in the composition of the paste and decorative effects. The undoubted advantage of such a coating is its durability, environmental friendliness and the ability to create a seamless coating. The disadvantages include the cost above average and the need to attract professionals for application.

Wooden panels

Lining of various shapes can serve as an excellent addition to Provence and Country styles. Figured solid wood panels emphasize the classic style. Wood trim has a number of undeniable advantages. This is an environmentally friendly material with a unique pattern and texture. However, the tree requires quite labor-intensive care, compliance with humidity and temperature conditions. It also easily leaves traces of the claws of pets.

Plug

Cork coating is quite common for wall decor in the hallway. This material is durable. It also provides additional sound insulation, which is very in demand in apartment buildings. At the same time, cork flooring is completely unacceptable for an apartment where there is a pet. The soft structure of the finishing material is easily deformable.

Design of a hallway in a country house

The best flooring in the hallway will be porcelain stoneware. It is durable and perfectly tolerates wet cleaning with cleaning products. Another plus, in comparison with ceramic tiles, is the inconspicuousness of scratches and chips. What is due to production technology. Porcelain stoneware has a uniform color throughout the entire thickness of the material.

Beige hallway interior design

When choosing a tile, you should pay attention not only to its material and color, but also to the shape. For a small room, it is better to choose small square fragments. A spacious hall will look more advantageous with large tiles on the floor. Diagonal laying of rectangular elements will help improve the geometry of a narrow corridor.

Orange hallway interior in apartment

Finishing the ceiling in the hallway depends on the following factors:

Material and quality of floors
Height to ceiling
Room shape

When choosing a finish for the ceiling, first of all, you need to pay attention to the quality of the existing ceilings. When you have a fairly even monolithic surface in front of you, you can safely use the most budgetary options: whitewashing or painting. If the ceiling of your home consists of separate slabs, give preference to more complex structures. A false ceiling will help hide joints that crack and crumble over time.

Design of a spacious hall with a hallway

For a hallway of small height, you can use a glossy stretch ceiling. It will visually stretch the room and make it more spacious. A two-tier frame ceiling with plasterboard sheathing, complemented by LED lighting, will also lift the vaults of the room. However, a structure that is too massive with a large number of tiers and bright colors can make the ceiling heavier and create an oppressive feeling. Be careful in this matter and do not overdo it!

The main thing - do not forget about the lack of natural light, which means that even in a large area, do not get carried away with dark colors. For small spaces, light colors are perfect, slightly complemented by bright accents. It can be a non-standard piece of furniture in a catchy color or a wall decoration imitating brickwork.

However, the reality is that it is often impossible to fit all these things into the interior of the hallway in the apartment. Built-in pieces of furniture, which include several functions at once, will help to use the space as rationally as possible.

An open hanger for wet things can be placed behind a swivel mirror or be a decorative panel with hooks. Placing them directly on the wall is not recommended.

The wall panel will protect the wall decoration, and with a bright decor, it will favorably emphasize a single style.
