A Shoe Rack with Drawers – A Fresh Idea for Shoe Storage
I’ve heard of Shoe Racks. I’ve heard of Shoe Cubbies. And I’ve even heard of Shoe Closets. But I’ve never heard of Shoe Drawers. The concept actually makes sense – A drawer is just as easy to use as a cubby, and, depending on the style, it can be a lot more affordable. The other nice thing about storing shoes in a drawer is that your shoes will be protected from dust, insects and light. This is a great idea for storing out of season shoes, or just older shoes that you don’t want to get rid of.
If you have a great collection of shoes and they cost you a pretty penny, it’s really hard to part with them, and this can be a great way to organize them. If you have an empty dresser or a drawer or two that you don’t use already in your bedroom, by all means, use these for your shoes! If not, you may want to invest in either a multiple drawer unit, or single, stackable drawers.
Here are some ideas and tips about what and how to make your selection:
-
Wicker Drawers – This is definitely the most attractive option. A nice wicker drawer unit looks great in the corner of the bedroom or hallway, so you don’t have to worry about tucking it in the back of the closet. Use this stylish storage rack for shoes, purses and accessories that you use frequently.
-
Plastic Drawers – It’s very easy to find plastic drawer systems, and they are pretty cheap. These, however, should be used in the garage or in the closet, so you (and your guests) don’t have to look at them. A cheap set of printer mailing labels can help you sort by season, designer, purpose or color! TIP: Since plastic drawers are not breathable, you will want to use a natural freshener, such as cedar in each drawer to keep odors to a minimum.
