This important element of our wardrobe is manystore them haphazardly, thereby reducing the lifespan of your favorite shoes. We looked at many shoe storage options and chose the best ones for you. Most housewives, at best, organize shoe storage in boxes in the closet or pack out-of-season shoes in bags and put them in hard-to-reach places: on the mezzanine, in far corners, closets and cabinets. In the worst case, they simply leave their shoes in the hallway on a rug or on some shelf. How to store shoes if there is little space? However, the most convenient way to store shoes isThese are boxes with a transparent side through which you can see what's inside, or with a small tag with a photo of the couple. But who would bother with that? Only a few, perhaps. So let's look at other ideas. Idea #1:galoshnitsa A galoshnitsa is an open shoe rack with 1-2 shelves (usually lattice). If there is only one shelf, it is usually made at an angle. This simple device is mobile and cheap, but not ideal. Shoes stored on open shelves dry faster and become covered in dust. Also, high boots and shoes do not fit in a galoshnitsa. Therefore, over time, it becomes a place for temporary storage of shoes. Idea #2:Shelves and wall structures Wall structures are convenient because they help save a lot of space: you can place shoes on them even up to the ceiling. Or you can make them on the back of the pantry door. Ideas for storing shoes in the hallway advise storing shoes in shelves that resemble cupboards for dishes - this is rather a newfangled trend that allows you to put your favorite shoes on display. Idea #3:custom cabinets Furniture made to measure always expands storage options. A craftsman can make drawers for shoes, shelves, and crossbars for hanging them. You won’t find this in ready-made slims. Shoes can be conveniently placed in a deep wall cabinet. For example, if you equip the compartment for them with the same drawers with dividers and cover their bottom with vinyl (then you can even put wet shoes in them). Idea #4:under the stairs If, of course, you have one in your house. This is a very convenient option, since you do not need to look for additional square meters, you can use what is already in the house. Equip the steps with a couple of drawers - and they can accommodate a lot of things.Our opinion In principle, you can store shoesapproach the same way as storing any beautiful thing: put it on a shelf, under glass in a rack, hang it on a hook (if there are laces), and so on. Of course, it can get dusty on the shelf. But any trinket gets dusty if it is not used for a long time. If saving is not an issue, you should pay attention to the special sections for storing shoes, which are available in the new collection of wardrobes from Poliform: here you will find shelves, lighting, and the ability to put shoes behind glass to admire them and to keep them from getting dusty. Idea # 5: hang on a railing IKEA suggests hanging high-heeled shoes on railings (like kitchen utensils). It looks funny, takes up little space, is convenient to use, and costs pennies.
