Shoe Storage Wars

No time to flip flop

Shoe storage wars is the biggest battle at this time of year – with the weather not quite sure what it’s doing, the dilemma can be do I go out in flip flops or wellingtons, so there is a glut of shoes to store and not enough space to store them.

The Hallway is generally a narrow space that plays a big part in the dynamics of the household as it’s the thoroughfare to all the rooms in the house. Narrow spaces don’t work well with clutter and mountains of shoes definitely clutter, so a storage solution is in order.

What Do You Do With All The Other Related Outdoor Accessories?

Where there’s shoes there is usually Hats, Coats, Gloves, Scarfs, umbrellas etc. In the same way the changeable weather can influence your choice of shoes, you may also need an umbrella when you open the front door and see it’s raining, so it’s always handy to have them accessible.

There are lots of options out there on the market depending on the space you have available and the style you are looking for so measure your space and decide are you looking for open storage or something behind doors?

A free-standing shoe cupboard can be an ideal choice by the front door as any mess can be hidden behind closed doors.

The Only Way Is Up

Floor space is usually at a premium so the logical thing to do is to think vertically. Stackable shoe racks are ideal when thinking vertically – making the most of the available space. Open storage like this can be great by the back door, in a laundry room or a hallway cupboard, but not necessarily in the front hall.
