Wars for order in the hallway are most often caused by shoes lying around. Each family member usually has more than one pair, which leads to problems. A shoe rack in the hallway can solve the problem. They come in different varieties and types, so there is plenty to choose from.
Types of furniture for storing shoes
Storing shoes is a perennial problem. Hallways are usually not as spacious as we would like, so everything needs to be placed compactly, but so that access is free. Shoe holders help you cope with the task different types and types. If we try to give a definition, we can say that a shoe rack is an open or closed shelf for shoes. Closed ones are called shoe chests or cabinets, open ones are called “shelves” or “stands.” If the design is not specified, the general concept of “shoe rack” is used.
Shoe storage system closed type can be done in different ways. All models can be divided into several groups:
Such furniture for storing shoes is called a chest of drawers or (cabinet) for shoes. There is no clear division. Everyone uses the name they like best.
Closed models
Closed models of shoe racks are called a shoe cabinet or chest of drawers. They vary in size. Height - from 50 cm to 220 cm, width - from 30 to 120 cm, depth - from 17 to 55 cm. Next, we will consider how tall a shoe rack in the hallway can be. It is this factor that is considered first.
Wardrobes or chests of drawers for shoes - this is the name of closed-type shoe boots
Low
Low shoe boots are made up to 50-55 cm high. They usually have only one shelf on which to place seasonal shoes one man. And only if he is not very keen on buying new shoes/sandals/boots. Occasionally, two low shelves are made in a low shoe rack. Only summer or autumn shoes without heels can be placed normally. Boots and even boots will no longer fit on such shelves. Unless you put them sideways.
They may be small in depth
The advantage of a low chest of drawers for shoes can be the seat. That is, in your hallway there is not just a bench/banquette for putting on shoes, but furniture for shoes with a seat. Rational use of all available space is what this option also provides.
Medium height
With a height of 60 to 120 cm, the shelves are already enough to accommodate the shoes of a family of 3-4 people. In this segment there are chests of drawers for shoes with open shelves, which are placed on the sides of the shoe shelves. Most often there is a long and narrow section for storing an umbrella. Ladies can adapt this section to high boots.
There are different styles, you can choose them to suit any interior.
There are models of chests of drawers for shoes in the upper part of which there is a shelf for small items; there are also drawers for storing gloves, keys, etc. For rational use space above the shoe cabinet you can or.
Tall shoe cabinets
Perhaps the most interesting category. It makes sense to take these shoe racks in the hallway at the same height as the closet (if you have one in your hallway). Even though not all shelves can be easily reached, you can put off-season or weekend shoes on the top ones. In addition to traditional shoe cabinets with hinged doors, there is a narrow shoe cabinet with pull-out shelves. This option is good if you have a small distance - 30-40 cm - between, say, a closet and a wall. It is in such niches that you can put such narrow and deep shoe cabinets. They are also called “shoe cases”.
A cabinet for shoes of small width is called a “pencil case”
A closed shoe rack in the hallway is good because the doors reliably hide order or disorder. Second positive point- aesthetic. Many people like these models better than open shelves. Closed models also have disadvantages. The first is that shoes dry in them longer, the second is that their price is higher, since more material is required.
Shoe racks in an open hallway
Design of a shoe rack in the corridor open type simple: two sidewalls to which the shelves are attached. In height, they are usually either low - up to 50 cm high, or medium in height - up to a meter. High ones are extremely rare. There are also several typical models in this category:
- A regular shoe rack. Height - up to 80 cm, width - from 50 cm, depth - from 35 cm, otherwise large men's shoes will not fit in it. A simple shoe stand has from two to five shelves, depending on the height. Some models have closed shelves on the sides. They can be used for storing shoes and other things.
Shoe shelves are one of the most practical options. The downside is that dust settles on the shoes... well, and the fact that you have to maintain order
- Shoe rack with seat. The height of this furniture for storing shoes is small - around 50-60 cm. Otherwise, it is uncomfortable to sit. Their width starts from 60 cm, depth - from 40 cm. When purchasing such a model, pay attention to the strength of the frame: it can withstand the weight of a sitting person.
