Mud Room: Make it as beautiful as functional

Your mud room floor should be ideally a dark grey-brown stone / tile in order to avoid seeing all the mud at first sight. Easy to clean and disinfect is a must for this area, as your family will carry the outside in through this space.

Make sure that your individual hanging space is big enough to hang at least a couple of coats, and that there is enough shoe space for 2 pairs (one clean and one dirty).
Have a big sink in the mudroom if that is possible (it will help you deeply having somewhere to wash up the dirt).

Choose the millwork color that goes best with the rest of your house. In order to select the millwork shape and finishes, I would recommend you to match it to your Pantry or Kitchen cabinet details.
If you are thinking about having a cushion or some pillows, please make sure that the covers have zippers, and that they are machine washable.

To select a finish for your paint on that area, make sure that it is glossy or semi-gloss so that you can wipe with a damp cloth anytime you need to.
