5 Brilliant DIY Shoe Storage Ideas for Small Spaces

Tired of tripping over shoes in a cramped entryway? Living in a small apartment doesn’t mean your sneakers and sandals need to live in chaos. All you need are smart ideas — and your own two hands!

Here are 5 stylish and space-saving DIY shoe storage ideas you can build this weekend.

👟 1. Vertical Wooden Crate Rack

Stack wooden crates vertically against your wall. Secure them together and to the wall with brackets. Great for boots, sneakers, and even décor on top!

👞 2. Under-Bed Sliding Organizer

Use shallow bins or create a wooden tray with wheels to slide under your bed. Line it with anti-slip liners and store up to 12 pairs out of sight.

🪛 3. Pegboard Shoe Wall

Mount a pegboard panel behind your door or inside a closet. Add pegs or hooks to hang shoes by their heels — works especially well for heels and flats.

🪑 4. Entryway Bench with Hidden Storage

Build a simple bench with a lift-up lid. Store all your seasonal shoes inside while having a place to sit when you come home. Add a soft cushion for comfort and style.

👠 5. Hanging Canvas Shoe Organizer

Don’t underestimate the power of a hanging closet organizer. Mount it on the back of your door and use each pocket for sandals, flats, or accessories.
