If you don’t have enough space for a mudroom, try crafting a DIY bench at the awkward corner behind your front door. It would surely do in a pinch. Well, actually, you can purchase this bench in many “IKEA like stores” if you’re not up for any woodwork challenge anytime soon.

Anyway, to make this bench, you’re going to need 3/4” MDF sheets, 4 pine corbels, pine boards which are cut into strips of 17 inches, 10 inches, and 3.5 inches, MDF crown moldings, nail filler, wood glue, and screws. More about that in description area.

Since you will build three open shelves underneath the bench, you need to get wire baskets first before assembling the pieces because the shelves have to be 2 or 3 inches bigger than the baskets. So, measure the length, width, and height of the baskets, and apply it to the boards.

You can paint the bench and the wainscoting paneling the color of your choice if you want. But here is my advice, paint it the same hues as your trims and baseboards. It will bring harmony to your mudroom.

To make this bench, you’re going need to make the sides of the bench first. And to do this, you need to cut four 2×8 pieces into 17″ each. Add two pocket holes to two of those four pieces.

They must be 9” longer than the first side. Then, assemble the pieces using wood glue and screws.

Once the bench is done, you can now assemble the pieces of tree hall frame and backing to bench top, and add shelf and corbels. Last, here comes the most exciting part – the finishing. For a more rustic look, if that’s your thing, you can stain and coat it with polyurethane.
