Laundry room, Pantry and Mudroom combo

6 years ago

I've got a space that comes in from the garage that's about about 11'2 x 8'6 that goes into the kitchen. I can't figure out how to configure the space so that its efficient as a laundry room, pantry and mudroom.

For the laundry area, I'd like to have a washer, dryer, sink and some sort of drying solution for hand washed clothing.

For the pantry area, I'd like it to be big enough to store all my food as well as a little island if possible.

For the mudroom area, I'd like there to be some hooks for jackets and cubbies for shoes, maybe a small closet if possible.

I'm attaching a picture for reference. The dimensions are 11'2 horizontal and 8'6 vertical. The door leading into the kitchen is a pocket door and the door coming in from the garage opens into the space.

How many people will be passing through? Kids? What kind of gear? Boots or flip-flops? Mittens or ball caps? How much food? Costco-sized packs?

Most of the time it will be just 2-3 adults with visits from kids and grandkids. Gear will be winter jackets and boots to flip-flops as we experience all 4 seasons. This will be the only real pantry in the house where extra or large pots/pans are planned to be kept, costco-sized food packs, small appliances, toilet paper, small fridge, etc. Laundry room needs to have air drying solution for clothes as well as a wash basin and even some sort of ironing area. Am I asking too much for the amount of space that I have? lol. :-)

My laundry/mud room is ~8'x11'. Just so you can see how my stuff fits:

On the left wall I have a small refrigerator with a cabinet above it and a shallow closet (24" wide, 12"deep) where I hide my mops and brooms. Hope that helps!

I don’t think you’ll have enough room for an island with everything on the perimeter taking up space... unless it’s on wheels
