How to Organize Your Mudroom

The entryway to your home isn’t just a first impression for guests; it’s the first thing you see when you get home. Learn how to organize your mudroom in this Wayfair.com video:

This mudroom makeover is low effort but high impact:

1. Start with a bench, one with drawers for seasonal items and baskets for shoes, bags and dog toys.

2. If you’re short on space, use corner storage like a boot tray that can be hidden behind a door.

3. Mix style with function, like an antique umbrella stand.

4. Coat rack and hooks are great for all seasons. Take it one step further and add baskets to wall hooks for small items.

5. Designate a place like a file holder to drop things on the way in.

6. A patterned indoor/outdoor rug hides dirt and dust.

7. Finish the space with a little decor, like a boxwood wreath.
