5 Shoe Storage Ideas from Instagram

One of the best things about living in the digital age is you can find inspiration with just a few clicks. Sites like Pinterest and Instagram are brimming with pegs, how-tos, and hacks for any problem you may have, no matter how big or small. They’re also great places to look for storage ideas, as evidenced by the many photos in #shoestorage alone! Here are our best picks from the hashtag:  

A console table with multiple shelves

Make your foyer functional by adding a console table with multiple shelves. Use the top shelf for holding décor and catchalls, and the lower shelves for storing shoes. This way, you can easily slip on your footwear before you leave the house.

A custom cupboard under the stairs

Got unused space under the stairs? Why not build a custom storage unit for your shoes? These pull-out drawers are open on one side, allowing you to see your entire collection—plus, it’s tall enough for boots and heels, too!  

A spice rack with a dowel

If there’s an organizer you can use in any part of the home, it would have to be a spice rack. This versatile piece can be used to hold a few pairs of shoes near the entrance of your home. Install several racks to make a storage wall, or just set one on the floor to keep your most used pairs neat and orderly.  

A decorative basket

If you find yourself using the same few pairs of shoes on a regular basis, keep them in a pretty basket like the one above. This keeps them within easy reach and you’ll be less tempted to leave them on the floor when you take them off.  

Hidden drawers in the stair steps

If there’s no more space for shoes in your bedroom, or you’d rather keep your pairs downstairs, maybe it’s time to utilize the unused space under your stair steps. Keep your footwear in the bottom steps for maximum efficiency.
