Coming home on a cold winter day usually involves abandoning bulky layers and heavy boots as soon as you come in the door. That often means unsightly piles of shoes and boots in the entryway, mudroom or garage. Putting coats and shoes away every day doesn’t always make sense when you know they’ll just get brought out again tomorrow. So what is the solution to having winter clothes at hand without the mess? With the right shoe storage and some organizational supplies you can turn any entry in your house into a neat and welcoming space.
Shoes damp from the rain or snow need properly ventilated storage that allows them to quickly dry off before your next outing. The 2-Tier Stacking Metal Shoe Rack from Stacks and Stacks has shelves that allow for enough air flow so that shoes can dry and water doesn’t get trapped. An open top shelf provides storage space for all those tall rain or snow boots, so you’re not tripping over them every time you come through the door.
A stackable design means you can create as much storage as you need, even providing enough shelf space to use a shoe rack as shelving to store some boxes or baskets. Use a basket to store winter accessories like hats and gloves, while a free standing coat rack or wall mounted rack make a convent place to hang coats and scarves.
Look for shoe racks with durable construction, like metal or wood, that can stand up to everyday use. Compact design that can be stored in a bedroom or hall closet the rest of the year allows you to get the most out of a shoe rack. Consider keeping a stackable shoe rack by the back door and in the garage during winter, then use them together in a coat closet to store seasonal shoes when you’re not using them in the summer.
