Let’s cut to the chase here. You are a person with many pairs of shoes. Everyone on the Real Homes team is putting their hands up to that one, too. But being the owner of many pairs of shoes could mean much clutter, which isn’t good, is it? It’s not ideal for the shoes either and you don’t want all those lovely pairs compromised by being chucked in the bottom of the wardrobe...
Where can we all turn for ideas for better shoe organization? Why the inspiring duo who are The Home Edit, Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, of course. If anyone can show the way to fabulous shoe storage it’s these two organizational geniuses.
The pair recently showed some very appealing shoe storage on Insta, and we’ve shared it below. Their arrangement is fabulously colourful as you might expect from the professionals, who love to use the order of the rainbow (that’s ROYGBIV – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet – for those not yet in the swing) to organize.
Don’t worry if your shoe collection lacks equal colour scope, though. The hack will work equally well for pairs in fewer shades. Take a look at the other fabulous shoe organization ideas we’ve found, and we have plenty of other bedroom storage ideas in our dedicated feature.
