Ideas to organize your shoes

If your shoe closet is a real jungle; if you can’t never find the desired pair; if your shoes are ruined or dirtied since they aren’t perfectly kept, keep reading today’s post, in which we give you a few ingenious ideas to arrange your shoes and have them always organized.

We’d all like to have a big closet like the ones that celebrities have, with a wall, or even an whole room, only for shoes, where they’d all be organized by types and colours, thus creating a perfect picture… but we don’t have it, so we look for solutions in everyone’s reach to arrange our mountains of shoes and have them always ready for action.

Surely you know the traditional shoe cabinet, with several boxes and narrow, in which the shoes are kept vertically. Something like this:

Well, today we suggest that you forget the shoe cabinets and try other possibilities. Why? We don’t have anything against shoe cabinets, but sometimes they don’t adjust to the space that we have, we don’t find one that we like, or simply our shoes don’t fit (either because too many shoes, or very big feet).

In any case, we’ve some ideas for you, practical, flexible and adaptable to your needs.

 

Recycled PVC tubes

It’s a very eco-friendly option, since you’ll be recycling something that otherwise would possibly end up in the garbage. The tubes can be in the size that you desire, as long as a pair of shoes fit. You can place them against a wall and organize ones on top of the others. Since it’s a very resistant material, it’ll keep the shoes from being smashed against each other, and will allow having them more visible. On the Wonder How To blog, they explain how to do it. It’s such an original result! You can decorate the exterior of the tubes to give them a more personal touch.

 

Ladders, why do I want them?

An object that isn’t very useful anymore since it’s been replaced by safer ladders, but that you don’t want to get rid of because it has that vintage charm that you love. On the Ashbee Design blog by Marji Rov, you’ll be able to find great ideas to recover your ladder in an original way. Give a new life to your ladder as a precious hanger for your high heels!

 

Rotating shoe rack

It’s a vertical shoe rack with pieces designed to hang shoes in order to occupy the least space possible. It’s suitable for high heels, shoes or sneakers, but not boots. However, it’s ideal for small paces.

 

Shoe shelves

This idea is, personally, the one that I like the most. With open shelves you can keep your shoes in order for them to always be visible. Below the flat shoes and on top the boots and ankle boots. Perfect if at home we have an antechamber.

 

And what do I do with the tall boots?

Organizing tall boots can be a chore sometimes. First, because we don’t have a suitable space, and then because we don’t want them to stay folded or to get ruined. Try to put some rolled up magazines inside the boots to keep the shaft shape, or keep them always straight by using some hangers.

 

These are just some ideas, surely you have your very own tricks to have your shoes always organized… or are you one of those that never know where the other shoe is?
