Preparatory stage

Even if you have already come up with a storage method, do not rush to put numerous sandals, sneakers, shoes and boots there. In order for your shoes to please you for a long time, it is important to take care of them.

shoe care before storage — In order for the shoes to serve for a long time, it is imperative to take care of them.

So, before laying out on shelves and cabinets, it needs to be prepared for this.

The most important point: do not be afraid to throw away shoes that have fallen into disrepair, or that you have not worn for five years (if you ever wore at least once!). Unfortunately, this category of boots and shoes is available in almost every family.
Divide your shoes by seasons: summer, winter, autumn and spring.
The one that needs repair - repair it.
Take out the insoles and laces.
Clean, observing the rules for each material: cloth - just wash, suede - clean with a special brush, leather - wipe with a damp cloth.
Dry. Remember, all shoes can only be dried naturally. The sun's rays, a battery, and even specialized dryers can hopelessly ruin your favorite shoes or boots.
Treat each item with the appropriate composition: cream or impregnation. Leave it on for a while for the funds to "work".
Fill boots and boots with paper wads or special spacers so that the shoes do not deform. Store without bending the shaft.
Prepare a place for the future "dwelling" of your shoes - shelves, boxes, racks.

shoe care — Shoes must be sorted, sorted, cleaned and repaired if necessary before you send your shoes for storage.

Separate dressing room

This is undeniably the best option for storing clothes and shoes, regardless of the size of your apartment and the number of residents.

The dressing room can be a separate room, or a conveniently fenced-off "fragment" of a large hallway. The main thing is not to spare the time for calculations: at what height the hangers and shelves will be located, and how between them (above or below them) the places for shoes will "settle". At the same time, remember that you will need to arrange models of different heights: from sandals to boots.

arrangement of shoes in the wardrobe — The location of shoes, even in a separate dressing room, should be carefully considered.

Experts recommend allocating special places for seasonal shoes. Let it be closed drawers that you can place and not at hand. And no matter if it's a seasonal shoe or the one you need now, let each pair have their own compartment or container. Do not "settle" shoes, sneakers and boots in a "communal apartment". In this case, it will be easier to take out the shoes, and it will be better stored.

Ideas for small hallways

Finding ways to accommodate shoes in small hallways is more difficult. Much depends on the preferences of the owners.

Placing a large number of shoes in a small hallway is really difficult.

Lovers of minimalism will like open shelves made of metal, on which shoes for the current season will perfectly fit. If there are not many shoes, then in general you can do with plastic or metal trays (such as trays). Such a tray, painted in a suitable color, will become not only a functional part, but also a kind of spectacular addition to the overall design concept.
Connoisseurs of the Scandinavian style and loft style prefer to use materials at hand. For example, pre-painted white construction pallets will perfectly complement the interior. Trust me, your guests won't even know the true origins of stylish and comfortable shoe storage.
Well, if the structure is supplemented with flower pots or decorative figures, then the storage place, as they say, "with a slight movement of the hand" turns into a work of art.

By the way, the loft style will perfectly "get along" with unpainted wooden pallets. The main thing is to process them so that they are safe in operation, and there is no risk of planting a splinter.
The entrance hall of a very modest size will be appropriately complemented by a carob shoe rack. In such a model, the shoes are placed vertically, the shelves are narrow and do not require much space. In such a situation, shoes can even be placed on cabinet doors by equipping special pockets and rails.
Another way of rational use of space is a bench (ottoman) for the hallway with a built-in shoe cabinet. Such a bench can be made of different materials: wood, chipboard or metal.
For shoes, you can use the lower shelves in the hallway furniture. And you choose the design and decoration of these places at your discretion: either ordinary shelves, or hangers with special hooks for boots, for example.

If for you shoes are not just a necessary element of everyday clothes, but a hobby, a hobby that you do not mind spending any time or money on, then storage places can be equipped accordingly. For example, high-bay open shelving or cabinets with transparent doors.

shoe cabinets with transparent doors — Shoe cabinets with transparent doors are convenient enough to store and suit most interiors.

If the shoes are expensive, it is preferable to arrange a separate place for each pair. Indeed, in this case, we are talking not only about placement and storage, but also about aesthetic pleasure from contemplating your collection.

storage of expensive shoes — If each pair of shoes has its own separate storage space, then contemplating such a collection is much more pleasant.

As an example: if you consider yourself a horse-riding lover, then in the hallway you can organize special shelves on which several pairs of cowboy boots are effectively located. And if you add other elements to the "composition" - hats, leather belts - you get a very effective interior that will delight all your friends and acquaintances!

storage of shoes in the interior — With the help of accessories, the storage space for shoes can be made very stylish and effective.

For creative lovers, a couple of unusual ideas for storing shoes.

Cornices instead of shelves. In a hardware store, you need to purchase ready-made curtain rods, and "cut" them into pieces of about 30-50 cm (it all depends on the available space and your personal preferences). This storage method is ideal for shoes with heels - just hook your heel onto the cornice. Looks impressive and very convenient to use.
Boxes for children. This moment can simply be turned into a game. Highlight a pair of bottom shelves for baby sandals in your closet or shelf. And instead of putting shoes and sandals in boring and monotonous boxes, lay out several pairs of shoes in bright buckets. If necessary, you can sign each of them, or draw something interesting and positive on them.

Therefore, before you buy or craft, answer yourself to simple questions:

How many shoes do you plan to store. Just count the number of pairs that will be in your shoebox at the same time.
How much free space you need for this. In other words, will all the shoes be in one place, or will you place them in different cabinets and cabinets. Or maybe you can highlight a separate wall in the dressing room.
How much space your shoes need. Here we are talking about models: what is more in your "repertoire" of cowboy boots or ballet flats and flat-soled clogs. After all, in the end, the answer to the question of how much space will need to be allocated for "quartering" your shoes will depend on this.

keeping shoes at home — When organizing storage space, of course, you should immediately consider how many shoes you need to place.
