Clutter goes a long way, especially in a small space. Though small spaces force us to think a bit more creatively, the good news is that a little foresight, planning and careful editing can go a long way toward making a tiny space solve a lot of problems.

Tiny Tips That Make a Big Difference

Think about your own habits and those you want to foster. Even if your space is tight, a couple of creative tricks can solve a lot of issues.

Add grab-and-go storage

Designate a spot for the inevitable bags and jackets.

Simplify

“Functionality comes first,” says our room consultant “It’s really helpful to stand in the space and go about your daily routine so you can figure out where you want to hang your keys, where you want to put on and take off shoes.” Accordion-style wall hooks, a small coat rack or a vintage hall tree can corral bags, hats and jackets. Include a stool and tuck a basket nearby or underneath for necessities.

The Right Paint

A tailored looking mudroom needs all the components for storage and paint colors that blend with your decor. Choosing a warm color or a bright fun color is up to you but CJ & Son Painting can give your mudroom a fresh look.
