No nonsense shoe storage ideas

This hallway shoe storage shelf is brilliant due to its simplicity.

When nestled next to a matching staircase, as seen here, this hallway shoe storage shelf blends with its surroundings wonderfully and brings a stylised drama to any hallway space.

Scandinavian style shoe storage ideas

Simple, elegant and multi-functional, this white and beech coloured wooden shoe bench features integrated storage underneath and would be a a perfect addition to any home, especially one that already includes touches of Scandinavian design or favours a shabby chic style.

Crate shoe storage ideas

Imagination is a wonderful thing and can transform unexceptional items, such as an old crate, into eclectic furniture pieces. Used here as a striking table of a shabby chic variety, the same crate could be upcycled into a stunning hallway shoe storage piece. The natural wood will work well with any colour scheme and be robust enough to cope with shoes and wellingtons alike.

Quiet charm shoe storage ideas

Taking a back seat to the dramatic flooring concept, this hallway shoe storage has a quiet elegance. Shoes can be easily contained on the lower shelf to ensure a clean and tidy entrance area, as well as an undisturbed view of the hexagon floor tiles. This picture works so well as the monochrome tones of the floor showcase the warmth of the wood in the hallway shoe storage table.

The raw materials look phenomenal together and allows for your beautiful clothes and shoes to become part of your decorating style.

Industrial chic shoe storage ideas

For those who are fans of the industrial look, a hallway shoe storage rack constructed from building materials is a natural choice.

Ideal for open plan loft-style spaces or converted industrial premises, this hallway shoe storage can blend into its surroundings or make a statement; the choice is yours.

Small but perfectly formed shoe storage ideas

A single shoe plinth may not be an option for a family house (imagine the arguments about who gets to use the step every day!), but for a single person or even a tidy couple, this is a stylish and elegant hallway shoe storage solution. Opting for this style allows clothes and shoes to be showcased, rather than the rack they are being displayed on and allows other design features to draw the eye, such as this lovely wooden floor.

Mobile metal shoe storage ideas

Hallway shoe storage has gone mobile. Antique-style metal with attached wheels makes this coat and shoe rack a portable and stylish solution to the age old problem of cluttered hallways.

The ability to personalise is clear, as different sizes and colours could be utilised, making this a one off piece for everybody. 

Shoe storage bench ideas

Unless you have just one pair of shoes, more is more when it comes to hallway shoe storage. This shoe storage bench is perfect for a busy house with a lot of feet as clean, inoffensive pieces can be stored and displayed in the overhead 'locker' style boxes, while dirty or awkwardly shaped shoes can be sneakily hidden away in the ottoman bench. A great use of available space, this integrated hallway shoe storage solution is as practical as it is attractive.
