Why Your Mudroom Needs a Wooden Entryway Bench

Our mudrooms are one of the most overlooked areas when we decorate our homes. It’s understandable. Only family and close friends will use it or see it. However, since we use it several times a day, we think that it should be utilized to its fullest potential. The constant usage is why we recommend the addition of an entryway bench for your mudroom. Having a wooden entryway bench will make your life, and cleanup easier.

Spring is right around the corner and that means the snow will be melting and the muck will follow. Every time you enter your home through your mudroom, you are tracking in snow and ice on your boots. Soon, that snow will turn into mud and a mess. Adding a wooden entryway bench will give you a spot to sit, and will keep the mud and grime in one spot.

Ease Your Struggle with Outer Wear

If you’re like us, you might lean against the washer or dryer or even the wall as you remove your boots. It's a temporary solution, of course, and we recommend something that will add ease, and style to your entryway.

We know how much the comfort of a wooden entryway bench in your mudroom would enhance your life. You could plop yourself down and enjoy the ease of removing your boots or putting them on before you leave the house. If you have little ones who need help with their outdoor clothing during our Edmonton winter months, a wooden entryway bench is essential to furnishing for your mudroom.

Benches also work great for holding your parcels, bookbag(s), lunch totes, purses, or briefcases no matter which direction you’re headed.

Various Styles: Simple or Backed

We offer a wide variety of designs and woods, so you can choose a wooden entryway bench perfect for your style.

  • Simple – Some of our most popular benches are a simple heavy wooden plank atop four sturdy legs. These benches provide rugged seating that won’t take too much room if space is tight for a wooden entryway bench in your mudroom.
  • Backed – Some benches offer a variety of backs, and certain styles have arms. A backed wooden entryway bench can be placed against the wall of your mudroom and provide a place to drape a coat or scarf while offering support to those managing their outerwear. One style that we have is designed with poles or branches for coats. If you are just now equipping your mudroom, this style might save installing coat hooks or a shelf on the wall.

We would love to help you choose the perfect bench. Stop by today and let’s enhance your mudroom and life with a wooden entryway bench.
