Hopefully upon your return you have a mudroom or, a place to drop all the boots, gloves and, hang your hats and coats. Most newer homes, especially in our part of the country, have mudrooms. If your house is an older one or, the builder just decided not to have one to cut down on his cost there are many wonderful ways to make your own without adding on an addition.
If you walk right into your living room a simple dresser, a narrow sofa table or, a bench with a mirror or hooks above it is a great place to drop your gloves and underneath you can place a simple boot tray. You can purchase basic rubber or metal boot trays that you can paint. A leopard print, family name or, a fun quote painted on the "floor" of the tray will make it look like part of the decor at times when there are no boots in it. Simple hooks on the wall or an old fashion coat rack can be an easy solution to hang the wet coats so they can drip dry and them moved to a closet at a later time. The icing on the cake for your "mudroom" is a great area rug. Which acts as a "landing pad" and grounds the area so people get the idea of wiping their feet and taking their boots off. There are many fun and inexpensive indoor-outdoor area rugs that could fit the bill.They can be switched out for whatever the season is.

These are basic mudroom ideas however, if you have the space and funds, built in cabinets with seating, hooks for coats and hats and, built in shelves for shoes underneath is the ideal set up.
