Ideas on mud room walls

[Bushwacked]

Soooo when we built the mud room we had a great idea for in the wall storage. Brooms and mops and stuff. Thing ls we though would be small enough. However all the mounting options we found don’t really help keep things clean looking and in the wall. 

first idea we had was a cork board door that we could pin stuff to if we needed. Well with having a door on there doesn’t leave much room at all. So the cork board (left) is just sitting there waiting to be turned into a smaller board for my daughters room to tack stuff onto it. 
 

 

do y’all have any ideas on getting stuff in there? Mounting hardware? Would it be ok for some stuff to stick out a little?

Interesting room design/dilemma!

For starters, if things stick out a little, it is what is is.  Unless you find a product that works that also fits your space..  Our vacuum lives in a spare bedroom for this very reason.

As for tool holding, I came across these recently from the fire fighting industry for mounting tools on the trucks that looked pretty cool..  I've seen them on the trucks but, haven't had the chance to really test drive them..

These work well. Our vet also uses something similar on his exam table to hold the dog leash in place.

Mud room the place in the house that holds all the crap you don’t want seen.  I don’t mean this in a mean way, but you can build stuff.  Find creative ways that meets your needs. Buy some hooks, and see what works.  If the handle is to long, you could drill a hole for the handle.  Or if you want to spend money, slat wall may work.

We don’t have basements either so it’s hard for me to relate. Here, it’s backpacks in the kids rooms and muddy shoes on the back porch. 

[Bushwacked]

Thanks guys I’ll take a look! 
 

hah! Coop I’ve never had a basement either. Must be nice to have that extra space. 

[Tmize]

Both my houses have had basement an you just tend to buy more crap. If you have extra no matter how much extra you think it is you will fill it up an wonder where it all went. 
 

I’ll be starting a mud room type build in our garage here this winter. My wife has been designing for close to 2 years now.

I think what kev showed would work better. We have the once’s that coop linked an they work great for about a year then you just have to keep fiddling with them to lock in place. Of course we have kids an they could have just broke them an I just haven’t noticed enough. 🤔

Hah! after reading Tmize comment I will skip this one for now since I have a 7 and 5 year old so they need to be a little tougher.

ordered 1 of these to test out and see how it goes. will order more if they work as good as they look to in the pictures.

 

Will let you know my thoughts once they get installed ... they show up on Thursday so I think Friday I should have time to get to it.

If it can be broke, kids will figure out how to do it by (accident)😆
