Seattle Closet Organization: Storing Your Shoes

Seattle Closet Organization: Storing Your Shoes Some people collect trains, some collect cookbooks. All over Washington, women collect shoes. Closets in Tacoma, Bellevue, Olympia and points beyond are bursting with piles of gorgeous footwear, but their owners are wearing black pumps because they can’t find the perfect pair in all the clutter. You bought those shoes, women of Seattle; closet organization will help you find them! Organize! To truly organize your shoes, unfortunately, you first need to organize your closet. Set aside a time when you’re feeling practical and can work for a few hours. Sort clothing, accessories and, yes, shoes, into three piles: keep, donate, and toss. Be merciless. If you haven’t worn those patent leather thigh-high boots for two years, they need to go. So do the busted sandals and the six-inch stilettos you haven’t been able to wear since you had children. Somewhere, there is a college student who will adore them. And remember, once you trim your collection, you’ll have room for, well, more shoes! Shoe Storage You have plenty of options for storing your shoes. The method most often mentioned is putting each pair in its own plastic container (or keeping it in its original box), taking a photo, and placing it on the box for easy identification. There are now stackable clear plastic cubes available for shoes and boots of all sizes. They are attractive (your footwear looks like it’s in a museum case) and negate the need for photos. You can also purchase shoe boxes with windows. You might also place your shoes in baskets or bins, sorted by type (this works well for children’s shoes). Placed on storage shelves, these containers are simple and attractive. Shoe Storage Systems Want something more than new boxes? Try one of the many organization systems available. You can find revolving shoe trees, large, free-standing wheeled shoe closets with zippered covers, and over-the-door racks or pockets. There are large shoe chests with racks inside; when you pull down the door, you reveal the rack. Install shoe cubbies, or make your own by placing a bookshelf inside your closet. You can also use an easy-to-assemble garage storage unit. Most closet systems have a space for shoes. These can be found at any Seattle closet organization or home improvement retailer. If you want to remodel your large master closet, consider adding an island with shoe drawers, or windowed cabinet storage to give your shoes a boutique-style display.
