Closet Shoe Storage
The humble closet. Obediently and quietly it sits behind the front door, under the stairs or in some other discreet location.
What lies behind the closet door, only the master of the house knows. From tool-boxes to fuse-boxes and clothing rails to coats with long-tails, the closet is the in-house storage system that acts as an instant house tidier.
However with a little TLC and organization, this humble storage facility can be turned into a closet shoe storage area par excellence!
Shoe Storage Solutions for Closets
The most suitable closet shoe storage solutions are:
- Low level shoe storage units such as 2-tier or 3-tier shoe storage racks
- Hanging shoe storage units that can be attached to a clothing rail
- Over-door shoe storage units that can hang off the back of the closet door
Of course depending on your needs, different types of shoe storage organizers such as cabinets and cubbies may also be workable but in general, the options listed above are the ones that are most often found in closets, storage cupboards and other small storage areas.

Organizing for Closet Shoe Storage
Before you can make the transformation from an unruly mess into an organized closet storage system, the first thing to do is figure out how you are going to make the best use of space. What are you going to use the closet for?
After all, a closet is a defined space and try as you might, it cannot possibly store everything and anything that you would like it to.
In the goal of organization, some thing has got to give otherwise disorder and anarchy will soon reign and you will be back to square one. So if you find that things just aren’t fitting in the closet, find another home for them.
Can the toolbox go in the garage or shed? Can some clothes be stored elsewhere? Can those storage bags be placed on top of wardrobes?
What you need to do is work out a defined place where shoes will be stored in an accessible manner.
Accessible means somewhere you can get to them without searching through a labyrinth of over-hanging clothes or storage bags or contorting your arm in order to reach some unique cubby hole you may have carved out in what seemed to be a really good idea at the time!
Check out the following closet shoe storage organizers that are suitable for the task at hand.
