Shoe storage design
Hello there,
I am looking for ideas how to sort out the issue of not having space for shoes at the entrance. There should be space for a total 70 shoes and 5 knee boots. The stairs to first floor are free standing; they needed long time to convince me to approve them, so I am not in the mood to build them up around now. But again, I have not seen any design that would impress me. Attaching the layout screenshot. The "...01 existing" is as it is now. House is still under construction, last bits and pieces, but the electrics are all in already for a while now. The only solution that I could think of is to move all the electrics to the other side of the wall (as on the layout"...02". But I was told this isn't possible; though not sure if it is actually impossible or they don't want to do it at this point.
Anyone here knowign if it would be possible to move electrics or anyone on herer having a splendid idea how to sort this out?
Many thanks,
Katy

3 years agoCan you please provide an image of the internal of the electric cupboard? What are the dimensions of the small closet next door to the electric cupboard? Electrics can always be moved but there is cost attached and moving a meter is really expensive.
You could extend the depth as you have indicated and use the elvarli solution to create a large show storage. We recently used this in our walk in wardrobe and it has worked well.

Storage of shoes!
Comments (20)I have seen these stairs via various links for a long time now. I think they are great BUT only if they self close. Imagine someone grabbing shoes on their way out late at night then in the night you go downstairs - only one of the stairs is an open drawer 1/2 full of shoes. Is it crash, bang, wallop or are there a couple of extra bangs and crashes to add in there? I think I would add small lights in each drawer that come on when the drawer opens (there are little LED units that are activated by them being moved away from the metal/magnet bit like the burglar alarm sensors you have on doors and windows. Apart from lighting the contents of the drawers it would also alert anyone coming down stairs that they are open. For us though 2 or 3 stair drawers wouldn't be enough. We have a shoe "cabinet" that is from IKEA. It stands about 7 feet tall and has 4 wardrobe doors. Unlike one commenter above who had to cut down wardrobe carcasses to do this here in Malaysia IKEA sells wardrobe carcasses in 3 depths - including the one we have for shoes that is just the right depth. IKEA even have all the slanting shelves etc. (we initially also had some pull out frames with vertically mounted shoe trees to hold your shoes. I don't recommend these. Stick to either shelves or slanted racks) Sadly, 7 feet high by 8 feet wide still isn't really enough. Granted the highest shelf behind 2 doors of the cupboard is reserved for shopping bags/freezer bag etc. but I only use about 1/4 of the now overflowing cupboard and there are only two of us. Any idea why this would be the case anyone? (luckily my wife won't be reading this - I hope!)...See MoreShoe storage
Comments (3)Somehow they don't get very dusty. As I put shoes on, if they look as if they need it I do a quick wipe with a cloth. But I can't say it's a big problem. My less attractive shoes I keep in clear shoe boxes on the floor. You can see on the photo. The only problem is that now my husband knows how many pairs I have!! Ha ha. He almost needed counselling after counting them....See MoreDoes anyone know where I can find a pull out shoe storage like the one
Comments (11)The specific one in that photo looks like a custom built-in solution. You can see the brackets top and bottom so you're unlikely to find it for sale on its own. I found this one thats on castor wheels which would work well if your wardrobe isn't raised or you could probably ask a local carpenter to create a dedicated pull-out shoe rack? https://ideasforstorage.co.uk/shoes/amazonbasics-shoe-rack-50-pairs-shoes https://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasics-Shoe-Pairs-Shoes-Chrome/dp/B00H7P1FHI?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00H7P1FHI&linkCode=as2&redirect=true&ref_=as_li_tl&tag=interior-21...See MoreNeed storage for shoes walk in wardrobe

3 years ago@angelavdavis Sorry, I am still tryoing to get a picture, but basically everything is in there. Literally everything. The storage solution you have sent might work. Would need to measure space exactly and see how easy it is to move it since access to the back will be required. I found another solution with turning shoe rack on telescopic rail from Starax. But I need to wait and see if there is enough space.
