IKEA Has A Compact Solution For Shoe Storage In Any Size Closet

Finding yourself constantly dodging a messy pile of sneakers and heels and boots at the bottom of your closet? Trying to keep all your shoes organized and contained is a universal struggle, especially if your goal is to keep your favorite pairs accessible but still out of the way. Finding a practical shoe storage solution gets even trickier when you're dealing with awkward closet layouts or limited space. Plus, each pair of shoes has a unique size and shape, and they all tend to bring the chaos when it comes time to organize them. Fortunately, IKEA has an adaptable option that maximizes vertical space without sacrificing tidy style: the HEMMAFIXARE shoe box.

Sold in a convenient two-pack, the HEMMAFIXARE box is a clever way to store shoes without a shoe cabinet and a great alternative for tight closet areas and expansive walk-ins alike. Instead of relying on a rigid shelf that eats up your floor space, these fabric-covered containers let you build upward efficiently. Each box is designed with a sleek, minimalist striped grey and white exterior that brings a little style and calm to your closet. The design is surprisingly structural, too; the boxes have a hidden interior frame and internal divider that allows you to store two pairs of shoes in a single box while separating them and keeping them protected from other messes. At just $15 for the pair, this organizer is a fantastic deal.

While there are countless closet organization tricks out there promising to tame the mess, stacking HEMMAFIXARE boxes really does offer up a tailored approach that'll fit your unique closet space needs. Thanks to their sturdy frames, these boxes are one of many great ways to ensure successful long-term shoe storage. This stackable, modular approach lets you add boxes as needed and make the most of some vertical space in your closet that may not be otherwise put to use. Plus, they have semi-transparent windows on the front and drop-down doors so you can easily see where each pair is and grab it, no matter how far down the stack it is.

To get started, take inventory of your shoe collection and figure out how many boxes you actually need. The boxes each measure 7 inches tall, 13 inches deep, and 9 inches wide, so there's plenty of room for tucking away anything from hiking boots to your favorite everyday slip-ons. When you're ready to set it up, choose a spot in your closet that will make the most out of some dead space. You can easily line them up on a high, hard-to-reach shelf or stack them right underneath your short hanging garments. No matter how you set up the IKEA HEMMAFIXARE shoe boxes, though, they're just one of many affordable IKEA items you can use to keep your bedroom clutter-free.
