Mudroom lockers and entry storage in Fairfax, Virginia
A custom mudroom in Fairfax, Virginia is where coats, shoes, bags and wet gear live so they do not migrate through the house. Nova Custom Closet builds sturdy boxes, a bench, hooks and a catchall — designed for bulky items, weather and the pile of shoes that never stays by the door on its own.
Caring for the mess is work. Digging up items stored for a long time is worse. An efficient mudroom storage solution is designed to suit the household, whatever that mix is: pet feed, bookbags, food boxes you seldom use, heavy shoe piles.
We work with materials that take the strain of bulky items and withstand bad weather and rough use. Racks for shoes, hooks for jackets, catchall storage. Mudroom accessories — hooks, cubbies, baskets — mount to the same ¾-inch TFL we build in Chantilly. A hallway, a garage entry, or the wall beside the door can still take a bench when there is no dedicated mudroom.
The mess stops at the door
Mudrooms are key for keeping the home organized. Let the rest of the house stay clear with a functional drop zone: a place for coats, shoes, bags and the gear you need coming in or going out.
Pet feed, bookbags, seldom-used boxes, heavy shoe piles — a mudroom has to take strain and weather, not just look tidy in a photo. Closed cabinets for what should not be on display. Open cubbies so each person can find their own gear.

Benches, cubbies, hooks and shoe racks
Popular features are the ones that get used twice a day: a bench to sit on, cubbies and lockers per person, hooks for jackets, racks for shoes, baskets and catchall storage. We can add cabinets above so the seasonal gear leaves the floor.
Built-in benches with shoe storage underneath. Hooks and lockers assigned by person. Catchall drawers so the counter by the door stays clear. Hardware and baskets from the mudroom accessories catalog, specified in the 3D model.

Small entryways still get a mudroom

Was referred by a friend of mine to use Nova Closet and it was the best $2000 I have ever spent! I loved how I could see the designs and pricing during the first virtual meeting. My space is completely transformed.
Sarah AhmadFairfax, VA
I love my walk in closet. Great design choices from the color of closet to layout. Soft closing doors, place to put my jewelry, pull out scarves or belt rack. They listened to what I wanted.
