You know that your mudroom isn’t only busy in the winter months! To be honest, it might be most used in the summer! With a little bit of thought and organization, your mudroom can be ready to go for a full summer.
Here’s how to make sure your mudroom is ready for summer!
Declutter and Organize
The first step to refreshing any space is decluttering and organizing. Especially if you live in a place where winter is long and cold, now’s the time to pack up and store your winter belongings properly.
This will also allow you to make room for any of the summer essentials you want to have quick access to like towels, sunglasses, and bug spray. While you’re in the process of decluttering, make sure you are restocked on all of these summer items you’ll be reaching for quickly.
Upgrade Your Floor Mats
Now’s the time to swap out your old floor mats with something that’s easy to clean, protective, and bright for the summer months ahead! We love these floor mats because they are handmade, come in multiple sizes, and do an excellent job of protecting your floor.
Create a Drying Station
One of the best parts of summer is how much time you can spend outside in the water or pool. Especially if you have young children, tracking water into the house is never ending. Make sure to set up a drying station for wet towels, swimsuits, or even muddy items. Adding a few hooks might help you eliminate anything that could potentially fall onto the floor.
Install a Shoe Rack
Summer sometimes brings more footwear than winter! There’s bound to be an influx of sandals entering your home in the coming months. One way to keep everything off the floor is to install a shoe rack. There are many different types of shoe racks. Some that sit on the floor, and others that look like cabinets. Consider the space you have and choose carefully a shoe rack that can fit all the summer footwear you and your household need.
With these tips, your mudroom will be prepped and ready to handle all the summer fun you’re bound to have! By getting your mudroom ready now at the start of summer, you’ll be able to enjoy months of an organized and clutter-free space.
