Closet Shoe Storage Ideas: What to Keep in Mind
While most closets that are ready-made have a dedicated space for your shoe storage, in most cases you can still customize a lot of the space and make the most out of it.
These days, there are lots of clever solutions available even for the smallest closets, so you don’t have to worry if you don’t have a lot of space to play with.
When choosing the storage solution that will work for you, keep in mind it has to be not just practical, but also sustainable. While having shoes nicely arranged by color looks lovely, chances are when you in a rush in the morning, you won’t have time to put them back in their place and create a mess.
Another thing to consider is that your collection is likely to grow, so find a solution that will allow some space for adding more new shoe pairs in the future.
If you’re sharing a closet with your significant other, you can divide the space visually to make sure your shoes do not mix up and are impossible to find.
