It’s not easy to wake up each morning and find your child’s shoes in one place. You have a backpack on the floor, a winter jacket in the bedroom closet, and a raincoat hidden in the kitchen. It can lead to total chaos before leaving the house. Whether you want to add a fresh coat of paint or a full remodel, a fresh and tidy mudroom can be a key to a stress-free morning.
Declutter: Organize Your Mudroom
The key to an organized mudroom is to assign particular spots to each family member’s belongings. Set a place for coats and a spot to keep the shoes. Label those spots so everyone will know where to put their jackets or bags. Your key goal here is to ensure that every item has a “home” to return to once it’s not in use. Creating designated spaces for your family member’s shoes and jackets will allow them to remember where they should take their shoes when returning home.
Utilizing Boot Trays to Keep Shoes Dry
After that, you may want to consider adding more unique, but highly functional, elements. A boot tray near the entrance will be a great way to keep the melted snow from standing and running on the floor when the temperature drops. It will reduce the risk of possible damage to your flooring and reduce the amount of cleaning you would need to do.
Painting a Mudroom for a Mood Transformation
After the preliminary decluttering and organization are complete, it’s time to put your painting skills to use. You can simply try to do the work on your own and save money. Or you can hire a painting contractor and take advantage of their experience and skill set to have a professional-looking mudroom.
Choosing a Professional Painting Contractor
Working with professional painting contractors allows you to take advantage of their unique skill set. With their help, you’ll be able to completely transform your mudroom.
Select the Proper Paint Type
The first thing a professional contractor can help you with is paint type selection. They will choose a durable, washable, and scuff-proof paint that will be able to stand up to the constant traffic that mudrooms often have to endure. In addition, you can work with your contractor to identify paints that will include antimicrobial additives to help you fight against mold and mildew. This will be extremely helpful, as the mudroom will be the first point of contact for wet winter coats.
Preparing and Ensuring a Long-Lasting Finish
In addition to finding the best type of paint for your mudroom, professional painters can make sure that the paint is waterproof. In a similar fashion, this will give your home another level of protection against water and other elements. As the winter holidays are already in full effect, and you may have more things to do than your mudroom is prepared for, a painting contractor will allow you to avoid extra hassle. Mistakes made by unskilled painters will require you to spend more time or hire a professional to complete the job for you. Therefore, while it is entirely possible to try to do it all on your own, there’s a lot of value to be found in working with a painting contractor.
Refreshing Your Mudroom
A freshly painted mudroom will not only help to transform the look of the space. It can easily add some style and liveliness to your home. More importantly, when the whole family can see the care and attention that has gone into your mudroom, they will be more inclined to keep it tidy and organized. A mudroom that is in tip-top shape at the beginning of each season can do a lot to make daily chores more bearable and your family life more manageable.
