A Better Place to Come Home To

Turn Your Entryway Into a Functional Drop Zone

Mudrooms often become the landing spot for coats, shoes, backpacks, sports gear, pet supplies, and everything else that comes through the door. Without the right storage, clutter can quickly spread into the rest of your home.

A custom mudroom creates designated places for the items your household uses every day. With the right combination of benches, cubbies, hooks, cabinets, drawers, and shelving, your entryway can become easier to use, easier to maintain, and more welcoming.

Storage That Supports Your Routine

Thoughtful Mudroom Design for Everyday Life

The best mudrooms are built around the people, pets, and routines that use them. Our designers create personalized storage that keeps everyday essentials organized and within reach.

Personalized Family Storage

Create individual cubbies, hooks, shelves, or cabinets for each family member so coats, bags, shoes, and accessories have a consistent place.

Built-In Bench Seating

Add a comfortable place to sit while putting on or removing shoes, with storage underneath for footwear, baskets, or seasonal items.

Shoe & Boot Organization

Keep everyday footwear off the floor with custom cubbies, shelves, drawers, or enclosed cabinets designed around your space.

Backpack & Gear Storage

Designated hooks and compartments help keep school bags, sports gear, handbags, and work essentials easy to grab on the way out.

Pet Supply Storage

Create convenient storage for leashes, towels, grooming items, treats, and outdoor pet supplies without letting them take over the entryway.

Personalized Design & Pricing

Your mudroom is designed around your household, available space, preferred finishes, and budget, with transparent pricing before installation begins.

Built Around How You Come and Go

A Mudroom Layout Designed for Your Daily Routine

A functional mudroom should make it easier to leave the house prepared and return without bringing clutter into the rest of your home. We look at who uses the space, what they carry, where shoes and outerwear tend to collect, and which items need to stay within easy reach.

Your design may include a bench near the door, individual cubbies for family members, hooks for coats and backpacks, upper cabinets for seasonal gear, drawers for smaller items, or dedicated storage for pet supplies. By planning around your real routine, we can create an entryway that stays organized and works better every day.

Suzanne and the entire UpClosets team knocked it out of the park!
Suzanne, I just had to take a moment to thank you and everyone at UpClosets for the amazing design and installation of my mom’s walk-in closet! The team spent the whole day installing it, and when we finally walked in, I promise it felt like the closet sang the Hallelujah Chorus!
I’ve walked back over there multiple times just to admire it again and again. It is absolutely beautiful, exquisite, incredibly functional, and exactly what my mom wanted. The installation team was fantastic — they were so thoughtful and considerate of our brand-new hardwood floors, carefully laying down thick paper to protect them the entire time.
Suzanne, you have been an absolute pleasure to work with. I truly appreciated your attention to detail, your ability to listen to our needs, and your wonderful flexibility. You redesigned our ideas multiple times as we tweaked things, and you were always so responsive. You bring such a personal touch and genuine care to your clients — it really shows.
Thank you again for creating something so special. We couldn’t be happier!

Mudroom Storage Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Mudrooms

What should a functional mudroom include?

A functional mudroom often includes a combination of bench seating, hooks, cubbies, cabinets, shoe storage, and shelving. The right layout depends on your household, available space, and the items you need to store when coming and going.

Can you create a mudroom in a small entryway?

Yes. A full-size room is not required. A hallway, garage entry, laundry room, or unused wall can often be transformed with a compact bench, hooks, vertical storage, cubbies, or shallow cabinetry designed for the available space.

How can I organize a mudroom for a family?

Giving each family member a designated hook, cubby, basket, or cabinet can make the space easier to maintain. Everyday items should stay within reach, while seasonal gear and less-used belongings can be stored higher or behind cabinet doors.

Can a mudroom include both open and closed storage?

Yes. Many custom mudrooms combine open storage for coats, shoes, and backpacks with enclosed cabinets and drawers for smaller items, seasonal gear, and visual clutter. A balanced layout gives you easy access without making the space feel messy.

Can you include pet storage in a mudroom?

Yes. Custom mudrooms can include storage for leashes, food, towels, grooming supplies, treats, and other pet essentials. These features can be incorporated into cabinets, drawers, cubbies, or dedicated storage zones.

How much does a custom mudroom cost?

The cost depends on the size of the space, the amount of cabinetry included, and the features and finishes you choose. Benches, drawers, upper cabinets, cubbies, specialty storage, and upgraded finishes can all affect the final investment. Up Closets provides a personalized design and transparent pricing during your consultation.
