[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never had one and am not too interested.  I feel like it is just a place for clutter to build.  We have a coat closet and hooks.  I keep them relatively clear esp when guests are coming. Shoes have a spot but only the ones worn regularly.  Others go in bedrooms.  I think the mudroom would be a mess with much less incentive to be organized.   I will add that I live in a 1960s home.  I think people that like older homes just know that  they are giving up certain things for others.[/quote]

People in the 1960s had less stuff and probably weren't less happy because of it.  That being said, I'd have to think hard about a house without a coat closet (or space to create one).  My house growing up lacked one, and we had to squeeze by all the coats hanging on the wall just to get in the front door.

I think a lot depends on the flow of your entryway and how formal your house is.  Without a "mudroom," would a bench with baskets underneath it look out of place?  If you usually enter the house from a garage, can you put cubbies in there?  And, muddy boots aside, is it possible to just have everyone take their stuff to their own rooms instead of shedding it inside the front door?  [/quote]
