Custom mudroom built-ins are made-to-order cabinetry systems designed for entryways, garage entries, and drop zones. They typically combine bench seating, cubbies, hooks, lockers, closed shoe storage, and upper cabinets so everything has a dedicated place. Unlike freestanding furniture, custom mudroom built-ins are sized to your wall dimensions and finished to look integrated with the home.

Yes. We offer both framed and frameless RTA cabinet boxes that can be used as the foundation for custom mudroom built-ins and entryway storage. Many customers build the “cabinet base” with RTA cabinets and then use trim, panels, and hardware to complete the built-in look.

Both can work well for custom mudroom built-ins—your choice usually depends on the look you want and how you plan to trim the project. Framed cabinets use a face frame on the front of the cabinet box. Frameless cabinets are full-access (no face frame) for a cleaner, more modern opening.

Framed cabinets (face frame):

• Traditional look and feel
• Pairs nicely with classic mudroom trim details
• Great for shaker-style and raised panel doors

Frameless cabinets (full access):

• Modern look with clean lines
• Full-access openings can improve storage usability
• Popular for sleek, minimal entryway built-ins

There’s no single “standard” because every entry is different. A good mudroom built-in is sized around traffic flow, door swing, and what you actually need to store (shoes, backpacks, coats, sports gear, pet supplies).

Practical planning checkpoints:

• Measure overall wall width, ceiling height, and maximum usable depth
• Note door swing, vents/returns, outlets, and baseboard/trim
• Decide how many “stations” you need (one per person is common)
• Balance open cubbies (quick access) with closed storage (visual calm)

A mudroom built-in typically includes cabinet boxes plus the finishing components that create an integrated, architectural look. Depending on your design, a project may include doors, drawer fronts, shelving, panels, and trim-ready fillers.

Common components customers combine: cabinet boxes, cabinet doors, and drawer boxes.

Costs vary because mudroom built-ins range from a simple bench-and-cubbies setup to full wall-to-wall locker systems with drawers, doors, and tall cabinets. The biggest drivers are overall size, cabinet count, door style/finish, and storage features (drawers, pull-outs, adjustable shelving).

Main cost drivers:

• Number of locker bays / stations
• Closed cabinetry vs mostly open cubbies
• Door style and finish selection
• Drawer count and interior organization
• Trim and panel details for a fully built-in look

Yes—custom mudroom built-ins are worth it when you want a dedicated drop zone that stays organized and fits the space cleanly. A well-designed mudroom reduces clutter at the front door and makes daily routines easier for families, homeowners, and busy households.

Mudroom built-ins are especially valuable when:

• Your entryway is small and needs efficient storage zones
• You want a “place” for shoes, coats, backpacks, and gear
• You prefer a clean look with closed cabinets instead of open piles
• You’re planning for resale and want a feature buyers notice immediately

Well-designed mudroom built-ins can add value by improving storage, function, and the “finished” feel of an entryway. Buyers tend to notice practical storage upgrades because they change how a home lives day-to-day.

Mudrooms take a beating, so durability matters. The best materials and finishes for mudroom cabinets depend on your look (painted vs stained) and how much moisture, dirt, and traffic the entry gets.

Practical mudroom finish tips:

• Choose durable door finishes that clean easily (especially for families and pets)
• Use closed cabinets for shoes and gear if you want the entry to feel calmer
• Plan a wipeable bench surface if the space doubles as a drop zone

If you’re matching your mudroom built-ins to the rest of the home, start by selecting door style here: cabinet door styles and finishes.

Timelines depend on project scope, door finish selection, and shipping distance. Most projects require time for planning, manufacturing, shipping, and then on-site assembly/installation.

To keep a mudroom project on schedule:

• Confirm wall measurements early (including ceiling height and baseboards)
• Upload drawings or inspiration photos with your request
• Decide door style and finish up front
• Share your deadline in the quote request

If you’re planning around a move-in date or contractor schedule, include that timeline in your quote request.

We manufacture custom cabinetry components for mudroom built-ins and ship nationwide. Installation is completed by your contractor, installer, or tradesperson so you can use the partner you trust locally.

To get an accurate quote, it helps to share your layout goals and basic measurements. At minimum, include:

• What you’re building (lockers, bench and cubbies, closed cabinets, shoe storage)
• Rough dimensions (overall width, height, depth)
• Photos of the space and any inspiration images
• Zip code (for shipping)
• Timeline or install date
