Summer is here, and that means more time spent outdoors. But with all the coming and going, it can be hard to keep your mudroom or entryway organized. Even though there may not be muddy snow boots and coats, there are sunscreen bottles, bathing suits, and sand toys taking up precious real estate in your mudroom or entryway. This blog post will give you some tips on how to get your mudroom or entryway summer-ready.
1. Declutter
The first step to organizing your mudroom or entryway is to declutter and de-clutter. Get rid of anything you don’t use or need, and put away anything that doesn’t belong in the mudroom or entryway. Especially before the summer, you want to move your winter gear to an out-of-the-way place like a high shelf or a coat closet. Going forward, keep your mudroom or entryway clean and organized on a regular basis. This will help to prevent clutter from building up.
2. Designate a spot for everything
Once you’ve decluttered, it’s time to designate a spot for everything. This will help you keep your mudroom or entryway organized and free of clutter. It may work well for you to have beach bags for each family member with their bathing suit, towel, water shoes, and sunscreen on a hook. Alternatively, you may find that you want to have a bin for each category of items (one for sunscreen bottles, one for water shoes, etc.) Think about what has worked for you when storing your winter gear and apply that same formula to your summer gear.
3. Use baskets and bins
Baskets and bins are a great way to organize small items like goggles, pool toys, and sand toys.
4. Install hooks
Hooks are a great way to hang bags and towels. They can also be used to store keys, sunglasses, and other small items. You can also hang an over-the-door shoe organizer like the one featured in this post to corral these items.
5. Get a mat
A mat is a great way to catch dirt and sand from shoes. It can also help to keep your mudroom or entryway looking clean and organized.
By following these tips, you can easily organize your mudroom or entryway for summer. This will help you keep your home looking neat and tidy, and it will make it easier to find what you need when you need it. For more mudroom tips, click here.
