Typically, the entrance hall is the narrowest part of the apartment, and shoes placed on it reduce the already small space. How to store your favorite shoes and boots compactly?

Countersunk shelf

These types of shelves can be used both for oversized and clean shoes (ballet shoes and slippers), and for street boots.

For the first option, you can hang a small organizer on the door, which will fit a large number of light shoes.

For the second option, you will have to sacrifice part of the space: you can separate part of the hallway by creating a cabinet for storing shoes inside. The most convenient option is to create separate boxes so that each pair fits neatly in its place.

Wall shelf

This option is perfect for small rooms in which every meter of free space is extremely important. Only seasonal shoes and slippers should be placed on the shelves - this will be much more economical. It is convenient to place the shelves closer to the floor, or arrange a small cabinet without doors.

Boxes

Many people are in no hurry to put shoes in boxes and boxes that are not suitable for the season. Thus, in the hallway a real dump is arranged. Do not be lazy to clean shoes in a timely manner. You can also facilitate the process of finding the right box by pasting on it a photo of a shoe or a sticker with its name.

You can also put light shoes (sneakers, sandals) in a large wicker basket.

Shoe racks and shoe racks

Closed cabinets of this type are convenient in that the shoes are placed only on toes, thereby taking up several times less space. The only negative - in such cabinets, the shoes do not “breathe”.

Shoe racks are deprived of such a minus (therefore, they are extremely convenient in rainy periods), however, they are less spacious and quite overall.

Bench and ottoman

If you have an ottoman or a bench in the hallway, then it is high time to increase their functionality by turning them into a storehouse for non-seasonal shoes. The most convenient bench with special cells: so the shoes will always lie neatly.

Hangers

This idea is suitable for long boots: boxes with them will take up too much space, so it will be much more convenient to hang them in a closet.

Stairs

If you live in a house or a multi-level apartment, then a ladder with drawers for shoes is a great idea. In the rainy season, you can put a cloth in a drawer and pour a little pebble on top - this way all the dirt and moisture will drain and will not stain the drawer.
