good idea mini mudroom in the closet. Remove the door leads to the basement, you don't need that one too. Leave only the garage one

Can you put a door at the bottom of the basement steps if it is unheated area and open up the interior stairwell wall and replace with half wall or railing? It would give you a lot of visual space.

Switch the door swing of the garage door so you see an open space as you walk in and not a mudroom.

My only concern about all of this is walking in from the garage so close to the basement steps creating a potential fall problem...maybe a half door/gate concept?

Can you do away with door B and open it up from the garage for storage? Is your basement finished? Take that door C off and leave it open if finished. Or if you are going to make door B a mudroom, can you enter the house from garage through mudroom, thus eliminating door A

Thanks for the suggestions. I thought about removing the door to the basement as well but I too was concerned about someone coming up he basement stairs while someone was coming in from the garage.

Our basement is quite large (1400 sq ft) with high ceilings. It is heated but a door added at the bottom of the landing would look odd the way the stairs come around into the pool room unfortunately.

You need a basement door. Your idea of removing the closet door to create a mudroom niche is a great one. Do that first and then see how you feel.

change the basement door with one with some glass you will still have a door but the feel will be more open

Thank you all for the suggestions and info. I'm gonna start with the mudroom and add the glass door to the basement if it still needs some elevation. Thank you again!!

You wouldn't need a door at the bottom of the stairwell now that we know it is finished heated space.

True. I just worry about noise while in the family room since the pool table and double doors to the deck are right at the bottom of the basement stairs. My husband loved the ideas of the garage door swinging out rather than in too. Definitely gonna add that to the list. I love Houzz!!

We had the same door situation from our garage door except it was b) garage door a) laundry room c) coat closet. We got rid of the coat closet door and put drywall there and it became added space to the other side of the wall (our kitchen is on that opposite side) and made that into added space in the pantry. It's so much better to have fewer doors there, less of a traffic jam now. For us, the former coat closet was already too small anyways and didn't even fit a normal sized hanger on the rod, it was too shallow.

That's a fab idea to drywall and flip the space. For us the opposite side of that wall is our kitchen but all of our appliances are on the opposite side of it. It's actually up against an under utilized wall not far from our kitchen table. I've often wondered what I could use that space for if I did flip it. Oversized wine fridge? Hmmm. Perks.
