Your pet is a part of your family, so why leave them out when it comes to home renovation plans? Pet-friendly mudrooms are an excellent way to give you space to dedicate to pet-centric tasks while streamlining general upkeep and making your life easier. These innovative mudroom ideas will balance practicality, style, and convenience–ensuring your individuality isn’t lost at the hands (or should we say “paws?”) of your four-legged friends.
Keeping Fido fresh is no easy task. Especially in the winter, washing your dog indoors with traditional bathtubs and sinks can lead to plumbing issues or an uncomfortable experience for you and your beloved pet. Dedicating a space in your mudroom or laundry room to pet grooming will ultimately keep the rest of your home looking (and smelling) clean and tidy.
Additionally, accessories such as hand showers, shelves and drains will significantly improve the quality of your mudroom, giving you the most payoff along the way.
Dog Washing Stations
The Linwald Dog Washing Station allows you to create a custom corner to bathe your dog without putting strain on your body or wearing out existing installations. Available in two sizes to accommodate different breeds of up to 58 pounds, this dog washing station features a 9” basin that lets you easily wash hard-to-reach corners of your pet, all while keeping the water contained. Its versatility also makes it a must-have in pet parents’ mudrooms, as it can be installed on an elevated platform or the floor.

Alternate Uses: Mop Sink Functionality
While the Linwald is perfect for creating pet-friendly mudrooms, it doubles as a convenient mop or utility sink. Designed to rinse mops and drain dirty water, utility sinks are commonly seen in the janitorial spaces of work complexes, apartments, or schools. However, utility sinks have recently been gaining traction in single-family homes to improve cleanliness and mudroom performance.
One of the most critical components of your dog washing station is your hand shower. For optimum functionality, we recommend one with a slide bar, like our Lowden Multifunction Hand Shower, as this feature allows the user to temporarily mount the spout in a convenient location along the wall. Additionally, the Lowden comes with three spray settings that are controlled by the touch of a button, enabling mid-wash stream changes. To complement the Lowden, our Vassor Pressure Balance Valve Trim allows you to customize the temperature of the water in a way that looks and feels luxurious to the touch.
Perfect for keeping shampoos or treats within reach, open shelving or shelf brackets allow you to store pet-parent must-haves wherever necessary. In this dog room, for example, our Wellston Iron Shelf Brackets support up to 22 pounds, giving you plenty of opportunities to store towels, brushes, toys, and other grooming essentials.
While your pet-friendly mudroom puts four-legged family members at the forefront of design plans, it’s important to remember the human components of your home as well. In any mudroom, the sink area is your one-stop shop to rinse muddy boots, wash hands, and even fill your pet’s food and water bowls. When designed with both animals and people in mind, this location will flourish into an all-purpose space that benefits every member of the family.
Regardless of your pet parenthood status, farmhouse sinks elevate any mudroom or laundry room. In this space, for example, our 24” Fournier Farmhouse Sink is made from 16-gauge, 304-grade stainless steel, making it a durable choice for standing up to everyday wear and tear. In addition to its resilience, stainless steel is a great option for those looking for a low-maintenance sink. Easy to clean, the Fournier comes in a range of single or double-bowl configurations, allowing you to customize its fit based on your specific needs.
While the farmhouse sink is the most popular choice in mudrooms, other options can easily fulfill the same demands. Perfect for small mudrooms, bar and prep sinks take up little space while ensuring you have a place to rinse dirty tools and shoes. Alternatively, traditional kitchen sinks offer similar functionality but require more space for installation.
Faucets
Your mudroom sink won’t live up to its full potential without an accompanying faucet. For a streamlined look, this mudroom features our Ravenel Pull-Down Faucet with Concealed Sprayer. This all-in-one centerpiece boasts a dual-action head that quickly switches between an aerated stream and a powerful spray, making it a great candidate for hosing away dried mud. Additionally, its nylon hose allows you to rinse hard-to-reach nooks and crannies with ease.
Of course, your faucet should meet your individual style and demands, so please consult our Kitchen Faucet Buying Guide to find the perfect fit.
A luxury for both the kitchen and the mudroom, pot fillers streamline any chore that requires a frequent water source. As seen here, our Contemporary Wall-Mount Pot Filler cleverly creates a pet-centric space by directly joining internal plumbing to the water bowls below.
While the installation requires more logistics, a pot filler can provide added convenience. Especially for homeowners with pets who are looking to age in place, this install allows you to fill your dog or cat’s bowls without bending over multiple times. Additionally, pot fillers can reduce complications caused by dwindling dexterity or joint pain.
As an extra precaution, linear drains, such as our Effendi Linear Shower Drain, can be used to prevent accidental flooding. Complete with a removable grate, this easy-to-clean accent blends in with your floor, offering seamless function wherever it is installed.
Perfect for bringing your mudroom together, hardware and other accents signify the completion of your space and bring your vision fully to life. While many pet owners put their furry friends first, we believe it is important to balance style and functionality, ensuring that this space is equally yours as it is your pet’s. Additionally, hardware often acts as the mediator between your dog or cat and harmful toxins and cleaning supplies, giving you peace of mind when you're away from home.
Entrance Sets
The entryway to your mudroom is often the first point of contact from the outdoors. Choosing the correct entrance set establishes a welcoming aura to your space and ensures your home is locked and secured. In this space, our Aurick Solid Brass Entrance Door Set complements the dog room’s modern look, all while promising safety at every turn.
Coat Hooks
In any mudroom, coat hooks serve as a multi-function accent that keeps essentials off the ground and away from your pet. As seen in the entryway, our Triple Iron Coat Hook allows you to hang multiple pet leashes and outwear in a convenient location. Alternatively, robe hooks or single and double coat hooks achieve a similar result, depending on how many items you wish to keep within reach.
Cabinet pulls and knobs are an easy way to upgrade any pet-friendly mudroom or laundry room. A solution to all your storage woes, cabinet hardware gives you access to everyday essentials while keeping your pet out of kibble, gardening supplies, and more. As seen here, our Avignon Solid Brass Cabinet Pulls and Faustine Cylinder Cabinet Knobs offer an understated, matte black touch to the built-in cabinetry.
For pets with a knack for opening cabinet doors, or as we call them, “Hairy Houdinis,” consider other options like cabinet latches or individual cabinet locks for added security.
