Decluttering the walls + better layout + a new rug (that wins the day) + art were the name of the game in this busy family mudroom. Adding coordinating coat hooks to the wall behind the door maximized storage which allowed for the large wall opposite the door to shine with encouraging words instead.

BEFORE

The dog crate was no longer necessary and could be donated. We found another home in laundry for tools + hardware to clear the cube shelf top. Making the cubes for SHOES ONLY helps, and removing mismatched hooks helped the cohesiveness of the space. The new rug is beautiful, happy and hides messes!

Simple IKEA hooks made more interesting on repurposed pallet boards + lace.

Only purchases were affordable hooks + artwork + rug!
