Mud rooms are a great feature in homes that create a barrier between the outdoors and indoors. Generally located adjacent to the garage or an entry door, a mud room is an area where people entering the home can remove sodden and dirty layers. A well-designed mud room will have hooks and rack for clothes and shoes as well as benches to allow a person to sit down while removing their shoes. A mud room is an additional touch that makes keeping your house clean, organized and decluttered a whole lot easier. Here are a few new homes in Atlanta that include mud rooms:
