Please help- Seeking suggestions on size of laundry/mudroom?
Comments (4)Ours was framed at 9x16, about 8x15 inside dimensions. There are two 36" doors, room for the washer, dryer, and double tub. There is a 2x5 coat closet and a 2x5 counter area. There is a window centered in one short wall. The other short wall is for coat hooks. The doors are on opposite long walls. We are recently under roof and are far from completion. The room gives the feeling that it will be adequate, but not wasteful of space. Hope this helps....See MoreNew Craftsman Kitchen/Bath, Mudroom/Butler Pantry, Bath/Laundry, Floor
Comments (0)The stone craftsman bungalow at the top of Wright Hill was built as a summer home in 1911. Our renovation converted a first floor bedroom and hallway into a new kitchen and adjoining office, remodeled the original kitchen into a storage/mudroom and butler's pantry, and upgraded the bathroom and adjoining laundry room. https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/83941792/thumbs/new-craftsman-kitchen-bath-mudroom-butler-pantry-bath-laundry-floors...See MoreHelp with Drop zone design in combo mudroom/laundry room
Comments (20)I did not do the final designs you see. I used PAINT, but then my cabinet designer drew what you see above. The shelves in my study sit on top of an air return box (the grill is facing in the hall behind the study wall. I added a photo of that. Grill outlines in white.) Since there was this large hump sticking out in the study, I decided that the space above could be put to good use. I did a similar thing in the back of our house. Air return in hallway. Bump out was in my closet. I built shelves about it for pocketbooks. You could build a cabinet with doors above your air return....See MoreCan You Improve My Mudroom/Laundry/Pantry Plans?
Comments (3)Ask and you shall receive.... The Kitchen and stairs are located as follows: For reference, the garage would go to the left of this, past the back of the house, and pick up that door to the "north" of the stairs (not shown, but labeled, top left) The stairs and kitchen are an exterior wall. No windows until you get to the kitchen sink. 3D Overview: That wall running through the refrigerator is the existing pantry area and would be beamed at about 9'. to match heights with the back room. The opening in the kitchen wall is new also--currently just two 30" doors on either end. It has a post in the middle due to a steam line that can't move. Plumbing in the back area does not need to stay. All can move. Current 6x9 bathroom is where the proposed laundry is, if that makes sense. Current wall location does not matter--it's already stripped and ready to pull. I just didn't feel 6' wide was enough for a laundry. The mudroom is basically the space that was left over after trying to accommodate both rear doors, and fit in the walk in pantry, laundry, and a half bath. All of those elements need to be in here in some respect. For scale, the entire house is almost 5000 square feet above grade. This 15.5x21.5 back room is just open, disorganized space (apart from the tiny 6x6 laundry)....See Morekirkhall
