mud rooms
Dirty shoe areas
A mud room is a small entryway or utility room, typically between an exterior door and the main living space, where people remove dirty boots, wet coats, and outdoor gear before entering the home.
Common features include coat hooks, boot trays, and storage benches.
The name reflects its function as a buffer zone for tracking in mud and dirt: We added a mud room off the back door so the kids stop trampling through the kitchen.
