Find Shoe Storage in the Unlikeliest Places!
Do you feel like you’ve already filled every single inch of every shoe rack in your home? I do! If you’re not ready to part with your important footwear, but you are fed up trying to find places to put it, have you looked under your bed lately? The under side of a bed is a great storage place, but is often overlooked in homes. You can put virtually anything under the bed for storage, and specially designed underbed boxes make this a cinch!
Here are tips for different types of under bed storage for shoes, how to choose them and how to use them!
- Under the Bed Storage Boxes – these are storage boxes that can be used for anything, from sweaters and shoes to holiday decorations. They are usually long and pretty flat, so they will slide under the bed easily. They sometimes have lids and wheels, some are rigid plastic and others are canvas, or vinyl. These are all great for holding shoes, except for an underbed storage drawer, because the shoes tend to get caught when pulling the drawer out (the underbed drawer is great for other items, though, including towels and linens).
- Under Bed Shoe Chest – this is a great box, designed just for shoes. It holds up to 16 pairs of shoes, each is divided by a plastic divider. I like the fact that it is crystal clear, so you can see what is in there without opening it. It is also a nice, flexible vinyl material, which is really easy to pull in and out from under the bed!
Tip: If your boxspring is on the floor, and you don’t have underbed storage space, a set of bed risers can help. Bed Risers raise your bed, when on a frame, from 4 to 15”, giving you tons of storage options underneath. Most underbed storage boxes are about 6” high, so you will need to have at least that much clearance. Check all measurements on the boxes and risers before purchasing.
