Shoe Storage Solutions

Welcome to our shoe storage solutions page! There are many types of organizational systems used for storing shoes, and they differ by color, style, design and most importantly space. When you are living in a city as opposed to a smaller town, you might want to find shoe storage solutions for small spaces as these may better utilize the amount of space that you are working with. Living in New York City as well as the suburbs I can really understand that different people will have radically different needs.

Some of the more posh styles and  brands will cost you more, but can be a conversation starter as people will become intrigued by them when noticing them as they are walking into the house. Hopefully, this will not be the only nicer piece of furniture that you have but is a good place to start. Although the economy is doing very well. with the right research anyone can find something awesome that works for them and is also proud to install into their residence.

Closet Shoe Storage Solutions

The are different types of designs available that can be installed within a closet. This is definitely a place where you can save some money, as most people are already looking for deals in this economy. Since almost nobody will be looking into your closet, the shoe collection should be kept safe but doesn't have to be in the most expensive model. There are many designs ranging from ones that are hanged off a wall and others that sit on the ground or are in a cabinet of some sort.

Whether you pick one manufactured out of wood, plastic, metal or fabric, it is totally up to you but keep in mind that the different types of materials will vary in durability. Some plastic models can be found in virtually any department store and do the job quite well. Tally up the number of shoes that you have so that you do not run out of space.

Shoe Storage Solutions Hallway

There are some great modern designs which can be found to install in the hallway. Many of the best known brands make their best items for this place as it is the one seen when first entering the house. It is recommended to get a sturdier model and one that looks great. I have seen some cheap but nice looking furniture at IKEA and it might work for those on a tighter budget.

Also included into this section would be the systems that fit under the stairs. They are a great way to utilize that space but if you are going to place your shoes in the basement or attic, make sure to get a system which holds out moisture and bugs as these are two factors that can greatly cut into the lifespan of your footwear.

Hanging Shoe Storage Solutions

The  hanging shoe storage is mostly an addition to an already present organizational system. If you have some sort of a cabinet, dresser or  table already on the floor... this could allow for you to get creative and theme something along with it and also get your shoes out of boxes  and  closets. The wonderful part of having such a solution put in place is that now you can easily scan your shoe collection and reach them at regular standing level without having to bend down which may hurt your back.

Underbed Shoe Storage Solutions

If you aren't really happy with a simple plastic container, there are already made under-bed shoe storage solutions as well. They are either larger type boxes with different compartments for each of the shoes or an actual piece of furniture that can lay underneath the matters and rotates. Some can hold a really good amount of shoes, have doors on them and can get a bit pricey as they look great and replace the entire frame of the bed.

Shoe Storage Solutions Wardrobes, Boxes and Stack

Let's start by going over a couple of the different types and designs of the storage. It is very important to have your furniture match the decor of the room which it will be installed in and serve the purpose of the area that it is installed in.

Wardrobes  - Large pieces of furniture that also hold your other clothing such as shirts, ties, towels, pants, skirts etc. Make sure that you have enough room for this one and a way to bring it in as well as some help for the assembly part.

Boxes  - Great to place under the bed or within the closet. Unless you are like my friend, and will have pictures on them... it might be a bit hard to see what shoes are inside. When going for this option, I definitely recommend see through, stackable boxes with a sliding drawer so that you do not have to move them when trying to get the shoes out in the box closer to the floor.

Stack  - I have seen many different types, but the most common is the material stack which can hang in the back of the closet. The great thing about this one is that it is very affordable and still lets you put things underneath on the floor (more room for shoes).

Shoe Storage Solutions in Contemporary, Wood (Wooden) for Women, Men & Children

Based on experience, I have found that some people really like either contemporary or wooden designs. This part is based purely on the taste of the buyer, but remember as you consider models for men and children that many of the wooden models are more sturdy and durable. Kids especially like to play and climb on furniture and so to avoid injury a heavier design is necessary.

Shoe Storage Solutions Hanging For Closets

When it comes to closets, you can really mix and match different options that are available. A couple of hanging pieces, along stackable boxes and a rug underneath for your most popular shoes. If you organize even a smaller space efficiently, you can easily fit over a 100 shoes, with all of them being easily visible and ready for wearing.

Entryway, Garage, Hallway

When purchasing shoe storage, do think about the area that it will be located in. Some tend to get dirtier than others as well as have more traffic going through them. For the entry way I recommend a simple rack or a wooden bench which holds the shoes and has no door on it. This way, the people can quickly grab the shoes and maybe even sit on it as they put them on. If you are placing your shoes in the garage, that probably means that you are not wearing them very often and larger bins with compartments might work best.

Some of the designs work well under a futon in addition to couches. It really depends on the type of furniture that you own and where you are interested in storing your things.

When making a purchase of the internet look closely at the measurements and their return / exchange policy as you will not be able to touch the product until it makes its way to your residence. Sometimes these small details can save you a lot of headaches later on... but the internet is definitely a place where you will be able to find the best deals most of the time. Reason being is that the stores which are online tend to have less overhead since they do not have employ as many workers or pay rent on an additional showroom.
