You may not know it yet, but you need a mudroom

If you love a level of organization and functionality that you just haven’t quite achieved in your home, behold, the Mudroom: the perfect place to transition yourself and your things from outdoors to in and back out again. Whether it’s in a corner of the garage, an entryway or a whole room of its own, this oft-overlooked space is perhaps the missing piece in the flow and convenience of your home.
