Also seen as mudroom.
A side or back door entryway that acts as a barrier between outdoors and indoors, where coats and shoes or boots can be removed and thus keep dirt out of the main house. Often seen in farmhouses. Usually has a concrete or linoleum floor, sometimes with a floor drain. May have a bench to sit on while removing heavy boots and hooks to hang up outerwear.
