March & April Are Coming – Is Your Mudroom Ready for Muddy Shoes?

If you’re lucky enough to have a mudroom in your home, you already have an ideal space for the family to keep accessories and necessities. That typically includes shoes, coats, school bags, and virtually anything else they frequently take in and out of the home.

But is your mudroom built to handle every season? As we head into spring, we approach those slushy and rainy months that remind us why we call it a “mudroom.” This post will cover the ways storage experts can optimize your mudroom to keep it spotless.

Create a Designated Entryway Shoe Storage

Add dedicated shoe storage and a mudroom bench can help to encourage guests and family members to take off their shoes comfortably as soon as they walk inside the home. Cubbies under a mudroom bench work well for storing dry shoes out of the way. You want to be sure to add enough cubbies for each family member to have their own designed space, plus a few guests.

Set boots and shoes on your hardwood floors just inside the door, and before you know it, there will be a puddle of dirty snow or rainwater that will spread until you clean it up. So instead, you should use a shallow rubber or plastic tray to keep wet boots and shoes until they are dry.

Customize Storage for Winter Gear

Baskets and big bins in the mudroom can help you store away hates, gloves, and other accessories for easy access on the way in and out the door. Wire racks and heavy-duty hooks also work well for storing winter coats, jackets, and gear. Harkraft uses Rubbermaid wire racks and laminated wood shelving for durable and high-quality storage solutions.

With so many storage options at your disposal, finding the best choice for your unique needs can be challenging. And that’s where the Harkraft team shines. It doesn’t matter the size of the project; Harkaft will help work with you to review the options and choose the perfect solution for your home with a free consultation and estimate.

Once you know what storage options you want to customize, we will create your product to come together with your space – while making delivery and installation east. The result will bring less clutter, less mess, and a more accessible mudroom.

Coats and Backpacks

Give everyone in the home their place for hanging their coat and bags. If you are tired of bags and coats piling up on the floor, do your best to get your family to use these hooks in place, as well as mudroom bench storage options for everyone. This keeps the mudroom clean and helps to make it easier for the whole family to find their belongings when heading out the door. 

The mudroom storage units that we offer at Harkraft will be perfect for keeping clutter off your floor while maintaining an organized, tidy space. These mudroom storage solutions are just the thing for holding coats, shoes, and umbrellas. 

Use Outdoor Fabrics

Mudrooms are hot spots for mold and moisture because of temperature fluctuations and people constantly going in and out. Protect the furniture by choosing weather-resistant pillows, banquette cushions, and upholstery.

Harkraft’s custom-crafted wood cabinets are strong, stylish, and always built to last. What makes them ideal for most storage needs is sleek and durable. So whether you need to organize shoes, hats, or backpacks, laminated wood cabinets are an excellent choice for your mudroom bend needs.
