BEST SHOE RACKS - The Best Way to Organize Your Shoes (Rental-friendly!)

[@JulieKhuu]

I know I’m not the only one with a shoe organization problem! 😆 We rounded up 48 best shoe racks for a variety of locations for the entryway, garage, closets, bedrooms and more! How would you use these racks in your home?

[@rmcar549]

I totally NEED a huge shoe sideboard for my family and guests as well!! My husband and I have 4 kids - 3 teenage boys and a 25 yr daughter. My daughter and one of our sons are absolute shoe FIENDS! Each of them have enough shoes to fill more than one of these units on their own. Add guests to the mix and we definitely need a gigantic shoe cabinet.

[@Sheb24]

I'm Norwegian and we don't wear shoes inside the house in my country either. A lot of other northern european cultures have that tradition too ^^ So many lovely options, but most wouldn't work in Norway. The weather is often snowy and rainy so shoes need to dry on an open, preferably metal, surface. However they would work fantastic for shoes storage in a bedroom!

[@JulieKhuu]

Thank you for watching and sharing! Love learning about different cultures and common issues, especially with seasonal needs. I will address this in a future video 🙏☺️

[@kmih6825]

You are brilliant and so helpful Julie. I have been pondering the shoe storage dilemma in my front entry for so long and been stuck because it's a really difficult, tiny space that's easy to obstruct. You have put together such a great list and I am inspired again!

[@JulieKhuu]

Yay! I have the same issue- too many shoes and not enough space. I’m thinking the slim flip tops stacked side by side would be best for my narrow entry

[@carpediem9382]

This was super helpful. Loving the vertical shoe-specific cabinets. Thank you!

[@JulieKhuu]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️

[@HoshinaSenpai]

I have been waiting for someone to make a video like this! A lot of videos I've seen in interior design don't talk about shoe racks or more pet friendly options (especially when having cats) and I love that you talked about this. I'm asian and live with 10 other people and need more solutions that's pretty and functional! 💗

It’s over once you host a party! That entryway gets outta hand lol 🙈

[@marilynndesilva7620]

Julie, you are a treasure chest of information! Thank you for all these suggestions. It would have taken me days to research the options you presented here. Love your energy❤

[@JulieKhuu]

Thank you for watching Marilyn! Took us a solid week to sift through all the options out there 🤪

[@Dian2Gig]

I am LatinX 2nd generation born here and can tell you when I got divorced I decided to make my household a no shoe space. Being a single mom and having to do all the cleaning and organizing I knew the no shoe home was an option for me. When my Dad visits he has his own pair of slippers when he arrives as so does my daughter and myself. Guests know they need to take their shoes off as well as repair persons. Thank you Julie for this video. I need ideas as to how to create this space in the entrance area of my home.

[@JulieKhuu]

I have guest slippers and new socks waiting for my guests as well. It’s obvious we are a no-shoe zone when there’s shoes outside the entry! 🙌😆

[@bglr2783]

When I was looking for a shoe storage, i couldn't find any good videos on that. Anyway I bought a slim flip over cabinet and I am happy with it. This video will be useful for many.

[@JulieKhuu]

I love those slim consoles, especially when the top is deep enough for a small catchall 👍

[@jeanne-marie8196]

So many of these, caught my eye. Especially, all the units with curved sides

[@JulieKhuu]

Love the ones that function to hold guests’ items as well!

