Having a hardworking entry is perhaps the best way to keep a home tidy. The right storage components can help organize coats, shoes, sports equipment and other items before they clutter up other areas of the house. Here, designers share the cabinet details, paint colors and material choices they selected to create stylish and functional mudrooms.

Homeowners’ request. “As part of an addition, we doubled the existing space to include a built-in bench,” designer Marylou Fraser says. “Then we designed a custom cabinet to house my client’s treasured purses.”
Fraser’s clients found her on Houzz. “They were looking for a designer with their design aesthetic,” Fraser says. “Houzz gave them the tools to choose from many different designers. In the end, we were the perfect fit.”
Storage features. “An abundant wall of tall cabinet storage also includes a counter for mail and keys and has a phone-charging station,” Fraser says. “The cozy dog bed is tucked under to accommodate their new puppy. The mirrored interior doors open to a flood of warm light. Perfect for a last-minute glance before leaving home.”
Other special features. Grasscloth wallpaper. Patterned Roman shade. Green cushion. Lantern-style pendant light.
