When you love sneakers, it’s easy to lose count… The result? You quickly feel overwhelmed, especially when space is limited. Stuffing them into a closet? You risk damaging them. Stacking them in the corner of the living room? Not exactly attractive. Furniture could be the answer, but it needs to be large enough to house your entire sneaker collection without cluttering your (small) home. So, what’s the secret to optimal sneaker storage? Here are a few tips to help you neatly store your precious kicks.
Sneaker storage: Wall-mounted shelves
Wall-mounted shelves offer a dual advantage: they save valuable floor space while showcasing your sneakers beautifully. Available in various shapes and sizes, they can easily adapt to your space and sneaker collection.
For sneakerheads dreaming of displaying their shoes as pieces of art, wall-mounted display shelves are the perfect solution. Not only do they protect your sneakers from dust, but they also highlight them elegantly. These display shelves come in diverse styles: contemporary, vintage, classic, colourful and easily blend into any interior design.
Wall shelves also come in open or closed designs. The ideal solution? A combination of both. Open shelves provide easy access to your favourite pairs, while closed shelves (such as those with integrated drawers) protect your delicate sneakers or those you wear less frequently.
Vertical sneaker storage
Like wall-mounted shelves, vertical storage frees up floor space. Instead of placing your sneakers in bulky furniture, you can store them behind a door or on a wall using hooks or pegs. These need to be sturdy enough to support the weight of your sneakers, yet stylish enough to go harmoniously with your decor. If your collection is extensive, consider vertical shoe organizers with multiple hooks, which you can conveniently hang wherever you prefer.
Creative sneaker storage: Decorative ladders
Very trendy, decorative ladders are perfect for displaying your sneakers. Besides adding a stylish touch, they also have the advantage of being mobile. Simply placed against a wall in your living room or hallway, they create a striking visual effect. Of course, make sure the steps are wide enough to comfortably accommodate your sneakers. Whether you prefer wooden, colourful, or metal ladders, the choice is yours. A clever storage solution that’s both practical and uniquely creative!
Choose multifunctional furniture
Multifunctional furniture such as storage solutions from the famous Swedish company is both practical and functional. It ensures your sneakers stay perfectly organised and well-protected. Unlike traditional furniture, multifunctional pieces help save space by combining sneaker storage with another useful feature (such as seating or dining space). Examples include a two-in-one bench with built-in compartments or a coffee table featuring hidden storage.
Sneaker-specific storage solutions
There are storage solutions specially designed for sneaker collections. Examples include sneaker storage boxes, which can be placed neatly inside a wardrobe or displayed openly. These sneaker boxes are both practical and visually appealing. However, some sneaker-specific furniture may require significant space or even a dedicated room.
In short, say goodbye to traditional cardboard boxes stacked in a corner or piles of sneakers cluttering your entranceway! The tips mentioned above will help you organise your collection beautifully. 😊
