Stop being embarrassed of a disorganized, unappealing mudroom. We rounded up tips from designers and Wayfair editors that you can execute in 10 minutes or less to whip it into shape.
1. Declutter the Nooks and Crannies
Put away items that are out of season or haven't been used in a while, like flip flops from your trip to the pool three months ago. —Austin Bean Design Studio
2. Give Everyone a Designated Spot
Assign every family member their own labeled cubby. It keeps things organized and serves as a helpful reminder for little ones. —TL Studio
3. Add a Homey Touch
An indoor-outdoor rug creates a cozy feel and provides a place to wipe off shoes so dirt isn't tracked into the house. —Wayfair Editors
4. Layer in Baskets
Use baskets to help organize and disguise clutter. Wicker baskets add a layer of texture and collect loose items like shoes, hats, and gloves. —Carrie McCall Design
5. Brighten it Up
Since mudrooms are high-traffic areas, walls and finishes often get scuffed or discolored. A fresh coat of paint breathes new life into the space. —TL Studio

6. Create Grab-and-Go Storage
Use separate tote bags to corral gear for different activities—beach towels and snorkels, or cleats and a soccer ball. You can easily grab what you need while running out the door. —Wayfair Editors
7. Mix it Up With a Pop of Color
Add warmth to your mudroom bench with colorful throw pillows. Outdoor fabrics are durable for busy spaces and come in fun patterns and colors. —Carrie McCall Design
8. Update Your Hardware
Switch out knobs, hooks, and handles to take your mudroom to the next level. —Austin Bean Design Studio
9. Hide the Mess
Place a tension rod with a curtain in a doorway or over an open cabinet to keep clutter out of sight, out of mind.—Wayfair Editors
10. Make it Personal
Add a piece of art. Whether it's a piece you've been eyeing or something your kiddo painted, incorporate something that will make you happy when you walk in the door. —Austin Bean Design Studio
