Shoes have had large walk-in closets dedicated to them. However, budget restrictions aside, if you live in a modestly sized house, getting a large closet or dresser for shoes is not just expensive but also impractical.
Space-saving shoe storage is designed based on your spatial limitations and existing interiors.
A wide shoe rack that doubles as a seat serves best when placed at an entry point in the house. While this minimalist design is good enough for the purpose, you can also go for a fancy or inventive bench with shelves. You can pick the material (wood, cardboard, plywood, etc.) and style, and match it with your existing furniture. If you select a model with proper height, you can use the bench counter as a stand for television or artwork.
Ladder shoe racks are most suited for limited shoe collections. These decorative space saving shoe storage product don’t require much space but can enhance the outlook of any room.
You will find sliding showcase models that fit under differently sized staircases. These hidden space-saving shoe storage compartments are multi-purpose, as you can use them to store other items as well. They can be designed for small and broad areas as well as for vertical spaces below the staircase.
You can choose to get a low-key model or a decorative piece, depending on your budget and interior decor. The market offers space-saving shoe storage products in materials like laminated composite wood, manufactured wood, steel, metal mesh, and particle board with paper veneer coverings.
They come with adjustable shelves, metal feet, and grooves to facilitate easy opening of the drawers. While many models require manual assembling, some may not.
