CHISELLED LOOKS

LITTLE DETAILS These make a big difference when it comes to organising your laundry with items such as well-positioned hooks to hang your dustpan and broom. Or add a table with a padded, upholstered top for ironing. MUDROOMS These are transitional entries and are key to an organised home. With racks for boots and shoes, hooks for jackets and catch-all storage, there’ll no longer be any excuse for clutter and it will keep the rest of the common rooms in the house looking neat and clean. BE IMAGINATIVE Mudrooms look great with shiplap or wallpaper, seating, and baskets to stow boots – plus a shelving system with compartments that is open wide to view the contents. Make it simple for the family to stash their stuff, so the space stays tidy. Install hooks to hang hats, coats and scarves. A banquette can do double duty as storage and seating to take off shoes. UTILITARIAN CHIC In mudrooms (or laundries) – you can use doors that set your shelving apart, with striking slats that create texture and a beautiful interplay between light and shadow. The system can be off-the-shelf or customised to include drawer units, racks and shelves. DOOR HARDWARE Use interesting cabinet hardware and hinges with drawer fronts that vibe with your interiors. MOOD BOARDS If you’re desiring an efficient laundry or mudroom space, look through glossy lifestyle magazines, Pinterest and Instagram for styles that appeal, from farmhouse to modern, to create your own mood board, until common themes start to stand out.
