Q: Is an entryway a mudroom?

• <div>While you may hear entryways referred to as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-add-mudroom-my-house.htm">mudrooms</a>, there are some differences. Entryways are often the entrance point to the house from a guest&rsquo;s perspective, which is why they&rsquo;re off the front door. Mudrooms are less formal entrances that are more for the people living in the home, which is why mudrooms are often attached to garages or the side or rear of the house. Entryways are also more formally decorated, while mudrooms are often all about utility.</div>

Question 1

How does a built-in closet affect the value of a home?

Accepted Answer

•

The addition of a properly installed built-in closet will generally make a home more competitive on the market and increase its sales price. If, however, you are converting an existing room into a walk-in closet, it will likely drive the value downward. The balance between utility and value is hard to get right, but generally speaking, if you add utility with a built-in closet that doesn’t detract much from the square footage of the room, then you’ll likely add value to your home.

Question 3

What makes a perfect laundry room?

Accepted Answer

•

The features you choose for your laundry room to make it perfect depend largely on how you'll use the space, the size of your family, and their laundry needs. A perfect laundry room will have ample storage space, a clothes washer and dryer that are large enough for your needs and have good convenience features, and enough room to move around and work with enough countertop space to make laundry chores as easy as possible.

Question 4

How do I prevent closet shelves from sagging?

Accepted Answer

•

To prevent sagging, consider both the material and the span of the shelf. Using sturdy materials such as plywood or solid wood can provide better support than particleboard. Additionally, limiting the shelf span to 36 inches or less can reduce the risk of sagging. For longer shelves, incorporating center supports or brackets can offer additional reinforcement.
