How to Choose the Right Dimensions for Shoe Storage

Shoe storage is often a challenge for any home, especially when we want to keep the space organized and stylish. If you are looking for the ideal shoe rack or storage furniture for the entryway, closet or bedroom , then the right dimensions are A and Z.

In this article, we will analyze what you should pay attention to when choosing shoe storage dimensions, so that you combine functionality, aesthetics and comfort.

1. Calculate how many pairs you want to store

The first step is to determine the number of pairs you want to store. A typical pair of shoes needs about 20-25 cm in width and 30-35 cm in depth. Depending on the type of shoes (heels, sneakers, boots), the volume varies.

For example:

• 10 pairs require approximately 1 meter of width.
• 20+ couples need larger units or more shelves.

2. Choose the appropriate furniture dimensions

Width

• Small shoe racks : 60-80 cm.
• Medium: 100-120 cm.
• Large: 130+ cm.

Depth

• Ideal depth: 30-40 cm.
• If you have limited space (e.g. narrow entrance): choose slim shoe cabinets with push-open or tilting doors.

Height

• Low (up to 60 cm): ideal for a living room or bedroom .
• Taller units (80-120 cm or more): suitable for large families or spaces with a lot of storage needs.

3. Consider the storage type

There are different types of storage, depending on your needs:

• Open shelves: easy access, ideal for daily use.
• Cabinets with doors: for a cleaner & tidier look.
• Vertical units: take advantage of height, save space.
• Entrance furniture with a seat: dual function and style.

4. Adapt to the available space

Carefully measure the space where the furniture will be placed. Ideally:

• Leave a 5-10 cm margin around the shoe rack so that the space does not become "cluttered".
• Consider whether the doors/drawers open easily.
• Prefer corner solutions or wall-mounted shelves for small spaces.

5. Don't forget the boots and high shoes

Boots need more height per shelf, at least 35-40 cm. high. If you have many pairs of tall shoes, it is a good idea to choose units with adjustable shelves or special compartments.

Bonus Tip: Combine storage with design

Storage is not only practical, it can also be decorative. Choose shoe racks that match the style of your space, whether it's minimal, rustic or modern.
