Editorial
The mudroom is the most underrated room in a custom home. It is where the family lands every day backpacks, coats, boots, sports gear, the dog. A great mudroom turns chaos into order with custom cabinetry engineered around the family’s specific patterns. The result is a room that does heavy work without looking like a utility space.
FAQ Mudrooms & Entryways
Can you build a mudroom into an existing house?
Often, yes. A mudroom can be built into a converted garage, a former laundry room, a former pantry, or a small addition built specifically for the purpose. The Discovery phase identifies the best location based on traffic patterns and existing structure.
How do you keep mudroom cabinetry looking good after years of use?
Material selection and finish. We use durable hardwoods for the seat tops and counters. The 22-step finish system is the most wear-resistant finish we apply. Soft-close hardware throughout. Floor tile or stone not hardwood under the wettest zones. The mudroom is designed to be the hardest-working room in the house and the easiest to clean.
