10 Of The Best Shoe Storage Ideas Picked By Our Editors

Even people who do not have many shoes understand the challenges of storing them neatly. Sometimes, simple hallway furniture can be enough to meet your shoe storage demands; in most cases, though, you will have to use some out of the box thinking. And here are 10 of the best shoe storage ideas picked by our editors:

Simple shoe storage cabinet

Obviously, if you are furnishing a hallway, the simplest shoe storage cabinet is a nice start. There are many different assemblies and materials to consider, while specially inclined shelves ensure great storage capacity and compact dimensions.

Wall moulding for your high heels

Wall moulding disguised to match the colour of your hallway wall can be used as shoe hanging racks — a perfect idea for those who would like to keep some of their fanciest high heeled shoes on display.

Old cupboards and display stands

Do not discard your old furniture quickly — think of customising an old cupboard or a display stand to a shoe storage unit. There are plenty of ways to give new life to old furniture — you can distress it or simply apply a new finish.

Rotating stands

 

Another incredibly great idea that will ensure quick and easy access to each shoe pair. Plus, rotating stands are usually very compact and can fill in the gaps between your furniture units.

Bespoke shelves to fill in the gaps

If the gaps are really small, bespoke shelves can be a better idea for filling in the gaps. Even if there are not gaps in the room, transparent wall fixed shelves can become great shoe storage units for a hallway.

Rattan baskets as organisers

A wall fixed stand with storage boxes can be spruced up with rattan baskets. These sweet units will help you organise the shoes and will give the stand a more stylish look.

Stairs turned into drawers

Definitely one of the most space efficient ideas — so, if you live in a house, you simply must give it some thought. Sure, it will require a bit of time and effort, but the result is totally worth the trouble.

Empty staircase as a cabinet

Another great idea for the lucky house owners is utilising the space below the staircase. Depending on the staircase, you can turn this empty space either into a very compact cabinet or in a quite spacious closet.

Extra racks in a wardrobe

Bedroom storage can also benefit from a little boost. The easiest thing to do would be to replace common lower shelves and equip the space with a metal shoe rack instead.

Careful shelves and hooks layers

In a fitted walk-in wardrobe, do not separate your shoes from your bags. Carefully display the first ones on shelves and the second ones — on hooks.

Finally, do not forget that apart from equipping your home with impressive shoe storage racks and cabinets, a lot will depend on how organised you are. This article will teach you a couple more tricks to keep your shoes neatly organised.
