For a Minnesota horse farm, Emily Pueringer Design Studio went for a British barn vibe in this mudroom that’s part of a new-build home. Wine red coat cabinets with horseshoe cutouts and V-groove wainscoting topped with a carved rope-like molding detail nod to the equestrian surroundings. Arto Brick makes a durable flooring surface, and botanical wallpaper with deep color adds energy and personality.

This Paris home by Un Autre Ton highlights a great solution for anyone who doesn’t have a full-on mudroom. A compact built-in stands just inside the front door, partitioning the entry from the living room and creating a modified mudroom. The unit includes a mirror, storage compartments and a small bench with a curved detail that eases traffic flow. Wood slats add a touch of warmth and further separate the area while allowing light and views through. Burgundy paint on the built-in, walls and ceiling further sets the area off and feels fitting for the home’s French locale.
