Closets & Storage

Mudroom and Storage Cabinetry in Chicago

Entry storage has to handle a lot — coats, bags, boots, kids' gear — and it has to look like it belongs to the house. We build mudrooms and storage cabinetry that functions well and holds up.

What we build

  • Mudroom cabinetry with upper cabinets, cubbies, and bench storage
  • Primary and secondary closets with real cabinet construction
  • Walk-in closets — hanging, shelving, drawers, and center islands
  • Laundry room cabinetry
  • Hallway and entry storage

What to send us to get started

  • Wall and ceiling dimensions
  • What needs to be stored — coats, shoes, sports gear, bags
  • Any bench height or cubby size preferences
  • Finish direction

Mudroom cabinetry often happens alongside a kitchen renovation or home addition. We can coordinate timing and delivery with your general contractor.

Common questions

What is the difference between your cabinetry and a wire closet system?
Wire and modular systems are adjustable but built to generic dimensions. Our cabinetry is built to the room's exact size with furniture-grade construction — finished interiors, solid joinery, and hardware that lasts. A wire system is fine as a temporary solution. Our cabinetry is built to stay.
Can you build a mudroom with upper cabinets, cubbies, and a bench?
Yes — that is one of the most common configurations we build. Upper cabinet storage, open cubbies sized for coats and bags, a bench seat, and either a drawer bank or lower cabinet storage below. We size the cubbies around the number of people who will use the space.
Do you build walk-in closets?
Yes. Walk-in closets use the same furniture-grade cabinetry as the rest of our work — real cabinet boxes with finished interiors, rather than wire shelving on adjustable tracks. Double-hanging, single-hanging, drawer banks, shoe shelving, and a center island if the space allows.
Do you build laundry room cabinetry?
Yes. Upper and lower cabinets around a washer and dryer setup, with a folding surface and any sorting bin or sink integration that fits the space.
