How Closed Locker Storage Hides Entryway Clutter…

Want to hide the clutter? I’ve found a few solutions for you…

1. Louvered Storage Lockers

Louvered Storage Lockers for a Super Clean Mudroom

These mudroom cabinets are very similar to the Shelton model above, except that (1) they have louvered doors, (2) they have one upper storage cubby instead of three and (3) they come in 4 different colors.

In addition, they feature 1 regular sized locker and two double-sized locker (notice the double doors). This offers more versatility but provides two separate lockers instead of three.

They are great at hiding clutter, and they look more like a fancy armoire than a functional mudroom.

Home Decorators Collection Royce All-in-One Mudroom CabinetHome Decorators Collection also makes a larger Royce “All-in-One” unit with enclosed cabinets, open storage space and a convenient built-in bench.

Compared to the lockers, it looks more like built-in cabinetry, yet you still get plenty of hidden storage space.

The Royce measures about 1 1/2 feet wider and about 6 inches taller. Therefore, you get significantly more storage space, not to mention the upgraded custom-built look. And, it doesn’t cost much more.

2. Shelton Storage Lockers

Home Decorators Collection makes a mudroom unit that is almost fully enclosed. No need to be neat and tidy when you don’t have to, right?

Now everyone can just throw their coats, backpacks, shoes and other gear into their mudroom locker and shut the door. Your front entryway or hallway will be free of mess and clutter. No effort required!

It’s called the Shelton Storage Locker, and it’s a really stylish piece of furniture.

In fact, if you add plants, photos and other home decor items in the top shelves, you can even conceal the fact that this unit is essentially a clutter-hider.

Two features that I really like about this mudroom unit are the molding on the trim and the recessed panels on the doors. These simple touches really upgrade the look of this furniture, and it really enhance the style of a front entryway.

The dark sections at the top of each locker door are actually mini chalkboards! These come in really handy for leaving messages for other people or reminders to yourself.

You can write on the inside or outside of the door, so you can get the functionality of the chalkboards without having to have writing on the exposed part of the cabinet.

Locker Storage Provides Lots of Options

Within each locker, there are two double coat hooks and two shelves. This gives you the option to hang items like coats or handbags or stow things like shoes, keys, sunglasses, wallets, electronics, etc.. You can see more closed locker storage ideas here.

Shelton Storage Locker DrawerAlternatively, you could use the bottom drawers for shoes or bags, but they are also handy for storing exercise gear, hats or notebooks. These drawers are on nice sliders too. Very handy and easy to use.

Decorate the top shelves or use them for additional storage. Many people get baskets to use as pull-out drawers to keep items neatly out-of-sight. Woven baskets can be very stylish as well.
