shoes one in a frame and behind a
curtain if your home has little nooks
and crannies that aren't being used then

storage this example includes a
wall-mounted wire rack that holds around
a dozen pairs as well as a curtain that
covers them up no one will know what you
have back there until you reveal your
little secret this keeps your shoes out
of sight and uses a part of your home
that previously collected dust to the
ever awesome shoe storage Ottoman a shoe
storage Ottoman can sit in just about
any room of your home in your living
room it can provide you with a
comfortable place to rest your feet
while sitting on a chair in your bedroom
the Ottoman can quickly become a stool
especially if you sit on it while
putting on your shoes no matter what
your shoes will be out of sight until
you need them the best part of this shoe
ottoman are the pockets that line the
sides they keep your pairs together and
leave some space in the center for
larger ones 3 turn a wooden pallet into
a shoe rack wooden pallets are easy to
get a hold of many businesses tend to
just break theirs down and recycle them
when they are no longer needed they
might be thrilled to give them away just
to get rid of them with a nice coat of
paint or a few layers of wood stain an
old shipping pallet becomes a handy shoe
rack the spaces in between the boards
are just the right size to hold around a
dozen pairs by the toes this setup makes
them easy to grab when you're headed out
the door for attach stretchy rubber shoe
holders to your walls now this is a
clever idea these stretchy rubber shoe
holders are an ingenious way to keep
your shoes up off the floor each
rubberized strand can hold more than one
pair of shoes they also adjust making it
easy to store boot
and other types of footwear as well if
you wanted to you could even put a
curtain in front of this shoe wall
leaving it exposed however turns them
into shoe art it's kind of like modern
art only wearable and functional 5 a
recessed wall panel can easily become
shoe storage sometimes you need to hide
your shoes away this is made even easier
if your house comes with small recessed
panels that provide built-in storage
solutions the shoes are placed into
small pockets which can actually hide
any multitude of things and then when
you're done choosing a pair they slide
right back into the wall this type of
hidden storage might be a little tricky
to construct but if you can manage that
it'll be worth it your shoes will be out
of sight and away from dust and debris 6
these clever shoe holding bins once held
these are produce vents that have been
turned into a useful shoe rack something
like this can be placed in a mudroom or
living room or even a walk-in closet if
you have one heck you can even put it in
your foyer when the drawers are closed
no one will even know what's in there
although it does provide a limited
amount of space depending on your shoe
size of course it does hold around 6 to
7 pairs that's just enough to minimize
the shoe clutter already in your home 7
the cardboard box turns shoe holder
trick sometimes all you need is a
cardboard box that once held well just
about anything this one looks like it
held bottles of wine or beer where the
alcohol once stood shoes now fit the
only issue here is that it holds narrow
shoes like sneakers if you have bulkier
shoes they may not fit into the
available spaces in the box with that
said a box like this is small enough to
fit in any size closet thus keeping your
shoes out of the way you're recycling
and storing your shoes 8 standing shoe
rack this standing shoe rack has been
repurposed from a metal rack that once
held any number of other things
likely garden implements just picture it
hanging on a wall since it's now lying
flat you can place one shoe over each
peg your shoes will keep their shape
which is a real problem with some types
of shoe storage as you can see clever
inserts even allow you to keep dainty
dress shoes on this rack it doesn't take
up much space and it's a great way to
keep everything in your sight 9 rolling
shubin's these rolling bins are usually
used to hold things like toys books
blankets or any number of other
household items that leaves out the fact
that they're just the right size for
boots and other bulky shoes the best
thing about these bins is that they are
easily stashed away practically out of
sight in this particular example they
fit underneath a built-in bench no one
will realize where your shoes are until
they see you reaching for them Plus
every one of your pairs will be kept
together 10 repurpose fabric pocket
organizers for shoes these handy
shubin's started out as organizers for
jewelry nail polish and other small
implements they are cleverly designed to
hang over a door in this case the doors
are of the folding variety however they
fit over any closet door in your home
since you can only fit one single shoe
per pouch this method may not hold every
pair of them in your home but it will
definitely keep some of them up off the
floor and within reach your dress shoes
will look great while hanging they're 11
an outdoor upside-down boot rack if you
have issues with your kids tracking mud
into your home then an outdoor shoe rack
like this one is a great solution this
shoe rack is made of wood and it's hung
right outside your back door either next
to the back deck or just near an
entryway since the boots are held upside
down you don't have to worry about them
filling with rain or snow in inclement
weather plus your floors won't be muddy
as the boots never go inside twelve shoe
storage drawers that double as a bench
few things are nicer than shoe storage
serving a second
purpose in this example the shoes are
well hidden away in those drawer units
at the foot of the bed each drawer can
hold around a dozen shoes and they are
easily sorted by type you can have a
drawer for sneakers one for stilettos
another for sandals and so on plus you
can place things on top of the drawer
units they make great benches pet beds
and in this case knick-knack holders
they can be designed to match any decor
13 turn wine crates into shoe racks so
you've ordered several cases of wine
that came in a set of nice wooden crates
you also need shoe storage so what
should you do
repurpose those wine racks into shoe
holders these wine racks hold several
pairs in each compartment and make it
easy to sort your shoes by type or size
they keep your shoes up off the floor
while at the same time you can organize
the pairs together on top of that you're
recycling something that would otherwise
have wound up in the garbage 14 shoe
baskets provide visible storage there's
nothing quite like a fancy lined basket
that's just the right size for several
pairs of shoes if you want to keep your
shoes visible in your bedroom and have
the kind of decor that looks good with
baskets then this method is for you
these shallow baskets hold a number of
flats or dress shoes and keep your pairs
together as long as you don't have cats
who love to sit in boxes and baskets
then consider choosing this type of shoe
storage your shoes will be easy to find
when you need them 15 hanging wall racks
made of wood trim basic wood trim the
kind that is found around the edges of
ceilings makes a great shoe rack however
this only really works if you have lots
of pairs of heels the heels rests on the
outer edge of the trim and hang
downwards you'd have a hard time putting
sneakers and flats up there since
there's nothing to attach to the trim if
you paint the trim to match your walls
then no one will quite know why it's
there unless your shoes are hanging from
it the trim will blend in now
Slean 16 old-school metal lockers
repurposed as shoe storage if you're
able to get your hands on some
old-school metal lockers then you can
easily turn them into storage spaces in
your home this type of storage looks
especially great in a kid's bedroom you
can use shoeboxes wooden racks or simply
build a custom shoe holder for the
lockers depending on the size of the
shoes each section will only hold either
a single shoe or a pair but this method
will definitely keep them all out of
sight 17 a floating shoe rack in a
corner a small unused corner becomes a
shoe rack
thanks to these floating shelves you can
install the shelves yourself using scrap
wood or tiny pieces from a
home-improvement store

