Mudroom MARVELS

Mudrooms are having a moment. And you don’t need to be a farmer to have one. In this hardworking entry point to your sanctuary, you can offload both your bags and baggage from the outside world. “When we design a home, we almost always include a mudroom because it’s just requested so often,” says interior designer Janette Stritt of Sydney firm, Stritt Design & Construction. “Mudrooms are an ideal drop-off zone for shoes, bags and sporting gear, ideally making the rest of the house – and your mind – clutter-free.” If you’re planning a mudroom, consider some of the clever ideas seen in the following multitasking spaces.

1 Go for bold

It may be a utilitarian space, but mudrooms are a great place to have fun with finishes, says Kristin Peake, who designed this lavish example featuring swathes of rich blue Benjamin Moore Stonecutter paint. “The owners have three young, very active children and needed a well-organised and functional space,” she explains. There’s a place for everything, as well as a gift-wrapping station and mail slots. “They weren’t afraid of colour, which encouraged me to design a classic and timeless space while embracing colour,” says Kristin. Mission definitely accomplished.
