Storage of shoes in the closet, on the balcony, in the dressing room and what if there is not enough space?

In the house of a large family or an advanced fashionista, there is always a question of how to organize the storage of shoes so that the products are not confused under their feet and do not take up much space, but were available when necessary. At the same time it is not enough just to poke temporarily unnecessary couples in the wardrobe or put them in a closet, it is necessary to rationally distribute space and equip it with auxiliary devices.

If one time to approach the process wisely, the headache will go away forever and do not even have to store things on the balcony or stumble on them in the hallway. Lifkhakers and other craftsmen have long thought of several solutions to the problem, which will be a real salvation for the owners of small-sized apartments.

Where can I remove seasonal shoes and how to store it correctly?

The biggest problem arises when winter footwear is to be stored, because it has impressive dimensions and if there is not enough room in the apartment, it is most often simply packed into boxes and exposed on the balcony. As a result, before the start of the season will face such problems as mold from increased humidity and deformation of products. With summer things the situation is slightly simpler, but here the products can easily be damaged.

The problem is easiest to solve in one of the following ways:

• Using a dressing room. If there is no such room, then it's time to think about its arrangement. As a piece of work, a small pantry or even a spacious closet that has long been idle on the balcony, filled with unnecessary trash is quite suitable. It will take only one day to clean the space, provide it with necessary shelves and niches, decorate to your liking.
• Balcony. A large room can become a complete replacement for the dressing room. If one wall has a convenient chest of drawers with numerous compartments or boxes, and a hanger is built from the second wall, it will be possible to easily place all the shoes. An additional advantage of the approach is the relatively low temperature and constant airing of the room, in such conditions no mold is afraid of things, you just need to shake up the shelves regularly.

Tip: Before storing shoes on the balcony, care must be taken to insulate it. Coolness is very good, but at minus temperatures, patent leather shoes can go cracked, and fabric products will freeze through, which will negatively affect the strength of the material.

• Placement of functional devices in the hallway. Here, fantasies do not go around like on the balcony, but if you want you can find several worthwhile solutions. It can be built-in wardrobes, adapted to store not only shoes, but also clothes, high-shelved shelves, hangers.

It is highly discouraged to locate shoes in living areas. Carefully treated before cleaning, they will become a source of specific odor. And the humidity in the room and the relatively high temperature will have a negative effect on the state of the objects.

Shoe storage devices
