Shoe storage

How do you best organise your shoes in a small hallway?
In a small hallway, it’s important to think vertically. Shoe shelves at height, wall-mounted shoe racks or shoe cabinets with folding doors save floor space. You can also use benches with built-in storage or door-hung shoe storage to maximise space.

Which shoe storage is best for families with children?
Families with children often have a lot of shoes in circulation. Low open shoe shelves make it easy for children to put away their shoes themselves. Combine with named drawer boxes or baskets, so that each family member has their own place.

How to store shoes seasonally?
For shoes that are not used during a season - for example winter boots in the summer - plastic boxes, tote bags or storage boxes with lids are perfect. Store them in a dry place, preferably with shoe blocks or paper inside to keep their shape.

Can you have shoe storage in the wardrobe?
Yes, many wardrobe systems offer integrated shoe storage solutions such as pull-out shelves, wire baskets or shoe compartments. It’s a smart way to collect shoes and clothes in one place, especially in smaller homes.

How to avoid bad odours in shoe storage?
Make sure the shoes are dry before storing. Preferably use odour-absorbing agents such as bicarbonate, cedarwood shoe blocks or special shoe bags with activated carbon. Choose storage solutions with ventilation, especially for everyday shoes.

What to consider when buying shoe storage?
Think about the number of shoes, available space and whether you want an open or hidden solution. The choice of material also matters - wood gives a more elegant feel, while plastic or metal is often more durable and easy to maintain. Functionality should always take precedence over appearance, but one does not necessarily exclude the other.
