Add rugs to further collect water and dirt. Make sure rugs are non-skid and washable. Adequate storage is a must. Shelving is essential. Use ventilated wire for quick drying.
Pegs accommodate wet jackets, hats, pocketbooks and umbrellas.
Pegs or hooks also help organize key rings and dog leashes. Place shelving and pegs at proper levels for each family member's easy reach. A mudroom is a great place to locate the family recycling center. Add a laundry basket or bin to toss your wet duds. Personalize each family member's storage area by color or name.
