Try these clever storage ideas to clear your bedrooms and entryway if your shoes, boots, flats, and heels take up too much space.
I get a kick out of treating myself to a new pair of shoes. I fawn over exquisite shoes in every form and heel height. Where to store your purchases as well as those of the rest of the family is undoubtedly a difficulty, regardless of your preference for sparkly neon trainers or jeweled vintage shoes. Make your house a shoe-lover’s paradise by implementing these ten best storage ideas.
1. Hang up your heels
Don’t you think your color-blocked heels and lovely vintage stilettos are too good to keep from sight? So show off your amazing shoes to everyone. To make this hack “invisible,” you’ll need to paint a few molding strips the same color as your wall so you can hook them on your heels for an eye-catching display. And what better justification is there to go out and get additional shoes than to expand your already impressive “installation”?
2. Display cute footwear
This cleverly repurposes a piece of furniture and may be my favorite tip for keeping kids’ sneakers and sandals off the bedroom floor. Look for an old-fashioned wall cabinet with dividers or a set of cubbyholes, then fit a tiny pair of shoes into each one. It’s both fantastic storage and wall art all in one.
3. Tidy up the hallway
Our entrances become seriously disorganized as a result of the abundance of kicked-off school shoes, trainers, and pumps that accumulate in the hallways. Purchasing a slim shoe storage unit which is already available at many large retailers is necessary for this simple fix. Then, have a cabinet around it with doors you can close to conceal the entire store, to customize the item to your environment.
4. Layer with shelves
It’s true that if you’re the proud owner of an expensive collection of Christian Louboutins, Jimmy Choos, and Manolo Blahniks, you’ll need a productive and well-organized storage center to carefully stock your purchases. This owner had a special shoe wall created to fit the precise measurements of her footwear because she owned over 200 pairs of designer-label beauties.
Organize those shoes off the floor by installing white shelves in an alcove or cabinet for a simpler and less expensive do-it-yourself option.
5. Transform a cupboard
I adore this concept because it is simple and consistently performs admirably. The rows of slanted shelves have transformed a large linen closet or wardrobe into a massive shoe storage cabinet, with plenty of room underneath for higher boots. Sometimes the most brilliant ideas are the most straightforward ones.
6. File them away
This is a tried-and-true shoe trick that will undoubtedly create harmony and serenity among a jumble of disorganized shoes. Use the box the shoes came in, or spend a little more money on matching, consistent boxes for an even more efficient method to file things away in a manner that keeps dust and debris out of your priceless purchases. Remember to snap a picture of the shoes within to save having to tear open box after box as you’re rummaging through.
7. Clear it up
If you find that labeling white cardboard boxes takes too much time, consider storing your power heels, sneakers, and sandals in clear acrylic boxes. This will keep your shoes shielded from regular dirt and dust while allowing you to quickly see what’s within each box. In addition to being simple to handle, see-through plastic tubs are available in various sizes to meet your requirements.
8. Fill a narrow gap
With specialized shoe holders, you can use narrow, underutilized wall areas and easily showcase your collection. Don’t worry if you don’t have a walk-in closet; you can use the same approach to transform a corridor, an underused storeroom, or a spot beneath the stairs.
9. Make use of a rail
Due to their propensity to crumple and bend when crammed into a box or the bottom of a wardrobe, tall boots are notoriously hard to store. To hang boots in perfect order, this brilliant concept uses a simple mid-height rail and a few solid metal hangers with clips. There won’t be any more digging around for a matching pair of shoes because your treasured shoes will be hanging nicely in pairs and ready to be taken.
10. Disguise storage in a step
Alright, so to use this storage trick, you must first build and install it; but, after you do, you won’t need to. A wonderful storage addition to any house, pull-out stairs can accommodate an incredible quantity of shoes for the entire family.
