Mudroom cabinets designed around wet gear, not a catalogue photo

An Edmonton mudroom does real work from October to April. Boots come in with snow and road salt, parkas are twice the bulk of a spring jacket, and the kids' hockey bag needs somewhere other than the hallway floor.

So we plan for drying first. Open cubbies and hooks where wet things go, closed lockers for what's already dry, and a boot zone with a tray you can lift out and rinse. Lockers get vent slots or an open top so air moves through them.

  • Bench 17–19 in. high, 16–18 in. deep, so you can sit and pull boots on
  • Locker depth 18–20 in. for a parka on a hook, 24 in. if you want a rod
  • Boot cubbies 10 in. tall for shoes, 18–20 in. for winter boots
  • Hooks at 60–66 in. for adults, 40–48 in. for kids

What a mudroom wall is made of: lockers, bench, hooks

01Per person

Mudroom lockers

Tall sections, 18–24 in. wide, one per person. Open with hooks, or with a door if you'd rather not see the coats.

02Sit & change

Mudroom bench with storage

A solid seat, reinforced underneath, with cubbies or a lift-out boot tray below. Can run between lockers or along a separate wall.

03Load rated

Hooks

Two heights: adult and kid. Through-bolted into a backer rail, not just the cabinet back, so a loaded hockey bag stays put.

04Seasonal

Upper cubbies

Above 84 in. for out-of-season gear, or lower bins for toques and mitts that need to dry overnight.

05Daily

Drop zone

A shallow shelf or drawer by the door for keys, mail and the dog leash. A charging shelf if an outlet is close.

Mudroom questions

01What are good mudroom ideas for a small entry?+

With 4–6 ft of wall, skip full lockers: a bench with boot cubbies, two rows of hooks at adult and kid height, and a shelf of bins above works better. Put a shallow drop-zone shelf by the door for keys. Our blog post on mudroom ideas for Alberta winters has more layouts.

02How much do mudroom cabinets cost in Edmonton?+

A typical 8 ft wall with a bench, three lockers and hooks is about $2,500–$6,000 installed, CAD, before GST. Painted finishes, doors on every locker and upper cubbies move it up. Try the estimator above for your wall.

03Will wet boots damage the cabinets?+

Not if the boot zone is planned for it. We use sealed melamine edges low down, keep the bench base off the floor or on a plinth you can wipe, and add lift-out trays that catch meltwater. Painted MDF at floor level is the finish we'd steer you away from.

04How much space do I need?+

A useful bench-and-hook wall starts at about 4 ft. Full lockers need 18–20 in. of depth plus room to stand in front, so plan on a 42 in. clear walkway.

05Can you work around a heat register or a door swing?+

Yes. We measure registers, outlets, switches and door swings and design around them. If a register has to move, we mark it for your HVAC trade.

06Open lockers or doors?+

Open lockers dry faster and cost less. Doors look calmer. Many families pick open for the kids and doors for the adults, or vented doors for both.

07How long does it take?+

About 3–4 weeks of production after design approval, then 1–2 days to install.
