mudroom
Dirty shoes depot
A mudroom is a small room or entryway near a home's exterior door, designed for removing and storing dirty shoes, wet coats, and outdoor gear before entering the main living space.
Common in colder climates where tracking in snow, mud, or rain is a concern: Leave your boots in the mudroom.
