The weather can be unpredictable year-round living in Southern California. It is common for people to focus on remodeling the kitchen and bathrooms before anything else when they look to upgrade and customize their home. A mudroom is a trending option that has many advantages, whether people want to remodel the laundry room for the needs of a mudroom or have a separate space for it. Your mudroom can provide purpose and style as it reduces the amount of filth tracked inside your home. Mudrooms are particularly nice to have in homes with pets, children, and/or endure a lot of foot traffic. We at Anytime Remodeling would like to offer some suggestions for your California mudroom remodel or add-on.
What is the Purpose of Your Mudroom?
Endless possibilities are a given to your mudroom as you incorporate your needs and style. Both large and small, cleverly designed spaces can easily provide the needs and wants of your home and family. For each family member, have cubicles or lockers, drawer space and shelves, along with hooks to store hats, coats, shoes, extra cleaning and pet supplies, as well as towels and linens can be built in your mudroom. Drains are also a feature many like when they hose off muddy feet and paws. Plan for a bathing station for your pet as well. While contributing to keeping your living space more dirt free, the mudroom is designed to easily transition you from the outdoors to the indoors.
Best Location for Mud Room
The two most usual places to add your mudroom onto, is either the back door or the door leading to the garage. Since the garage door is likely the primary exit and entrance to your as you utilize the garage, the mudroom serves as the perfect place to unload from the backpacks, shoes, outdoor gear and any other such baggage as you come inside and can set them in a designated spot. Umbrellas and rain boots for instance should have a place and the mudroom equipped with the right tools to clean and a place to store your stuff.
Mudroom Design & Build
The room does not require a sterile or utilitarian look to serve its purpose. Though it handles the brunt of the dirtiest of jobs, you can still have it look remarkable with rich woodwork, elegant hardware and light fixtures, as well as beautiful stone and bright colors.
Tips to Set Up & Organize a Mud Room
Listed below are a few suggestions to give you ideas on how you can customize your mudroom for a seamless and beautiful look.
1) If you choose to have two separate the doors; one that leads to the home and the other the garage, keep them similar. For those that prefer different doors, simply keep the window panes around the door the same. In a uniformed space, try to have the doors be perpendicular to offer more distinction to the space. If you want a door from the home to the mudroom, but still want it to feel more part of the home, use a glass door to make the space feel more open and not completely closed off.
2) Have the mudroom include both indoor and outdoor design elements and materials to design a nice transition to the space.
3) To add charm and give yourself a once over before you leave, install an elegant wall or floor mirror.
4) Have a sink put in the mudroom for a quick washup after tending to the garden or other dirty outdoor chores.
