15 Interiors of Traditional Mud Room Entry
You must have seen our showcase of foyers or entryways before and we are sure you liked the list especially those with sophisticated lightings in them. But aside from that, there are also entry areas that are mud rooms too. Not all homes have mud rooms but this is common in regions that are wet or have winters. This room helps to keep the house clean as people remove their jackets, shoes and others before entering the house.
It also acts as a barrier between the outdoors and indoors. Because of the function, materials used for the mud room can be easily cleaned like ceramic tiles. Others even have drains on the floor. Some mud rooms have benches too so people can sit there while removing their shoes. This area isn’t really the main entrance of the house. Oftentimes, it is found on another doorway or even on the back door. Mud rooms are common in traditional homes just like what we will see below.
