Archive Dive: 25 Streamlined Entryways and Mudrooms

Here are 25 hardworking entryways and mudrooms we’d be happy to come home to.

This entryway in Spain makes use of baskets, vases, and an ingenious woven pinboard of sorts for keeping clutter at bay. Photograph via Tine K Home. See Steal This Look: An Artful Apartment in Palma, Mallorca.

Above: Entryway paraphernalia is kept out of sight behind a three-part, built-in storage system that maximizes the available height. For more, see Happiness at Home with a German Design Duo.
The simple entryway, located on the ground floor of a beach cottage, has a bench for tying shoes, a seagrass basket to store towels, and a series of Danish wood hooks to hold accoutrements. See Steal This Look: An Elegant Scandinavian Entryway on Martha’s Vineyard.

Barbara Chambers Mudroom Entryway with Slate Floor
Above: A mudroom wrapped unobtrusively in peg rails corrals coats (on the left) and leashes and keys (on the right). Recessed cabinets, built into the paneling, allow for extra storage. See House Call: An Exercise in Order with Architect Barbara Chambers.
As a way of bringing the outside in, materials typically used on the exterior, like exterior cypress square grooved siding and slate floors, were used inside the mudroom. See The Architect Is In: Porch Appreciation in Connecticut.

Above: In this Brooklyn apartment, the entryway is streamlined thanks to an Eames Hang It All coat rack and floor-to-ceiling white built-in closets that hide coats and kids’ gear. For more, see An Eclectic Apartment Inspired by Japanese Storage Chests in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn
Paige Geffen Clinton Street Los Angeles
Above: Interior designer Paige Geffin outfitted her small LA rental with a console table from Urban Outfitters (no longer available) and an Enter Magazine Holder from Ferm Living to create a landing pad for essentials, mail, and periodicals. For more, see The LA Rental, Upgraded: Designer Paige Geffen’s 500-Square-Foot Challenge.

Used as the daily family entrance, this mudroom has a built-in bench of American oak, floors of tumbled marble, and oak wall hooks. See In Sydney, a Modern Indoor/Outdoor Barn for a Landscape Architect and Family.

Above: If you don’t have a designated entry space, take a cue from this townhouse: a freestanding wardrobe both creates a divider and stashes essentials out of sight. See Nordic Beauty: A Brooklyn Townhouse Reinvented with Style—and Restraint.
Open closet in the entry of a Brooklyn duplex designed by Oliver Freundlich | Remodelista
Above: An entry in a Cobble Hill duplex designed by Oliver Freundlich is highly efficient thanks to a few factors: Two rows of hooks, space for both concealed and open, easy-access storage, and a rug to create a visual landing pad. See The Ultimate Starter Apartment on Remodelista.

Craftsmans Cottage Hallway
Above: A simple peg rail and bench provides an easy place to put on boots and stash outerwear. For more, see The Craftsman’s Cottage: A Holiday Rental in England.

The designers created a mini landing pad by defining a sliver of wall with dark charcoal paint and installing a trio of Dots Wall Hooks by Muuto for hanging coats and bags and a trio of shelves for storing shoes. See A Summery Flat in Stockholm, with Affordable Small-Space Ideas to Steal.
