Why might you need under bed shoe storage? Well, are you often late in the mornings because you can’t find your other shoe? Have you lost track of how many pairs of shoes you have because you haven’t seen them all in one place? Do you often find some of your shoes damaged from dust or other elements because they haven’t been stored properly?
If you answered yes to these questions then it sounds like you need a way to store and organize your shoes properly. Storing your shoes in an orderly manner not only makes it easier to access your shoes but also extends the lifespan of your footwear. Under bed shoe storage is only one of the methods that you can try.
Under the bed shoe storage is the most ideal storage solution for women whose closets are not big enough for all their shoes. However, before you start looking into any type of shoe storage, the first thing you need to do is find out how many pairs of shoes are you actually using.
Chances are you will find many pairs of shoes that you even forgot you had because you haven’t worn them in ages. In this case, you have to decide whether to keep the shoes or not. If it breaks your heart to let a perfectly good pair of shoes go to waste, you can always sell or donate them.
Next, group your shoes into categories. For instance, you can group them into office shoes, winter boots, party shoes, summer sandals, flip flops and such. This will make it much easier to store them with an under bed shoe organizer.
So what exactly do you need for under bed shoe storage? There are many storage materials that you can try. If you don’t want to spend any money or even exert any effort, simply keep the original boxes that your shoes came in when you purchased them from the store.
Not only will you get to save money but these boxes will also be the perfect size for each pair you have. The only problem with this underbed shoe organizer method is that you won’t be able to see what pair is in what box. The solution? Simply snap a Polaroid picture of the pair of shoes that you’ve stored in that particular box. Paste the photo outside the box and voila! Now you don’t have to open each box before you access the pair you want.
If you have a bit of money to spare or if you’ve already thrown away your shoes’ original boxes, then you may want to purchase clear boxes that are specifically made for shoes. Make sure you purchase boxes for each size and shape—from your ballet flats to your mid-calf boots.
Transparent boxes are popular when it comes to under bed shoe storage. They can easily let you see what shoes are in each box and your shoes will also look better since they are in uniform boxes. If you run out of space under your bed, you can even pile these boxes on top of the other in one corner of your room to show off your footwear collection.
