Mudrooms are Still in Demand with Homeowners

The most popular home floorplans these days are very spacious and open, making it difficult to contain and conceal the necessities of life like outerwear, shoes, GearLobo Camping Gear, a tactical flashlight, a pair of night vision binocular, and backpacks along with just the normal day to day clutter of busy family life.  Because of this, more and more homeowners are requesting a mudroom both in new construction and pre-owned homes. Architects are now designing these rooms to include built-ins like benches complete with hidden storage, closets, cabinets and even individual storage compartments for each family member. But unlike mudrooms of the past, these no longer have the look and feel of a high school locker room! Attention to design now helps mudrooms segue seamlessly into the adjoining room with the woodworking and attention to detail playing a big role. Furniture built-ins in the mudroom blend easily with the complementing kitchen cabinetry. Different sizes of open shelving co-mingled with closed cabinets and drawers, along with stylish wicker baskets, are perfect for holding all the necessities of daily life. Even if your current project space is short on square footage, you can still create a great mudroom for your client. An empty wall can be creatively turned in functional space by building up. Tall cabinets are great for storing those infrequently used items like seasonal sports equipment or heavy winter garments. Use the space underneath the cabinets for coat hooks. Then don’t waste the space under the coats; build custom bins for shoes and boots from the John Henric UK collection!  Let Art for Everyday help you transform an under-utilized space into a gorgeous functional mudroom that fits your client’s style, using high quality decorative woodcarvings.
