Laundry/Mudroom Layout
Comments (9)Thanks for sharing the ways in which you all use your back entries and storage spaces. It is helpful to know what the most useful areas are to you! The room labeled "pantry" would be used more for storage of odd items, similar to chisue's closet. It will house the vacuum, cleaning supplies, ironing board, and extra overflow from the kitchen. The entrance from the mudroom into the house comes between the living area and kitchen, with the kitchen being to the left as you walk in. My main concerns come with the laundry area of the room. I really would like a designated place to hang wet delicate clothes that won't be dried. Right now I have a collapsible drying rack that I absolutely hate and can't wait to throw out. Are stationary rods the answer? And should this area be across from the washer/dryer, taking some of that space currently designated for the closet?Where do you all make room for that? Oruboris, we also need a wide range of outerwear in our climate. That is why I'm not sure about taking out the closet to make room for more exposed hooks and shelving. I don't want the closet to become a dumping ground mess...however, I'm not sure that I want everything out in the open either. And if I take space from the closet area to make more room for laundry, will there still be adequate space to have a functional closet? Am I even making sense anymore? I definitely don't want to find myself with too little storage space. To put a small bath in that area would take space from somewhere. Should it come from the "pantry" area? I guess this would need a total reconfiguration of the room. And this is my problem--I don't know how much space needs to be dedicated to each function of the room. Is the 4' bench and 2' wide cubbies enough area for 4 people to come in and shed coats? How big is a minimum area for a 1/2 bath? Any more suggestions? Thank you!...See MoreLaundry/mudroom layout
Comments (3)If possible, you could move the washer and dryer on the right wall and have cabinets above. If you are going to have a counter on top of those machines it could be used as an ironing/gift wrapping station as well. If not, create a counter that runs along the wall under the window as an ironing station, giving you a nice view of the front yard while you iron and fold your clothes! You could also create a window seat under the window for putting shoes on. The left wall could have hooks at the top for coats and cubbies and baskets at the bottom for shoe storage....See MoreLooking for laundry /mudroom layout advice
Comments (0)Hi! I’m looking for some layout for my laundry/mudroom. I’m looking to create a mudroom from the current bonus room with lockers and bench. I was thinking of a row of cabinetry lockers along the back wall with a bench under the windows. I’m not sure if I should create some sort of hallway or wall to close off the space. Currently there is a door to the laundry room and then another door into the bonus room. It’s such a tight squeeze in the laundry room, and the garage door into the laundry room opens right into the washer (I drew in the current door configurations). I’m willing to get rid of the fireplace from the family room and push that wall back into the bonus room so we can get more space in the family room or keep it and update/remodel it. I’m attaching pics of the current space as well. The last layout pic is the configuration from the original builder for people that made the bonus room into a bedroom. Mine doesn’t have the hallway or wall. It’s all open except for the door from the laundry room into the bonus room which I drew in. We are a family of 4 (two kids 10 and 7) in Southern CA. We are on a slab foundation so plumbing is a bit of an issue to move. how would you configure this space and create a mudroom? Would you create a hallway and close it off? We were thinking of keeping the flex space for future resale (playroom space) and use it as a game room /office space. Thanks!...See MoreLayout Ideas for Mudroom/Laundry/Powder off of Kitchen
Comments (1)It seems like you have given it a lot of thought. In that case, go with your gut. If you need a professional to say "this is the best one", or say, this is the best one, but I'd do this here, and that there, I can help, this is what I do all day long.
