Old-world charm for today's busy hallways. Here you have room for up to 8 pair of shoes, a great bench to sit on – and no good excuses for not putting your things in the right place.
Product details
Shoe storage and bench in one – a perfect helper for keeping your hallway tidy.
There’s room for 4 pairs of shoes on the shelf, and you enjoy additional space for another 4 pairs of shoes by adding BAGGMUCK shoe mat that fits perfectly.
The shelf is made of stretched metal – a smart way to use as little material as possible, while allowing any dirt to fall through the holes.
The height of the shoe rack’s shelf makes it easy to clean underneath the bench. If you use BAGGMUCK shoe mat, just pull it out when it's time to clean.
You can also place nice baskets or boxes on the shelf for easy access to gloves and hats or other smaller items.
The frame is made of durable and timeless powder-coated steel, while the seat of the bench is made of fibreboard so it’s softer for you to sit on.
Complete your bench with chair pads for even better comfort, IKEA has a wide selection of styles and colours.
This bench perfectly matches in depth and height with NIPÅSEN coat rack with shoe storage, so that they can be placed seamlessly side by side.

NIPÅSEN coat rack and bench w shoe storage
Product development isn’t only about creating new products. For us at IKEA, it’s just as important to renew and improve the products that are already in the range. With NIPÅSEN coat rack and bench with shoe storage, we succeeded in improving functionality, reducing the amount of material, and lowering the price of smart hallway storage.
This time, the first idea came from one of our suppliers – who are just as convinced as we are that everything can be improved. “They discovered that if one of our coat racks was made a bit narrower, you could use steel pipes with thinner dimensions without losing strength. This meant less material usage and a lower price, which is always great,” says Christos Stefanoudakis, who works with product development.
Ideas lead to new ideas
The supplier’s suggestion also spurred Christos and his colleagues on. “While we were at it, more ideas for improvement came up – it became like a snowball effect. By removing the lower shelf, we made room for higher shoes and boots and made cleaning easier. And saved material!” The shoe shelf that was kept turned out to have savings potential, too. “It was made of a metal sheet with a punched pattern. But now we chose stretch metal which, when stretched, forms a net-like pattern. That adjustment reduced the material used for the shelf by two-thirds.”
Smarter storage at a lower price
The style and expression were carried over from the old coat rack, but in the end the updates were so many that it had to become a completely new product: NIPÅSEN. “We managed to make the storage even smarter and more space-saving at a lower price. That feels good, especially as we know that in most parts of the world the hallway is a limited space that needs to hold many things. Making more from less is becoming more and more important – and it’s fun, too!”

“Hallways may look different across the world, but the need for somewhere to unload your things when you get home is universal. When I designed NIPÅSEN, I wanted to create open and easily accessible storage where everyone in the family can find a hook or a shelf, transforming the returning home activity into a seamless and organised ritual. There is room here for everything from jackets and grocery or gym bags to shoes, keys and dog leashes."
