Mudroom Drop Zone Ideas
Raleigh Custom Homes
Get ideas from these seven mudroom drop zones, designed with different types of storage, frequencies of use, and spatial configurations in mind.
Mudroom Drop Zone Idea #1: Family Storage Center
This family drop zone comes with upper and lower cubbies, coat hooks (each with a letter inlay that spells "family"), and dual closets.
One closet features shelving, designed for storing soaps, buckets, and small house cleaning items. The other closet features a full height design, crafted to fit tall items such as mops, brooms, and a vacuum.

Mudroom Drop Zone Idea #2: Multi-Use Cubby System
An open archway leads from the breakfast room and kitchen to this tucked-in mudroom space.

The upper cubbies are perfect for storing light-weight items you use less frequently. The lower cubbies double as a bench seat.
These cubbies are sized perfectly for adding colorful buckets or labeled baskets.
Mudroom Drop Zone Idea #3: Hallway with two Drop Zones
A small nook, short hallway, or under-stairs wall can be the perfect place to add built-in storage units.
In this Raleigh custom home, dual drop zones offer double the built-in storage - with a unit on each wall of the hallway.
For a design like this, consider assigning each family member their own cubby column (you can even personalize each section with name labels).

Mudroom Drop Zone Idea #5: Full Wall of Storage
This mudroom, tucked between the garage and kitchen, has a place for everything, everywhere you turn.
The full wall of custom, elegant built in shelving offers open concept storage.
A set of storagehooks are great for coats, purses, and even keys. A sink cabinet is designed for easy clean-up, preventing dirt and grime from being tracked into the home.
