Choosing the right design

Then there are shoe rack designs with separate cubes for each pair of shoe cabinets that have shelves instead of cubes. And let’s not forget the oh-so-stylish shoe racks with benches that let you sit down and tie up those tricky laces in peace. 

When purchasing a closed shoe cabinet, make sure it offers ample ventilation. Proper air circulation is important to disparate unpleasant odours and keep your shoes in top-notch condition. Open shoe cabinets will naturally allow more ventilation across all your footwear, but will require dusting once in a while in case dust settles on the footwear. 

 If you have limited space in your foyer area, opt for sleek and slim shoe cabinets that can fit into a busy hallway or a narrow doorway. At IKEA, you will get a variety of slim shoe rack cabinets with only two front legs that can be placed close to a wall without wasting any floor space. For larger spaces, a bigger, stylish shoe cabinet will be a great fit.

Selecting the right material 

Shoe stands, racks and cabinets are available in a variety of materials including metal, wood, fabric and plastic. Wooden shoe racks and cabinets are sturdy and complement almost any decor style, especially if you want your space to have a rustic appeal. If you are going for a more modern or industrial vibe, choose a metal shoe case. If you are looking for affordable shoe storage solutions, plastic or fabric shoe units are your best options. 

Consider your floor space

One of the main things that you need to consider before you buy a shoe rack online or from a store is the space where you are planning to keep it. If you want to keep it somewhere with a limited floor area, choose narrow and slim shoe rack cabinets. A wall-mounted shoe rack is also a great option for limited spaces. 

If you plan to keep your shoe unit at the entrance of your house, in the hallway or inside a walk-in closet, a shoe rack with a seat is a great option for you. 

Capacity

Having a designated spot for your  shoes will be a complete waste of money and effort if you still have to deal with footwear lying on the floor! Make sure to choose a steel or wooden shoe rack online that has ample space for all your footwear. If you have less than ten pairs of shoes, IKEA’s 2-compartment shoe cabinets are the perfect option for you.
