6. Use baskets to hide piles of crocs, gardening tools, gloves, etc.

A great example of using baskets. And how good interior photography stylists can compose stuff and try to make it look casual.

Built-ins around a window create a pretty, light and airy mudroom.

A large mudroom would make getting out the door a more organized and calm event!

5. Unclutter the space. Try to dispose of everything you have not used for a year. Do not get attached to furniture. Get rid of any item of furniture that is not adding to the look of the room. Create organized storage wherever possible.

7. Create storage solutions. All of the stuff you do keep needs a home. Having an entryway or mudroom outfitted with hooks, cubbies, and enforcing an immediate put away rule is crucial. Every family member should have a designated spot for shoes, bags and coats.

Even with a tiny space, a custom compact shelving system can be built around the window or door to maximize storage.

This Shaker-style hook rack creates an orderly place to hang coats and some sporting gear, while the cubbies provide extra storage.

1. Make daily necessities visible in the mudroom. Here, sports equipment, rain boots and a prepacked handbag are all within sight and reach, as opposed to tucked in a closet or dispersed throughout the house.Up your productivity even more by packing bags the night before. Before turning in for the night, store computers in laptop bags, gather the kids' homework and make sure sporting equipment is in the corresponding gym bag.

The idea of having what you need ready for when you walk out the door.
