Make space! Which shoe cabinet suits you?

You have a mission: you want to get those shoes that are strewn all over the hallway (yours or his) tidied away and so you’re looking for shoe cabinets? Stylight can tell you exactly what you need to look out for when making your purchase and which shoe cabinets match your needs best.

Which shoe cabinet system is the right one?

  • The classic: There are shoe cabinets with drawers or doors in portrait or landscape format with one or may doors.. Tall models with little depth are ideal for narrow corridors with high ceilings- especially when they have sliding doors. Pull-out drawers or folding doors need more free space in the room. Wider shoe cabinets work well when placed near the ground, for example under a wall wardrobeWhat goes inside? Boots are well stowed in upright compartments. Square shelves or drawers hide away sneakers, sandals and other flatties.
  • The practical: Shoe cabinets with tipper system are fab for little rooms, because they can be attached to the door or wall and save space. What goes inside? Easy-care shoes like sneakers, mules and ballerina-flats can easily be popped into the so-called chutes. The tipper system is not so suitable for boots or other shoes that shouldn’t get squashed.

Which shoe cabinet suits your interior decor?

  • Wooden shoe cabinets: Natural, bright models fit in well with the Country-house style. Dark wood goes well in old buildings with large entryways.
  • Shoe cabinets with metal elements: Metal models or those with knobs, handles or other highly shiny details go with modern style homes, especially in the raw rust look.
  • The color choice for shoe cabinets: Black and white models are classical storage furniture that fit in with the whole look whether it’s minimalistic or brightly colored. If your entryway needs a little pop of color, then a vibrantly colored wooden or plastic shoe cabinet is awesome.

Shoe cabinets should have ventilation slits to give your shoes enough air. Otherwise when you put away damp shoes, you could have a problem with mould or musty smells. The shelves, drawers or chutes need to be big enough for the shoes they hold, especially for leathers models which should not be squashed or bent.

Shoe cabinets put your chaos in its place.