If the shoe rack is divided into cells, make sure that they are rectangular - square ones are inconvenient... The cheapest ones are plastic shelves for shoes
They can be made of wood, metal or a combination of these materials. If we talk about the choice of material, then it makes sense to match the furniture that is already in your hallway. If you cannot find the same material or color, look for a similar one. Simple ones look neutral metal models. This shoe rack will fit into the hallway of any style.
Shoe shelves made of wood or MDF look more interesting. Even simple wooden shelf might look good. It benefits from the texture of the wood. It doesn't have to be hidden behind a door.
There are also open shoe racks, which are called racks or shoe stands. They don't have shelves; the blades on which the shoes are placed are made of wire or plastic. A very convenient and compact way to store summer and autumn shoes. Such shoes small space fits up to 36 pairs. There is a special model for “installing” boots. The number of pairs is smaller, but the problem with creases in the tops has been solved. A worthy solution.
It is difficult to give a name to such structures. The most appropriate name is a rack or hanger))
They look good and are made from chipboard and MDF. They are usually laminated with wood-like films, which gives them solidity. Next to the open shelf there may be a couple of closed ones. This option is not bad: you can store in open ones those pairs that you are currently wearing, in closed ones you can rarely put on shoes or until the time has come for them.
What materials are they made from?
Shoe racks in the hallway are made from the following materials:
All these varieties may have different shelves. The usual solid ones - plastic, chipboard, MDF - are not very convenient. Dust and dirt accumulate on them, they impede the movement of air, which is why the shoes dry worse. The best option- made of metal wire or several pipes/pins on which shoes are placed.
It is convenient if the distance between the shelves and/or their number can be changed. For the summer you can put more shelves, for the winter you can remove a couple of shelves - longer distances are needed for shoes and boots.
Pull-out shelves are a great idea...the main thing is to implement it
The shelves can also be not only stationary, but also retractable, which is also very convenient. Especially if the shoe rack for the hallway has great depth. We need to get to the last row of shoes - we pulled out the shelf. And there is no need to bend over or look while standing in an awkward position.
Unusual and non-standard models
For the most part, a shoe rack for a hallway is furniture that is placed on the floor. But there are several varieties that are hung on vertical surfaces: walls, doors. For example, the PitStop wall-mounted shoe rack. The shelves in it are folding, each divided into three cells. One shelf - two drawers. If desired, they can be hung one above the other or placed horizontally.
There is a shoe rack made of wire that can be hung on any vertical surface. This could be the same wall, the door of a closet, pantry, dressing room, etc. They are a great replacement for a shoe organizer. They are, of course, more expensive, but they are more convenient to use, the shoes don’t wrinkle as much and hold their shape better. A couple of such options can be seen in the photo below.
Hanging shoe shelves can be placed in a narrow partition, between the wall and the cabinet, on the side of the cabinet. This will help organize the space of a small hallway.
Rotating models
Among non-standard models, you can also remember racks and rotating shelves. If there are a lot of shoes, there is not much space to place them, but there is a free corner, you can install a rack with rotating shelves. The corners are difficult to fully use, and a rotating shelf will fit there perfectly. And it fits a lot of shoes.
A rotating shoe rack is a good idea for optimal use of space
For small hallways in small apartments there are even more interesting option: combined hallway with a shelf for shoes. This furniture is double sided. On one side there are hangers for clothes, on the other there are shelves for shoes. The entire structure rotates around its axis. You need to hang your coat - turn it to the side with the hooks. I need to put my shoes on - they turned the shelves towards me.
Such furniture can probably be placed in the corner. It will take up little space. At all, interesting idea. Although, you can also find a shoe rack with a hanger or mirror. But they are stationary and do not use space so efficiently.

Almost everything modern styles The design of rooms strives for minimalism and hiding from view things that are not part of the interior. As confirmation of this thesis, we can cite wardrobes that reliably hide clothes and other home textiles behind their doors.
In relation to boots, this function is performed by allowing the shoes in the house to be compactly arranged. In addition, thanks to the efforts of designers, this element can easily become a decoration for your hallway.
The answer to this question suggests itself: a narrow shoe rack is needed when no other shoe furniture simply fits in the hallway. Unfortunately, building apartment buildings, developers do not always leave enough space for a hallway. As a result, it is quite difficult for a family of several people to place their seasonal shoes in the hallway, not to mention storing those that are not currently in use.
The only way out of this situation is to purchase a narrow, but high, and therefore roomy shoe rack. With a width of about half a meter, it fits perfectly behind the door, so it can even be installed in the corridor if there is no hallway in the room.
