Entryway shoe storage can be achieved with aesthetically pleasing shoe racks, but they can take up valuable floor space and create a cramped feeling in small spaces. To free up floor space, consider a clever hack using a coat rack to organize shoes on the wall instead of the floor. By hanging shoes on the coat hooks, you can repurpose your old shoe rack and create a clear entryway floor.
To implement this hack, simply attach a wall-mounted coat rack to a low spot on the wall using screws and a drill. For smaller families, individual coat hooks can be used instead of a full rack. This method can also be used to separate types of shoes, such as dress shoes and sneakers, or children’s sports shoes from regular footwear.
Other ways to use the coat rack hack for shoes
This hack can also be used in closets to free up space for other items. It can promote organization in a child’s closet or be a renter-friendly solution by using command strips to mount the coat rack. To address the issue of exposed shoe soles, consider mounting a curtain rod set to hide the shoes when not in use. Another option is to mount a small cabinet on the wall and place the coat hooks inside for a neat and hidden shoe storage solution.
