Find Quick And Easy Solutions To Shoe Storage And Organization.
Picture that mixed up pile of shoes on the floor of your closet – the pile that in which it takes you forever to find a matching pair of shoes. Now picture that pile gone and in its place shoe cubbies that organize your footwear for quick and easy access.
Shoe cubbies come in various sizes and types. They can stand vertically, some are stackable, and some even slide under a bed or take the form of furniture with tip-out drawers. You can spend a little money or a lot of money, but whichever one you buy, you'll only spend a little time finding that particular pair of shoes.
If your budget is small, you can quickly organize your shoes for about $10 - $40. There are vinyl-covered corrugated under-bed or short stack types. The under-bed types require little to no assembly depending on whether they're a simple divided soft vinyl enclosure or a trolley type. Plastic cubes are popular with people who need to be able to arrange their shoe cubbies in odd configurations.
As you shop for shoe cubbies, take note of the size of the individual spaces and remember that men's shoes are bigger than women's. You'll need large compartments to accommodate those size 12's. Some manufacturers claim that men's and women's shoes will fit their cubbies, but be sure to note dimensions and be realistic about how your shoes will fit. Some shoe cubbies, while they may be wide enough for either men's or women's shoes, will only accommodate low heals, so those 6-inch stilettos will need something different.
Stepping up the price scale, are shoe cubbies with fixed solid boxes. Some have a shoe cubby base with either drawers or shelves on top. Others are more furniture-looking (and more furniture priced) with features like optional folding baskets that can be inserted in all or just some of the cubes. The smaller solid cube types usually fit nicely in the closet under the hanging clothes. The bigger enclosed models, like the tip-outs are less likely to fit in anything but a walk-in closet.
The advantage to furniture type shoe cubbies is durability; and if you opt for a more high-end type, added style to your boudoir décor. You'd likely not want to hide it in the closet anyway, unless you've got one the size of most people's bedrooms. These come in a variety of sizes, wood finishes, and styles from Mission to Queen Anne.
With the wide variety of shoe cubbies from which to choose, whatever your taste and budget, there's sure to be one with your name on it.
