Storage hacks for stacks of shoes

Stylish storage solutions.

In 2017 fashion retailer Simply Be surveyed more than 2000 UK women to find out how many pairs of shoes the average woman owned. The magic number turned out to be 24. If that’s how many pairs of shoes the average woman owns, then the average family shoe collection must be pushing towards 100.

With that in mind, storage options for shoes that are practical, stylish and affordable are a necessity. We’ve pulled together some great ideas from across Instagram for you try, from DIY hacks to super-snazzy designer options.  

At the entryway

If you’re lucky enough to have a spacious entry way or mudroom at home, it can be your best friend for stashing shoes and other everyday items.

In the hallway

Although not ideal, the hallway is an often under-utlilised space that can be repurposed with clever storage options that look sleek on the outside, and hide clutter on the inside.

Bedrooms

The most common place to be keeping shoes, bedroom storage needs to be space-friendly and pretty.

Outdoors

Sometimes you just need a place to pop work boots, gum boots, runners and thongs. A pretty outdoor seating option with concealed storage performs double duty.