to the walls will work nicely the best
thing about this method is that it makes
use of every bit of space you have 18
hanging flip-flop holders you probably
already know that flip-flops are among
the hardest shoes to store despite the
fact that they're rather flat and can be
squeezed into traditional shoe racks

sight in a logical manner

flip-flops will now be kept in great
condition they'll no longer be squished
kicked underneath the couch or so much
as forgotten about in fact they'll be
right under your nose every time you
open the door 19 a useful wooden shoe
tray if you really are pinched for space
and need to use every nook and cranny of
your home then don't forget about the
room under your Bureau this is the space
that is usually used to collect dust
bunnies however thanks to a slim wooden
shoe tray it has a brand new purpose

collect a small pair of shoes that can
slide underneath the chest of drawers

out of mind perfect isn't it

your kids need them another way to use a
non used space 21 specialty stationary
boxes turned shoe storage experts say
that your shoes should be kept in their
boxes and then you can tape pictures to
those boxes in order to easily determine
which pair is in there

which are usually used to hold desk
items like sticky notes and pens work
even better
these boxes are sturdier and are
uniformed and design so they'll look
nice in your closet plus you can even
attach pictures or tags to them so that
you know what is in each with these you
could consider ditching those shoeboxes
for good twenty-two paint cans shoe
holders these holders are made from
empty paint cans that have had their

add more paint cans to the storage

like a storage method that grows with
you 23 a towel rack turned shoe holder

walls as long as you don't worry
constantly about them falling onto your
head then this is a great way of storing
shoes 26 a bookcase full of shoes rather
than keep your books in a traditional
bookcase why not place your high-heeled
shoes there instead these shoes are
arranged in a way that shows them off
from every angle and squish them
together in order to fit more per shelf
the heels are so high that you can
really only fit one per shelf but it
looks nice and turns them into kind of
an artistic statement on top of this

twenty-eight hang shoes from a wooden
rack these shoes are both displayed and

the warm stained wood this shoe rack
becomes the focal point of the room this

arrange one pair on each shelf or even
stuffed two pairs into one depending on
the size of the shoes and the shelves
either way the shoes will be up off the
floor and out of sight 31 the ladder

can easily become a kind of rustic shoe
rack this latter example is painted
white making it stand out against the
brick wall behind it the shoes are
looped on by their heels which help keep
them in place although you might only be
able to fit on one pair of shoes per
rung the idea here is to create a type
of shoe storage that you don't mind

art and this definitely fits those
parameters you can even loop some
accessories over the rungs as well 32

and kick them under it's not fancy
and it's quite utilitarian but it works
well sometimes the simple ways are the

bit choosing the ones that you want will
