If kitchens are the heart of the home, mudrooms and laundry rooms are the lungs—spaces that help the whole house breathe easier by containing everyday chaos. These hard working areas deserve as much design attention as any living room or kitchen (maybe more!).

For mudrooms, we consider your family's specific patterns. Do you need individual cubbies for everyone's coats and gear? Space for multiple pets? Season-specific storage for Midwest weather? (Indiana can deliver all four seasons in a single week!) Seating for removing boots? Charging stations? Even the smallest mudrooms can be optimized with thoughtful zoning and smart storage solutions.

Laundry rooms should make necessary tasks more efficient and, dare we say, enjoyable. We plan workspace flow, incorporate folding surfaces and hanging areas where possible, and integrate storage for supplies. Even in compact spaces, we find opportunities for both beauty and function—perhaps a striking backsplash, a vibrant paint color, or an unexpected light fixture that makes you smile while switching loads.

Whether converting an old back porch into a mudroom for a historic Craftsman or designing a bright, new laundry destination with custom cabinetry in a suburban home, we create utility spaces that serve daily needs while contributing to your home's overall aesthetic. Because even practical spaces deserve to have soul!
