Organized Rear-Entry Foyers

Rear Entry Foyers! Some call them mudrooms. Do you really want to enter your home through a 'mud' room? In either case, as the most often used entrance into the home, coming in from the garage can no longer be viewed primarily as "utilitarian". The front entry foyer is designed to be something special, as much (or more!) attention should be paid to the rear foyer.

 

Things to consider in a well designed rear entry foyer include: 

 

A rear-entry foyer can de-stress your mornings and home-comings by eliminating clutter that may otherwise accumulate in the kitchen or family room.

 

Storage.  Beyond the expected coat closet, what about all the "stuff" you carry in with you? A "drop zone" is ideal for liberating your kitchen from such clutter!

 

Convenience.  A seat or bench for removing shoes. Insignificant? Buyers don't think so!  


 

Special amenities. Do you have pets - cats or dogs? Think about adding a pet zone to the rear foyer. When shopping, how often to you bring home bulk items. If you do where do you put them? Think about bulk item storage. 

 

"Spending some extra time and money planning an efficient, well-organized rear foyer will save the entire family considerable stress for years to come."  [More...]
