Mud room

My clients open plan home did not have a suitable space in the home to store shoes, school bags, hats and anything else that came home from school or work. When the family entered the home via the garage into the dining area, anything that came in with them seemed to pile up in the corner of the dining room and on the dining room table. Frustrated with having to tidy this area day after day, she called in our expert team for help.

Mud rooms are very popular in the USA and Europe, and are fast becoming a popular addition to homes here in Australia. After suggesting that a mud room may be the answer, we allocated a small space in the corner of the garage near the entry door where the problem area was, and designed a space based on the client's specifications.

Our solution had to be cost effective, functional and look good.

We used storage systems already in the garage as well as purchased a small piece of outdoor carpet, a shoe rack, a privacy screen and rearranged the floor plan. Our client could not believe the simplicity of the solution and how little it cost.

Storage solutions do not have to be expensive. You may be surprised by how many storage systems you have in your home that are not being used or not used efficiently.
