A great mudroom is first and foremost functional. Perhaps the hardest working room in the house, these spaces need to be flexible and durable, but there's nothing wrong with adding some style and beauty into the mix. These rooms stand up to wet, gritty conditions, exuberant child usage, and plenty of pet wear and tear over the years, and in a room where the outside comes in, the most important material is the floor. The best mudroom floor materials don’t absorb water, aren’t slippery and are easy to clean, making our Tile is an ideal choice.
In practice, the mudroom often does double duty as the entry to a home. Since it is a room our guest will see, keeping it well designed is worthwhile. In the mudroom below the homeowners have created a colorful rug out of field tiles and a few decorative borders. The floor is as tough as it is appealing.

As you have probably noticed, we love dogs here at Fireclay Tile, which is why we are crazy about the mudroom below's contemporary and functional dog washing station. The glass is tall enough to keep all the shaking isolated, and the space even doubles as a spot to rinse off muddy shoes or sandy feet from the beach.Image: Live Simply
For the look above try 3 x 6 field tile in our warm, white Tusk color with darker grout to accentuate the classic subway offset pattern.
