Mudroom configuration
LAY-MUDROOM-CONFIG-01Description
Mudrooms should be at least 25 sqft (room for a bench + cubbies for ~4 family members). Mudrooms in homes with a separate laundry should ideally be adjacent to the laundry so the dirty-clothes path is short.
Why this exists
Mudroom should be at least 5×6 ft, positioned between garage entry and house interior, with bench / hooks / cubbies for the family count the brief states.
