17 Amazing Shoe Racks That Make You Wish You Had More Shoes
Satisfy your shoe fetish with the help of these creative shoe rack designs and utilise all that extra space to a T
Sure, we all dream of having a Carrie Bradshaw style custom shoe closet but those things are not always the easiest on our wallets. When the yearning gets too much to resist, check out the most innovative storage hacks on Houzz for your shoes. Whether you own a few pairs or an array of footwear, there are always ways of storing and organising them to make your life easier and those heels last longer.
2. When space is at a premium, go vertical. Panels have been installed in an innovative framework and shoes hung up in no set pattern, along with wall peg strip for other items.
3. Strips of white railing on a white wall have been deliberately kept the same colour to keep the attention on the shoes and clothes. This feature wall is a snazzy way to do up a background. While its main purpose is shoe storage, this design is free to hang other knick-knacks as well. Every piece of footwear is right in front of your eyes and saves the trouble of looking through cubbies, drawers or boxes.
4. A burnished white book shelf has been placed in a hallway to cleverly store footwear. The shoes almost seem like artwork or accessories on a feature wall, and amp up the hallway.

5. This Lazy Susan is a quick way of using a cabinet for shoe storage without getting shelves installed. Each division has enough space to let the shoes breathe and access to them is only a spin away. The white colour of the spinning rack also attracts more attention in the middle of an otherwise all-wood closet.
6. This is a minimalist’s dream. There is no drama here – two wall-mounted shelves that can fit at least six to seven pairs of shoes find pride of place under the open closet (if you can call it that). Do you think this would work in a woman’s room?
7. A vintage cabinet built inside the wall, this rack is a great way to save floor space. The glass-fronted shelves save the shoes from dust and damage yet conveniently visible. Each of these four shelves have been cleverly given a separate opening, so that the whole cupboard needn’t be opened for just one pair.
8. The simplicity of this wooden pallet is definitely outside the box. It can be easily placed in any corner of the house and saves on the hassles of installation. This space also doubles as a place for hanging hats and scarves. The mirror placed on top, with string lights around it, completes the quirky dresser cum shoe cabinet.
9. These sliding trays in a wardrobe keep the shoes discreetly tucked away near the floor, yet within easy reach: just slide open a tray and slip on a pair. An open surface is great when you want to pile on a few more pairs than what you see in the picture.
10. These pullout shelves are a great way to add shoe storage to an open cabinet topped with an island. Shoe selection becomes a slick process, where you can pull out succeeding racks till you find the shoes you want.
11. Seen here is a shoe carousel that perfectly utilises a tall but extremely narrow corner space. The revolving shoe system makes it easy to find your pair; an idea like this is perfect for tall corners. Another great plus to this is that hanging shoes won’t leave stains or marks on walls and surfaces.

13. A semi-open wall has been used as a partition between the bedroom and wardrobe area. The cubbies open on the wardrobe side for shoes and accessories.
14. I have often tripped on the floor, trying to squeeze into my heels while standing. As a result, I now try to find a place to sit down to put them on. For such times, I wish I had the space to place an ottoman like this in my closet. This deep buttoned ottoman topped with leather has two shelves for shoe storage underneath.
15. The angled ceiling and the awkward space that often goes waste have been used to the full here. Cubbies have been built in and the shoes are well ventilated even in this small space. The entire look of this room has been transformed, from an attic to a warm room that makes you want to grab a book and sip some coffee by the window.

16. Flowy white curtains instead of a door is a smart and quick way to match with the colour of the walls and keep the room decor and the shelves in sync to create a seamless look.
17. What a neat idea to install a shoe rack within a sleek built-in cabinet in the bedroom. This way, the shoes stay dust-free and out of sight.
