As much we all love shoes and can get really obsessed about owning a large collection, organising them in a neat and orderly manner can be quite a challenge.
Ironically, a well-organised shoe collection is the cornerstone of a stylish and stress-free life
With the right ideas, you can create a functional and visually appealing shoe storage system that fits both your style, personality, budget and even space.
Here’s our guide to having all your kicks in one dedicated space— which means more time wearing them and less time trying to find them. Plus, you’ll be saying goodbye to falling over wayward shoes.
Sort your shoes
Take a moment to assess your shoe collection and discard pairs that are worn out. This creates more space and ensures pairs you no longer need, do not find their way to your revamped collection.
Think vertical
Take into account available vertical spaces when figuring out where to place your preferred shoe organiser. This will ensure that you’ll really maximise your storage options, and consume less space in your room.
Group shoes by type
Group your kicks by type; heels, flats, sneakers, etc. This streamlines the process of finding the perfect pair for any occasion and adds an aesthetic appeal to your collection.
Organise by colour
For a visually stunning and organised display, arrange your collection by colour. This also makes locating the perfect pair for any outfit easier.
Invest in sturdy shoe racks or shelves
Invest in sturdy shoe racks if you do not have a built-in or dedicated walk-in closet. Racks accommodate different shoe sizes, and open shelves make it easy to see and access your shoes.
Consider over-the-door shoe organiser
Over-the-door shoe organisers or custom shoe hangers are also an excellent solution for creating extra storage while avoiding taking up floor space. Opt for clear pockets to spot your favourite pairs easily.
Try shoe boxes
You can add a touch of elegance to your closet by storing your shoes in clear shoe boxes. This protects your shoes from dust and damage, and also makes it easy to identify each pair without opening multiple boxes.
