Instantly Upgrade Your Mudroom
The original purpose of a mudroom was to ensure that the dirt and grime of the outdoors never made it inside your home where visitors could see it. Now, the modern mudroom is often the first thing your guests see as more formal entries are shunned in favor of the casual entrance to the house. As a result, these functional rooms are now gaining the attention of homeowners and designers alike.
If your mudroom could use some sprucing up, here are 4 ways to instantly upgrade your space.
Change the Entrance
Give that that old dull door for a fresh cheery color to instantly change the mood of the room. Adding, or subtracting, window treatments to bring in natural light makes the space warm and inviting.
Fresh Paint
Almost every article about updating your home’s look includes new paint for a reason; paint instantly changes the look and feel of a space. Merging bright wall colors with clean white moulding and other accents creates visual interest.
Update Your Fixtures
From lighting to doorknobs and hooks, upgrade those functional fixtures with contemporary styles. Double check that the room has adequate lighting which also complements your design aesthetic.
Rethink the Storage
Does your mudroom have adequate storage for your needs? A storage bench is a great addition which adds extra space, as well as a place to sit while you remove your bulky or soaked coats and shoes. It’s also a great place to keep the pet leashes and treats.
Mudrooms are often dirty, damp repositories for the mess which isn’t appropriate for the main house, but there is no reason it can’t be functional and beautiful. By making a few simple changes, you can transform your mudroom and welcome your family and visitors through a fresh space.
