Our client came to us wanting to make their mudroom more streamlined, include more storage, generally be more useful – and of course, designed. It served many needs for their family: work space, storage space, and landing space for all things. Being a busy family, it quickly became a catch-all space that was difficult to organize and did not use its space to its full potential. It was time for a redesign!
When we visited the space, we were able to talk with our client about what components were important in this space for the needs of the family as well as what style preferences were desired. We decided to keep the flooring that existed but add a new built in that included extra storage and a workspace. We were able to look at other parts of the home and also consider how we could help this space connect with those as well, giving the home a more cohesive feel. We were excited to get to work making this mudroom a space that would not only meet the many diverse needs of our client’s family but also make it feel like a place they were glad to walk into when they arrived home from whatever activity they were off doing.
We are SOOOOO happy with how this space turned out – and so is our client! The white shaker cabinets added so much light and so much storage to the space. Over-sized black knobs gave the space a playful element, while also some depth – add in some natural elements like warm wood shelving and greenery and the space had new life. The black swing arm sconce added dimension. The shelves create balance and space for organizing.
The sink made the room more functional, and it looks stylish too. It’s easy to see a mudroom as just a practical space, but we love that in this case, we were able to give our client it all: style and functionality!
The long desk (and we looooooove the chair!) was exactly what our client wanted to give the space all the usefulness needed. Coming home from school with papers or the mail – an instant place to organize it all. Even better to come home to a space that meets your needs and looks classically modern, too! It was so satisfying to see the space come together for this client.
