FOUND! Storage SOLUTIONS in a tiny mudroom
Do you have a vacation condo in Lincoln or Waterville Valley, NH? If so, you probably need storage for gear – lots and lots of gear. While looking for storage solutions, I’m sure you have seen those swoon worthy images of super-clean mudrooms. You know, the ones with more decorative items than gear, and the one or two coats hanging that are all dry? Yeah, they’re not practical. We’re here to help! Sakin Home has been renovating condos in Central New Hampshire since 2008, and we have so many practical storage solutions for the small space in your vacation condo.
Depending on the footprint of the space, you essentially have two types of unused space – vertical space or wall space. If you’re storing items in a small mudroom, you probably need to take advantage of every inch between the floor and ceiling. If your gear needs to fit in the hallway, you need to make the most of your horizontal wall space.
Utilize every inch of space
VERTICAL SPACE: Small square footage? Go up!
1. A square, floor-stand storage rack corrals your skis, poles, boots and helmet. Its square footprint will nestle perfectly in a corner.
2. Floor to ceiling shelving with a built in bench and shoe storage underneath. Use the higher cabinets for gear that’s out of season.
3. Functional aesthetics! Put a boot tray under the bench with decorative rocks to catch all the drips and keep your floor clean. Speaking of floors, we recommend Luxury Vinyl Tile. It’s extremely durable, waterproof and beautiful. This article is about the best flooring for pets, but the same goes for ski gear. https://www.sakinhome.com/best-flooring-for-pets/
4. Space saver! Use a fold-out hanger attached to the wall to dry off your wet gloves.
5. Don’t forget the back of your door! This hat rack is the perfect storage solution – utilizing unused space to dry out your hats.
WALL SPACE: Take advantage of every inch.
6. Floor to ceiling custom cabinetry that creates storage for every precious inch of wall space.
7. A wall mounted ski rack keeps skis out of the way. Make a statement by adding a pop of color on one wall.
8. A tall, grated storage stand makes great use of your space while allowing your wet boots, gloves and hats to dry.
9. Even better – a wall mounted heated boot dryer.
10. Not shown – again, don’t forget the back of your door. When it comes to storage, every inch of dead space is valuable!
