Shoe Organization Tip #2

Inspired Closets slanted and traditional shoe shelves add dimension to your storage space, creating dedicated shelving in your home for your shoes. Whether you’re adding organization to your mudroom, your closet, or your garage entryway, slanted and traditional shoe shelves offer ways to organize your shoes with easy access to every family member’s favorite pair in simple, optimized storage. Traditional shoe shelves offer a straightforward approach to shoe organization. Slanted shoe shelves store your shoes at an angle, providing an organizational solution that’s both practical and beautiful.

Shoe Organization Tip #3

Just as you need your own space sometimes, so do your shoes. This means you should expand your shoe storage outside of your entryway or mudroom. Limit your main shoe storage area to only hold everyone’s everyday shoes; everything else can be delegated to other areas of the house. Shoe organization can be determined by the person, season, or whatever works best for you and your family.

Have your kids do their own organizing and find ways to store their excess shoes in their own respective closets. Use your own personal closet as a safe keep for your special occasion shoes that you don’t want to be ruined or borrowed. Utilizing closet space for shoe storage throughout your house can remove clutter from your entryway and restore organization in your life.

Shoe Organization Tip #4

The space under your bed isn’t just for cobwebs (and for the little ones, it’s not just for hiding while you play Hide and Seek); it’s one of the best ways to store shoes out of sight. The space under your bed offers a protected spot for shoes, ending the possibility of them being trampled over in the entryway. Take special-occasion shoes or those you just don’t often wear, pack them neatly in totes, and store them under your bed where they’ll remain safely out of the way until you need them again.

Shoe Organization Tip #5

While we love our shoes, depending on the season, some don’t belong in your main shoe organization area. Free up storage space in your mudroom or entryway by storing shoes you’re not using in totes. Whether it’s flip-flops when it’s snowing, winter boots in the summer, or your kids’ soccer cleats when you’re not spending your weekends on the field, you’ll instantly feel more organized by getting them out of the way. Store these shoes in your garage, closet, basement, attic, or any other tucked-away space as a way to organize shoes in your home.

Shoe Organization Tip #6

If you love Jenga and Tetris, this shoe organization tip is for you! Save space for more shoes on each shelf by stepping up your shelving strategy. One way to organize your shoes on a shelf is to alternate the directions they’re facing (for example, for each pair, have one shoe face towards the center of the room and the other towards the shelf).

Another shoe organization tip is to take advantage of your shelving height by stacking lightweight, light-use shoes (flip-flops, high heels, kids’ sneakers) on top of your sturdier shoes, leaving more space to place even more shoes on the shelf. By integrating these simple solutions, you can maximize the space you’re working with for a quick fix to your shoe organization issue.
