While you don't see a laundry area in this picture, you can imagine one across from the sink. I like the brown textured rug that would hide dirt and hold up to heavy traffic, as well as the dark color on the walls and built-ins that wouldn't look dirty after a single use.
This entry ha a laundry, a sink and a free-standing cupboard--is that for shoes? I would like to add a place to sit down and a place to hang coats and bags, but I love all the windows and how bright this room is.
I like how DIY-friendly the above space is. Wood counters, farm-style sink, hooks on the wall... Again, a place to sit would be great, as well as a washer and dryer. I could never get away with such a billowy, white sink skirt either--it would get pulled on a grimy from little hands!
I love this laundry with the mix of wood finishes and elements that would add to its durability, like the tile floor. I'm sure there's a perfect bench with hooks and storage on another wall, right?
Here is a great laundry and mudroom combination that is easy on space and the budget. The shoe storage cubby rolls out to make a bench! All you need here is a sink! (And maybe a little more closed storage for out-of-season items!)
This entry is another that doesn't take lots of space. The hooks on the wall would make a place for the whole family to hang coats and bags, while the tray below is perfect for wet or muddy shoes. You see a glimpse of a sink in the foreground which makes me wonder if there's a laundry nearby.
I like the tile floor in this mudroom with adjacent laundry room! The storage in the laundry room would be great for mudroom gear as well as laundry supplies. I would add bins or baskets under the bench.
Nevermind that this perfect space would take up half of my house! It has all of the elements I was looking for--bench, shoe and coat storage, baskets, utilitarian floor, sink, washer & dryer, closed storage, windows... Well done!
This mudroom takes closed storage to a new level! I would love to have a space like this, even on a smaller scale. Maybe one of the closets could be exchanged for a washer and dryer, right?
This built-in storage unit is pretty enough to be in a high-traffic area, like near a main entry instead of off the garage or back door. I appreciate the warm wood tone instead of painted white--white just doesn't stay clean enough for me, not to mention my mud-covered boys!
I just about gave this pin the boot because it doesn't include most of the elements in my quest. However, I think it's a great mudroom sink and floor. Perhaps the other walls not pictured include closets, a bench and hooks as well as a washer and dryer, right?
Now we're talking! A mini shower! I love the idea, but I would want something that made hand-washing a little easier too. I like the storage baskets and hooks as well. I know that beautiful floor would be constantly wet in my house, so as much as I like it, it would have to go.
I like this sink and faucet, only put a kid in the sink instead of the dog. (Wouldn't a wet dog be prone to shaking and getting mud/fur/soap/gunk all over those pretty white walls?)
What do you look for in a mudroom? Do you have one? Leave me a link so I can check it out!
I would put my kids in the sink too! I swear my three year old son brings home an entire playground's worth of sand everyday:) I would want an easy-to-clean floor, 2 washers and dryers, a million hooks and cubbies, and a wall of storage.

Beautiful examples! A mud room is something I didn't manage to fit in our house, and I always love them. Our front entry seems to double as our mud room, and that's definitely not my dream scenario!
ReplyDeleteWhat a incredible idea! :)
