9. Mid-Mod Mood

8. Farmhouse Feel
TriVistaUSA Design + Build made a lucky discovery when renovating a home in the Arlington, Virginia, area. In the mudroom, the team found this black tile underneath the original flooring, which both saved money and fit the home’s rustic farmhouse style. A vintage-look runner rug serves as a soft counterpoint to the hard surfaces and a spot for the family dog to relax.

7. Refined Rusticity
When reimagining her own ranch house in La Cañada, California, designer Courtney Thomas brought the outdoors in by carrying the home’s new exterior stone cladding into the entryway. The warm wide-plank floors, rustic console and bench covered in nubby upholstery double down on the mountain-modern aesthetic.

6. New but Nostalgic
Old-fashioned cabinet ventilation holes can help prevent damp clothes from getting musty and are pretty to boot, making them a win-win in this Mapleton, Utah, mudroom. Part of a whole-home renovation by Harper & Co., the mudroom also has harlequin-pattern flooring that, like the cabinet details, looks at once vintage and fresh.

5. Dress Blues
Lead designer Stephanie Cole of TKS Design Group carried the blue, white, brass and bronze color scheme of this Chicago home’s new kitchen into the mudroom, which got new cabinetry, bench seating and easily reached hooks. Plenty of light streams in through the glass door, so the room feels bright despite the dark blue hue and stained wood floor.
