After blustery weather and unpredictable snow storms, you might find that your mudroom and entryway are starting to feel the negative side effects of the winter season. Don’t worry! We put together some easy, DIY-friendly tips to help you refresh and rejuvenate your mudroom.

Stop the mess before it can begin

Invest in quality doormats on both sides of the front door. This will trap outside dirt and grime upon entry and help keep your floor nice and clean.

Create personalized doormats with just a stencil and acrylic paints. Follow the tutorial on DIY Candy.

Get creative with your storage

Hold small items like gloves and mittens on a Hanging Shelf that installs easily on any wire shelving. This way you’re never stuck looking for a lost glove! Bonus: The ventilated wire will help any damp fabric dry more quickly.

Use a Hideaway Hanging Shelf (or all three in the pack!) to stow and dry your wet wintry accessories!

Create your own DIY drip station

Tired of snowy boots melting and leaving puddles all over the floor? Create your own DIY shoe drip tray to catch the watery mess.

Give yourself a place to sit and dress

Getting ready to go outside in the winter time requires some additional outfit planning. Create a place at the front door to sit down when you’re putting on all those bulky layers.

Shoe storage that doubles as a bench is an attractive and affordable way to add functionality to your mudroom, no matter how big or small it is.

Make your mudroom work harder for you!

Even if you don’t have a closet in your mudroom, establish a storage system that allows you to hang your coats, sort your mail, store your keys and hide any other miscellaneous clutter.

A standalone DIY storage system like Modular Closet can create a dropzone and fulfill your family’s needs perfectly.

With an upgraded mudroom and entryway space, the last few months of winter will fly by before you know it!
