  • Takes up a little space.
  • All shoes are on separate shelves and are clearly visible.
  • You can paint in any color suitable for the interior.

Important! Despite all the advantages, this method has a drawback - it is very difficult to keep order, especially if the family has children. It is difficult for kids to carefully get and put shoes in place. In addition, only clean and dry shoes should be put in the drawer.

How to store shoes if there is not enough space?

If you have a small apartment, then use all the empty niches and secluded places to store the shoe “arsenal”. We offer you some simple ideas to help organize your storage system:

  1. Slim cupboard. A special chest of drawers has three horizontal compartments and several vertical compartments. Shelves in the chest of drawers open 180 degrees, which is very convenient.

  3. Under the curtain on the bed. Of course, you can fold the boxes with shoes under the bed, but if the place is already taken, beat the bar around the perimeter of the bed, on which you can conveniently hang packages with shoes and shoes. If from above all the “wealth” is covered with a curtain, then the guests will not even guess about it.
  4. Moldings. If you still have excess moldings after the repair, then use them. Nail the moldings around the perimeter of the hallway or closet and hang on them high heel shoes.
  5. Hidden bookcase. If you don’t like the look of hanging shoes, then hide it on a shoe rack installed in a niche and curtain the arsenal with a curtain.
  6. Padded stool with a secret. Inside the ottoman you can store not only shoes, but also shoe care products and other little things.
  7. Boxes covered with fabric. If you do not have a ottoman, then borrow an idea and ordinary cardboard boxes sheathe with a cloth or bright oilcloth. Such boxes can be stored both in the closet and under the table. Homemade containers can be used as bedside tables or makeshift coffee tables.
  8. Wooden boxes. It is best to use boxes for wine, but ordinary boxes also work, just nail two diagonal crossbars. The bottom of the box can be removed and attached to the wall or placed vertically on the floor.
  9. Clothes hangers.
  10. Colored rubber bands. Fix durable multi-colored elastic bands on the wall and store sneakers or ballet shoes in them.
  11. Retractable shelving unit. If you have the opportunity to make a deep niche in the hallway wall, then use it for a retractable shelf.
  12. Cloth organizers. Use such systems to store small-sized shoes — slippers, ballet shoes, and low-shoe shoes. Hang the fixtures in the closet or on the back of the screen in the bedroom.
  13. Hangers for towels. These devices can be used to store slippers.
  14. Hooks on the wall. This option is good for laced sports shoes. Nail the decorative hooks in the hallway and hang children's shoes or men's shoes, securing them with laces.

  • For lovers of extraordinary solutions, we propose to create a glass drum with knitting needles, between which shoes of the same size will fit.You can make such a drum for every member of the family - your child will definitely like to spin such a drum, and the shoeing process will turn into a game.
  • If you have a balcony, you can organize a shoe storage system there using compact racks and bedside tables. But keep in mind that the balcony must be heated, as neither leather nor patent shoes can be kept in the cold.
  • Only store clean, dry shoes. In addition, it must be disinfected. For this purpose, use vinegar: soak a cotton swab in the product and leave it inside the shoe for the whole day.
