Laundry + Mudroom Inspiration

With my mission has been pretty simple: create all functional spaces throughout our home, laundry + mudroom being a bog one on the top of our list because as you know, I’m a mama of boys and we go through A LOT of dirty clothes. On top of all the laundry, our boys love spending a good chunk of the day outdoors throughout every season of the year, therefore the boys are usually dragging mud in the house during the spring, leaves during the fall, snow during the winter and sand + water + more dirt during the summer!
A laundry + mudroom is the perfect solution to all of our needs!!!!!
During my inspiration search, I have been noticing a lot more designers are incorporating both a laundry + mudroom area into their homes. It’s becoming a room of presentation, a room to glamorize and utilize all at once. But it makes perfect sense! With living a minimalized lifestyle (another big trend happening), it makes sense to have a room that can be functional and host both laundry and all your outdoor wear. Now this takes me back to my parents farmhouse (the one I grew up in) where we had our washer, dryer, sink and all my dad’s barn clothes in one room. When my younger brother and I were heading outdoors or coming in from outside, this is the room we used to enter and exit- the dumping grounds for all of our snow gear and mud! Now that I mention it, this is kind-of a farm thing… Am I right!? I have even heard of farmers putting a closed-in shower stall into the laundry room- smart, real smart… probably a well thought idea of a farmer’s wife
