Since its primary function is to store dirty items, essentially serving as the gate between the outdoors and your home, it should only be big enough to fulfill that purpose. Unlike other rooms in your home, the mudroom is transient. It won&#8217;t be a room for guests to hang out. According to&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.houseplans.com\/blog\/designing-the-perfect-mudroom#:~:text=The%20ideal%20width%20of%20a,minimum%20length%20of%20the%20mudroom.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Houseplans.com<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, the ideal mudroom design should be at least 5 feet wide and 11 feet long. This allows a few people to enter the house simultaneously and store their items in cubbies.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s the Best Floor Surface for <br \/>a Mudroom?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div><a rel=\"follow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.houzz.com\/photos\/union-hill-residence-traditional-entry-new-york-phvw-vp~1978843\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/st.hzcdn.com\/simgs\/pictures\/entryways\/union-hill-residence-arturo-palombo-architecture-img~7a410bf100a40809_8-5468-1-3044767.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"432\" nopin=\"nopin\" ondragstart=\"return false;\" onselectstart=\"return false;\" oncontextmenu=\"return false;\"\/><\/a><\/div><div style=\"color:#444;\"><small><a style=\"text-decoration:none;color:#444;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.houzz.com\/professionals\/architects-and-building-designers\/arturo-palombo-architecture-pfvwus-pf~1325439068\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Photo by Arturo Palombo Architecture<\/a><\/small><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The number one rule of mudroom flooring, according to Bakke, is &#8220;easy to clean.&#8221; He elaborates, &#8220;Rather than track the outdoors inside onto carpet or difficult-to-clean rugs, make sure the floor itself is made from a durable, waterproof material.&#8221; These materials could include tile, laminate, or vinyl. In some cases, sealed wood could be used with some success, but it isn&#8217;t ideal. When picking out flooring for your mudroom, keep in mind that you&#8217;ll have to clean it more frequently than other floors in your lake home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Should a Mudroom Be Organized?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"704\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mudroom-Entry-Design-Ideas-01-1-Kindesign.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mudroom-Entry-Design-Ideas-01-1-Kindesign.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mudroom-Entry-Design-Ideas-01-1-Kindesign-256x300.jpg 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/onekindesign.com\/2015\/01\/09\/55-absolutely-fabulous-mudroom-entry-design-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">One Kindesign<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few &#8220;must-haves&#8221; for every mudroom design. First, one of the biggest mudroom perks is having a space to deposit dirty shoes and overcoats. Bakke notes that you&#8217;ll need an ample amount of hooks and cubbies for storage. He adds, &#8220;Built-in storage like lockers, cabinetry, and shelving is great if not essential; however, you can also use simple baskets and bins to hold your galoshes and gloves.&#8221; It&#8217;s also a good idea to have a closet nearby for storing out-of-season items like winter gloves and coats. Finally, since a mudroom will be a place for tracking dirt, it&#8217;s a smart idea to place it near the laundry room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Any Specific Lake House Features?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"773\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mudroom-Entry-Design-Ideas-49-1-Kindesign.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mudroom-Entry-Design-Ideas-49-1-Kindesign.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mudroom-Entry-Design-Ideas-49-1-Kindesign-233x300.jpg 233w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/onekindesign.com\/2015\/01\/09\/55-absolutely-fabulous-mudroom-entry-design-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">One Kindesign<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">At a lake house, a mudroom is a critical feature. Andra DelMonico, an interior design expert for\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/nextluxury.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Next Luxury<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, says, &#8220;A unique idea that&#8217;s perfect for a lake house is a boot wash station. This mini-tiled space is just big enough to rinse your feet off. Mount the controls and shower head low to avoid splashing. A showerhead with a handle on a hose will make it easier to rinse everywhere. As a bonus, you can also use it as a dog wash station.&#8221; Just like beach houses have outdoor showers for this purpose, she recommends a similar feature for lake homes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you have children, other special mudroom considerations apply. For example, DelMonico recommends skipping the open cubbies if you have kids. &#8220;They will always look like a tornado just came through,&#8221; she elaborates. If your lake house has a garage, it&#8217;s best to place the mudroom near the garage entrance. Without a garage, a good rule of thumb is to stick to the side or rear of the house \u2014 whatever is closest to the lake itself!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">From us at Lake Homes Realty, we wish you the best with your mudroom design renovations!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo by Vision Interiors Does a Mudroom Add Value?
