Since mudrooms have the potential to get very dirty, it is essential to choose the most appropriate flooring. After all, the purpose of the mudroom is to put on and remove all of your outside gear, which includes your soiled coats and muddy shoes. Therefore, you will want to install flooring in your entryway or mudroom that is durable, able to withstand moisture and dirt, as well as harmonize with the rest of your home’s interior.
Floor Mats in the Entry Way
If you are indecisive, you can consider placing floor mats in your mudroom. Mats offer a soft transition between the mudroom and the rest of your home while protecting the floors. They trap pollen, dirt, and other pollutants that can easily come into the house. Opt for a floor mat or rug that is made from a wool material. Wool is the best choice because it is naturally resistant to moisture, mold, and bacteria.
Easy to Clean
Flooring for your mudroom should be easy to clean. Select tiles that have a nonporous surface. Some easy-to-clean flooring types include ceramic tile or natural stone. Such flooring materials will last longer and are easy to maintain as well as environmental-friendly. Slate and porcelain tiles are also suitable for the mudroom since this area of the home will get a lot of traffic.
Luxury Vinyl
LVP is another ideal flooring option for your home’s mudroom. It is budget-friendly as well as durable. It can also mimic the look of traditional flooring options like hardwood and tile with added durability and low-maintenance properties.
