If you already have a mudroom in your home, but it just ain't cutting it or it needs to be updated, you can always redo the entire thing. In some cases, a few simple changes can make a significant impact for a fraction of the cost of a full remodel. However, if you desire to redo the entire mudroom, here are some tips. The first step to redoing your mudroom is usually to decide on design elements. For most homeowners, the goal is to create space that is functional and creates additional storage space as well. You should stay focused on functionality. The area around your washer and dryer should be functional and help with the process of doing laundry. Adding shelving can provide storage for detergents and other laundry products. You may even want to incorporate a folding table or a small island for additional workspace above and storage below. The last design element you should consider is the flooring. Even if you have wood floors throughout the home, it may be best to go with a hard tile floor that can take a beating and that won't show as much dirt. It can be a good idea to find flooring that is easy to clean as well and that won't scratch. Once you have all your design elements decided, it is time to clear the space. Take out the washer and dryer, remove any items you may have stored, and rip up any tile or remove unwanted cabinets. When everything is cleared out, you can now start to add the design elements you want for your new mudroom.