[@nicolehosein284]

Another great video with valuable tips. I have a better idea about what I like and now it's more about deciding on a few pieces out of the many options you shared that will work with my modern farm house style. What I will take away most from this is when you said dont look at the name of the furniture but if it serves the function you have in mind. It makes so much sense now, thanks Julie. Oh and I'd love to see how you choose mirrors for entryway and bathrooms 😉

[@JulieKhuu]

It’s less about the sofa, more about the wall the sofa sits on and what compass direction that lines up with. But if you’re struggling, I know others are too! Love this topic for a future video 🙌☺️

Thank you Julie. I recently found your channel. You are so helpful and easy to listen with great pointers, quick jump on a topic and not too long of elaboration. There is nothing more irritating and disrespectful than seeing popular designers mocking anything that they consider not the latest trend and people who own these pieces instead of giving practical advice for different budgets. Your advice on using variety of cabinets for storage of shoes is spot on. I purchased nice front entry cabinet with drawers from Costco, since Ikea and Wayfare is not available in my state, and we store all our hats, gloves and dog winter jackets and booties in it. now, I am in search of vertical shoe storage idea for garage since most of our shoes get wet from rain and snow. I am wondering if there are any narrow plastic trays that could be inserted in any of these cabinets to keep the shelves from getting wet or very dirty or some sort of idea what could be inserted?

[@JulieKhuu]

I would probably dedicate a vertical rack especially for wet/muddy boots and line the bottoms with a silicone tray. They make all shapes and sizes, I found a few on Amazon that would work. Thank you for watching and supporting the channel 🙏☺️

[@vanessatram792]

Hi Julie, I love all of your videos, so helpful. I will be grateful if you can make a video about how to make narrow/ small entryway look bigger. I will have a loft conversion done and my staircase is in the living room. Following the UK regulations, to have a loft conversion done, we need to build a wall to separate the staircase to a room (the theory is that if there is fire happens, the smoke will go up so people on the upper floor will know rather than the smoke fills up the room downstairs first then slowly moving up). This will make my house entrance very small and narrow. I am looking into ideas of how to make it looks bigger. Many thanks.

[@JulieKhuu]

They all look great but remember shoes like runners do smell after a while. I had a leather bench for years that outdoor shoes went into.

Great point! Invest in some cedar blocks to help combat the smell. If you stuff newspaper in sneakers, it helps absorb smell and mildew

[@Lena-cl6ye]

A timely video! My (30 year old) apartment has a very dated looking built-in shoe cabinet in the entryway, which is very handy. One of my future projects is to redo this cabinet. The cabinet has slanted shelves which I find impractical and annoying. They're fine for sneakers and flats, but I find heels tend to "slip" down the shelf and the little "fence" at the bottom of the shelf (which prevents the shoe from slipping right off the shelf) may scuff the shoe. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. When I replace this cabinet, I'm totally getting flat shelves.😊

The intent is there, but execution needs to be refined to suit your lifestyle 🙌☺️

Hi Julie,nice and helpful video as usual..one question though..i am from NE India where everyone wear shoes inside..but i like the idea of putting off the shoes inside..if we tuck in all the shoes in a cabinet,how can visitors get a message that we don't allow shoes? On the other hand,i hate clutter and i couldn't stand the idea of putting indoor slippers in plain sight..any solutions?

[@JulieKhuu]

I get this question frequently- some even suggested to leave a little note at the entry to remove outside shoes alongside a basket of new socks/ washable house slippers to guests to slip into

[@ginawinton87]

Hey Julie, this is off the subject, but I currently have expresso color kitchen cabinets and I want to freshen them up. My walls are Shitake by SW I want to go cream or a color close to the walls. Can you help me decide please. I trust your taste. Kindest Regards Gina

[@JulieKhuu]

If your walls are flat, I would go with Shitake eggshell or satin sheen on the cabinets, especially if you want it to blend in. The slight sheen will actually make the color look a bit different

But some racks have doors with no holes. Because in rainy seasons shoes socks smell very bad. So it needs to have ventilation holes in rack so that the smell or odour coming from shoes or socks can escape.

The problem with the closed shoes storage in this pricey pieces is thr smells. The rubbery dirty shoe!foot smell greets you every time you open the doors. I. Constantly spraying the drawled and shoes with perfume to get rid of the problem. I wouldn’t spend a lot of money on the piece… if it’s solid wood that’s going to absorb odors.
