Have you ever heard of a mudroom closet? It’s basically just a closet that has been converted into a cute little mudroom, and I’ve got a closet in my laundry area that is begging to become a mudroom!
Here’s our closet area, just off the garage entry. Right now, it has our 60-year old furnace and 30-year old water heater in it, but this week we are getting a whole new HVAC and water heater system installed in our house, and this space will soon be empty! I’m super excited to be getting a bunch of new space in this room that will also add so much storage and functionality for our family!
Our Closet – Before
Mudroom Closet Ideas
I found lots of great pictures of mudrooms that were built into closets just like ours, and I can’t wait to get started. Maybe these pictures will inspire you, too, by seeing the great possibilities of what a closet in your house could become!
Take a look at all this storage!
Love those adorable gray stripes!
Such a cozy little nook, but I think I need a shelf or two in my mudroom closet.
Adorable!
Oooh, love this one, too! I like the way it is open under the bench to the floor – more likely my kids shoes will end up under there.
This is another fabulous one!
Good vertical storage! See what you can do even in a small closet?
Can you believe all the fun options for a mudroom closet? I just love this idea, and can’t wait to get started on ours. If you’ve done this in your house, please leave a comment and share your experience. And if you have any pictures to share, that’s even better!

I love these ideas but where would I put the water heater?!
We changed the location of our water heater to the garage. You could also do a tankless water heater that takes up much less space.
We just did the same thing. Got rid of the regular water tank that broke and installed tankless water heater in garage. Now we have an extra closet inside our house located in hallway that needs some work. What did you do with the old vents?
Great content! I really needed this, after recently going tankless. However now I’m stuck with an empty closet with unsightly pipes that the original plumber left. How expensive would it be to have those removed?
Mudroom closets can be such a useful addition to a home, especially in colder climates. Do you have any plans to upgrade your mudroom?
