If organization is at the top of your 2026 goals, you aren’t alone. I, myself, have also been looking to declutter in the spirit of the New Year. And one place to start is the mudroom. Luckily, I have a plethora of mudroom storage ideas (think: coat racks, entryway benches and even free-standing shoe storage cabinets), and some are as low as $8. And once you get your entryway in check, your entire house will feel revitalized (trust me!).
Even if you aren’t looking to totally reorganize, something like the Muddy Mat will keep your home looking sparkling clean. So, shop my top mudroom storage ideas below!
Mudroom Storage Ideas, Starting at $8
- Basic Necessity: At a loss for hooks? This basic coat rack has you covered, especially when you have company over. Featuring eight tri-hooks, it’s heavy-duty enough for all your guests’ coats, hats, purses and more — $40
- Hat Trick: If you’re big on hats, you know storing them can be extremely annoying. But this hat rack will keep them all in one place by the door. Designed to hold multiple baseball caps at once, it’s made of durable stainless steel and attaches to the wall, for the sake of saving space — $8
- Clean Up: Like my in-laws, you might keep a portion of your cleaning supplies in your mudroom. But save a little space with a mop and broom organizer. With five ball slots and six hooks, it’ll keep your mops, brooms and more out of the way in your entryway — $20
- Shoe Secret: If you’d prefer to keep your shoes concealed, a free-standing shoe storage cabinet will do the trick. Perfect for apartments, it hugs the wall and flips open with two spacious drawers to save space and keep narrow entryways as accessible as possible — $106
- Cubby Madness: If you’d rather see your shoe selection on your way out, opt for this shoe storage bench. It has open cubbies for all your shoes, as well as a bench you can sit on while lacing up — $80
- Party On: Keep your jackets, shoes, hats and more in order with this hall tree entryway bench. It features separate sections for everything your mudroom could possibly need. Meanwhile, the LED lights actually synchronize with music to add some pizazz to your entryway (love that!) — $160
- Shoe Mount: Another way to organize shoes with space in mind is by using mounted racks. Measuring 30 inches long, these hold quite a bit of footwear on the wall, keeping narrow spaces accessible — $70
- Closet Space Saver: Keep all that outerwear in check with this two-pack of hanging organizers. Featuring six wood balls each, they’re perfect for hanging hoodies, sweaters, jackets and scarves to conserve space in a crowded closet — $13
- In Disguise: This shoe storage bench isn’t just a bench. It also opens up, adding space for you to store hats, shoes, sporting equipment and more. Meanwhile, it also serves as a relatively comfortable seat. A win-win — $90
- Mud-Free: Although the Muddy Mat isn’t necessarily a storage solution, it prevents friends, family and pets from tracking mud into your home. It’s nonslip and great for trapping dirt and grime before guests step into the rest of your house — $45
