Summer in Michigan is full of activity—lake days, sports, gardening, hiking, and backyard barbecues. But with all that outdoor fun comes a lot of dirt, sand, and gear. That’s where a well-designed mudroom can make all the difference. At DJL Builders Inc. in Plymouth, MI, we help homeowners create functional, attractive spaces that keep messes in check and make daily life easier.
Think of your mudroom as your home’s front line of defense. It’s the place where sandy shoes, wet towels, muddy boots, and beach bags get dropped before tracking through the house. Adding or remodeling a mudroom helps protect your floors, keep clutter out of your main living areas, and create a smooth transition from outside to inside.
For busy families, especially in the summer, having designated cubbies, hooks, and benches makes staying organized feel effortless. Whether it’s a quick rinse of the dog after a walk or hanging up sports gear from the kids’ activities, a good mudroom gives you a space for it all. Plus, it creates a welcome routine that keeps everyone’s belongings in their place.
When designing a mudroom for summer, we recommend durable flooring, like tile or luxury vinyl plank, that can handle moisture and debris. Built-in storage is a must. Think open shelves for shoes, deep drawers for towels, and wall hooks for hats and beach bags. A utility sink or dog-washing station is another great addition, especially for outdoor enthusiasts or pet owners.
Natural light and ventilation are also important for keeping the space fresh, especially when dealing with damp items. You can even personalize the area with bright paint, fun wallpaper, or family-friendly chalkboards to make it inviting and cheerful. Don’t forget to include charging stations or storage for summer gadgets, such as bug zappers, portable fans, and outdoor games.
Summer may be messy, but your home doesn’t have to be. With the right mudroom setup, you can enjoy all your favorite seasonal activities without worrying about the cleanup. Whether you're renovating an entryway or building an addition, DJL Builders in Plymouth, MI, can help create a practical and stylish mudroom that fits your family’s lifestyle.
