A mudroom is something you'd find more on the east coast than on the west coast and it is a space that you come in from, especially if there is bad weather. This is where you would take off your boots, coat, shoes, and clean the dirt off your shoes before you went into the house. A lot of times it's where the shoes, coats, umbrellas all sorts of all weather gear are kept. It's also another great space for clutter and for having things that just don't even belong there.
