If you think a shoe rack is a shoe rack, think again. From over the door to under the bed styles, there is a footwear storage solution for nearly any household.
Over the Door Shoe Racks
Easy to install and inexpensive, over the door shoe racks are incredibly popular and are a great way to keep shoes organized and out of sight. My favorite styles follow. I love the ones with shelves, because they allow for using shoe trees. The mesh pocket version requires no tools and is extremely affordable, although it's not quite as tidy as the other two.
Under the Bed Shoe Racks
Not the most convenient method for shoes you wear a lot, but for out-of-season or seldom worn shoes, or for people with limited closet space, under the bed shoe storage is a great option. Here are two options I particularly like. The first one rolls, for easy access; while the second one is covered, to protect your shoes from dirt, dust and scratches.
Free Standing Shoe Racks
If you have the space, and the shoe collection to fill it, a freestanding shoe rack is a great option. Allowing for quick and easy access and requiring no installation, there are units that will accommodate even the largest collection of shoes, and others that will allow you to add on as your shoe wardrobe grows.
Hanging Shoe Racks
If you have room in your wardrobe, a simple option is to use a shoe rack that hangs from the clothes rail. These are extremely affordable, and easy to assemble and install.
Shoe Cabinets and Cubbies
Though shoe cabinets and cubbies can be a bit more expensive than some of the other options, they're ideal for when you want a designated, specific space for shoes - and doored models offer great protection of your footwear. For a less expensive option, check out the
Stackable Shoe Cubbies, which you can add to as needed.
