Why Louisville Homes Need a Great Mudroom
If you've lived through a Kentucky spring, you know the struggle. Rain, mud, and pollen make a mess of your entryway from March through May. A well-designed mudroom keeps the mess contained and your main living spaces clean.
Popular Mudroom Features
Built-in cubbies and lockers: Give every family member a dedicated spot for shoes, coats, and bags. Custom-built storage maximizes every inch of space.
Bench seating with shoe storage: A bench with pull-out drawers underneath keeps muddy boots hidden and organized.
Durable tile flooring: Porcelain or ceramic tile handles wet shoes and muddy paws without staining. We recommend large-format tiles with minimal grout lines for easy cleaning.
Coat hooks and key drops: Wall-mounted hooks at multiple heights work for adults and kids. A small shelf with a charging station keeps keys and phones in one place.
Pet washing station: Louisville's dog-friendly culture means muddy paws are a daily reality. A low-profile pet wash with a handheld sprayer is one of our most requested mudroom upgrades.
Where to Add a Mudroom
Not every Louisville home has space for a dedicated mudroom. Common solutions include converting a laundry room entry, enclosing a side porch, or carving space from an attached garage. S.W. Renovations evaluates your layout and recommends the most cost-effective approach.
Cost Range
Basic mudroom renovations (hooks, bench, tile floor) start around $3,000–$5,000. Full custom mudrooms with built-in cabinetry, pet stations, and new exterior doors run $8,000–$15,000.
