Organizing Inspiration - SHOES! {Canton/Akron Home Organizer}


Thank you to everyone who has donated shoes to Soles 4 Souls. I am happy to pick up any shoes that you would like to donate during the month of December. And don't forget: Donate 10 or more pairs, and you will be entered into a drawing for a free organizing session! Details in my previous post...

I encourage you to take 20 minutes to sort through your shoes and bag up the ones you no longer need. And if you have just a little more time, why not organize the shoes you are keeping?!?! Use these photos and products below to inspire you!

I saw the first snowflakes of the winter this morning, which means that wet boots will be an issue very soon. If you have room for those boots in your garage, use an inexpensive floor mat to designate a home for them. If you plan to store your boots in the house, use a large old sheet tray and some aquarium pebbles to keep all that melting snow off your floor.

If you are running out of space for your shoes, try a floor-to-ceiling shoe tree!

Cubbies and shelves in your closet will keep your shoes visible, making it easier to pick the perfect pair for a night out.

This awesome space-saver from Ikea has four drawers that tilt down to reveal a handy home for your shoes. Its slim design makes it the perfect solution for small spaces.

In my own home, we enter the house through the garage, where there is only the smallest of landings before stairs that lead up to the kitchen. To make the most of the space, we use an over-the-door shoe organizer like this one from Target.


Believe it or not, the shoe rack doesn't move around or make it difficult to get in and out through that door. And now, our shoes are right there where we need them when it's time to head out the door.
