Blueprint for Improvement:  Efficient mudroom in Westfield

0

THE CHALLENGE:

DSCF3015

 

This Westfield home was built in 2010 in the Long Ridge Estates neighborhood.  Previously, the mudroom entry through the garage offered a small bench and a coat closet, with the laundry room just beyond.  It wasn’t an efficient use of space for this family of four, who wanted a more open and accessible place to store coats, backpacks and other essentials.

THE SOLUTION:

13782 Mary Lou Dr 1

  • 13782 Mary Lou Dr 6The closet was eliminated in exchange for open shelves and cubbies for each member of the family. The incorporated bench provides more seating than the previous version.
  • Each top cubby has an integrated USB charging port so family members can charge their devices as soon as they get home.
  • Cabinetry above the cubbies and a built-in dresser with granite countertop provides ample concealed storage for a variety of household items that need to be quickly accessible.
  • Slate tile laid in a herringbone pattern connects the new mudroom with the adjoining laundry room.
