For those who love shoes, an ad hoc shoe cabinet storage can be envisaged

In addition to aesthetics, a very important factor when furnishing a home is the ability to create spaces tailored to one’s needs and way of life. For example, a walk-in wardrobe cannot do without an organisation that reflects the wardrobe of the person using it, especially if they consider their clothes important. In addition to clothes, some people are particularly fond of shoes and have many pairs of shoes, both collectors’ and everyday: in those cases, a useful piece of furniture to provide is a shoe cabinet storage.

Walk-in shoe cabinet storage, to store and display your collection

That’s right: those who really have many different pairs can have an entire room in the room dedicated to them, which can be, just like clothes, put on display and become a design element. If you don’t want to dedicate an entire walk-in wardrobe to shoes, you can carve out a space, larger or smaller depending on your needs, in the room where the entire wardrobe is stored. An ad hoc solution for shoes is a useful and very stylish detail.

From the most elegant to the most low-cut, how to organise the interior of the shoe cabinet storage

As with any walk-in wardrobe, you can design the interior of a shoe cabinet storage in a totally customised way. If you have a collection of shoes, for example, you will probably have shoes of different types, and therefore different heights, from elegant high-heeled shoes to low trainers or trainers to boots, to be grouped by type.

A first trick is therefore to place shelves at different heights, so that each category has sufficient space, without wasting it. It is ideal to place the pairs that are used most often in privileged positions, so that they can be easily accessed, but the entire collection must be easy to reach: a walk-in wardrobe dedicated to shoes makes it easier to choose what to wear! Alternative solutions could be inclined or pull-out shelves if there are a lot of shoes.

Lighting and ventilation, some things not to be forgotten

To give additional support at the moment of choice, you need interior lighting, perhaps thanks to LEDs to be placed under the shelves, or even behind the shoe, so that you can see its entire contents. Furthermore, it is useful to include in the shoe cabinet storage a space where you can physically put your shoes, with mirrors and a seat or something to lean against. If the dimensions are large, it is also advisable to think about a ventilation system to avoid unpleasant odours.

With a cabinet with doors, shoes will be protected. And if you want to put them on display….

Regardless, having a shoe cabinet storage gives you a better chance of protecting and storing your shoes than if you leave them, in no particular order, in another cupboard, because each one has its own specific place there. The walk-in closet can be open and therefore open or closed with doors, hinged or sliding.

Closing it will increase the protection of its contents, and if you want your shoes to be both protected and seen, you can think of transparent doors, using metal for example or, for very refined furniture, glass or crystal. If you really want to create something extremely customised, you can choose small doors for each pair, as if each was contained in a mini wardrobe.

Bedroom or hallway, where to place the shoe cabinet storage

Where to place this very special piece of furniture dedicated to one’s shoes? It can find a place either in the bedroom or in other rooms such as the hallway, where you usually put on and take off your shoes. Don’t forget that it can be part of the cabinet dedicated to the entire wardrobe, in which case ideally at the bottom.

As far as styles and materials are concerned, there are ideas for a shoe cabinet storage for every interior design, from wood that suits both classic and modern, unfinished or lacquered and decorated, or metal.