Most often, to achieve a minimum width, manufacturers resort to vertical placement of shoes. This allows you to place shoes that are not at all small in size in a narrow cabinet.
Even if you are limited in the choice of shoe racks in terms of width, do not despair: the range of narrow shoe racks is quite large, so choose a model that suits your needs. appearance to the general atmosphere of the hallway, it will not be difficult.

Types of products
There are several parameters for choosing shoe racks: width, shape, configuration, material of manufacture and finishing.
Width
Standard cabinets and shelves for shoes are, as a rule, 60-80 cm wide. Although, you can also find wider options (100-120 cm). Such models are spacious, allow you to store any shoes (high and low) without deforming them. However, you can only place a wide shoe rack in a spacious hallway.
Narrow shoe racks were developed especially for small rooms. Their width can be only 13-18 cm. You can even place such a cabinet or shelf in the hallway or behind a drop-down door.
Unfortunately, the narrow model cannot accommodate winter shoes, due to the high tops.
A compromise option would be narrow shoe racks 40-50 cm wide. Shoes are placed more freely in them, which means they dry out better.
Of course, there are also exclusive models of narrow but tall shoe racks for the hallway with a depth of 20, or even up to 15 cm, for example, but most often they are made to order.

By shape
In a broad sense, all shoe racks can be divided into two large groups: open and closed. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages.
- So, on open shelves, shoes dry out more easily, and the material from which they are made “breathes.” However, it is quite difficult to avoid dust if you have an open shoe rack in the hallway. It is not advisable to purchase this kind of model for those who have pets who like to snatch and chew on an expensive shoe.
- Shoes placed behind the doors are not visible to prying eyes, which means that the aesthetic impression of the hallway interior will not be disturbed. But storing dirty shoes in closets is unhygienic, and the shoe rack itself will quickly lose its original appearance. Therefore, shoes should be wiped over and over again before putting them in the closet.
Here are the most common shoe rack options:
- Bon shoe cabinet. Refers to wide and roomy shoe racks. It is a display case with doors. The shoe compartments are spacious, allowing you to store not only shoes, but also boots. Sometimes mesh shelves are installed in such cabinets, which promotes even better ventilation;
- Slim cabinets. These are narrow shoe racks, most suitable small apartments. Their secret is that the shoes are placed in vertical cells, standing not on the sole, but on the toe. The doors do not move sideways, like regular cabinets, but fan out. They can open straight or just 45°. There are also options without doors, which, in fact, are narrow slim shelves for shoes in the hallway;
- Galoshnitsa. This is perhaps the easiest way to store shoes. It is an open shelf on which it is convenient to keep casual shoes. This model is often modified. The upper surface of a narrow overshoe for shoes turns into a table for various small things or into a seat, leaning on which in the hallway, it is much more convenient to put on shoes;
- Cabinet-cabinet. It usually has small in size and contain only two or three shelves. Cabinets are often sold complete with other pieces of furniture (cabinets, hangers, etc.). Shoes are placed horizontally in them. As a rule, the height of the shelf is only sufficient for shoes and short boots;
- Closet. In the hallway you can use a closet designed only for shoes, or one that can also accommodate outerwear. Of course, such a model will take large area, but it will allow you to store all your outerwear and shoes in one place.
By configuration
So, according to their configuration, shoe racks are divided into shelves, cabinets and benches.
- Frequently used shoes are placed on the shelves. This is more convenient than looking in the closet every time.
- To make putting on shoes more comfortable, turn them into benches.
- Convenient to keep behind closed doors various shoes for all seasons. Closed tall slim cabinets are great for narrow hallways. Especially when there are many residents in the apartment, and there is little space to store shoes.
By material
Shoe racks are made from various materials, which allows you to find suitable model, as for the hallway in classic style, and for .
Most often used:
- MDF, chipboard and fibreboard. Inexpensive and lightweight materials;
- Metal (open narrow forged shoe shelves look very stylish in the hallway);
- . Natural and durable material, from the entrance making it clear to guests that the owners are not devoid of either taste or money. However, it is not always appropriate;
- Rattan. Shoe racks made from this material fit perfectly into rustic interiors, like . They will be in their place even when your apartment is furnished in African style;
