Shoe Storage Hacks
There are so many different types of footwear that your family needs and wears every week, and they can start to take over your home. Get your shoes under control with these helpful storage hacks.
Arrange shoes heel to toe to save space
16. Store shoes heel to toe: You’ll be surprised at how much space you can save by storing your shoes heel to toe instead of side by side.
17. Use a small bookcase: A bookcase placed near your door is a great alternative to a traditional wire shoe rack. It is sturdier, looks better and can accommodate a lot more shoes.
18. Store your boots upright: Use a handy boot clip or stuff an empty wrapping paper roll inside your long boot so they don’t flop over and take up extra space in your closet. This will also help them keep their shape and protect them from getting stepped on.
19. Pack up footwear at the end of each season: At the end of each season, pack up the footwear that you won’t be needing such as all your sandals in the winter, and store them in a plastic tote in your storage shed or garage until you need them again.
