Christina's Corner Organizing Your Shoe Wall!

Learn the best tips for organizing a stylish and functional shoe wall using adjustable shelves and decor ideas to maximize your space.

Video Transcript

Hello everyone and welcome to another week of organization tips and tricks. Today, we’re back in Ami McClure’s closet discussing how to make your shoe wall work perfectly for you.

We All Want a Shoe Wall

Here at Modular Closets, we love the magic of shoe walls. I’ve spoken a lot about this topic, but today let’s walk through how to organize your shoe wall to fit your style and needs.

Adjustable Shelves Will Save Your Shoe Storage!

One of my favorite features of our shoe walls—and all of our shelves—is that they’re adjustable. Modular Closets builds systems with different lifestyles in mind, so they designed the shelving units with height-adjustable shelves. This allows you to store whatever you need. Ami realized that by adjusting the height, she could add another shelf to her unit, making room for more shoes!

Functionality and Aesthetics Don’t Have to Be Mutually Exclusive!

How you organize your shoes is entirely up to you. You might prefer arranging by shoe type, color, style, or even brand. Organizing by what you wear most often makes it easy to grab what you need while creating a beautiful display. Remember, organization should be as functional as it is aesthetic. This applies to all areas of your closet!

Have an Extra Shelf?

If you don’t have as many shoes as Ami but love the idea of a shoe wall, you can decorate one or two shelves with favorite items that show your personality. Ideas for shelf decor include:

  • Handbags
  • Framed Pictures or Artwork
  • Unlit Candles
  • Your Prettiest Pair of Shoes
  • A Hat
  • Collectibles

The possibilities are endless—just choose items that best represent you!

My Favorite Shoe Tip!

Shoes arranged on a shelf

One of my favorite shoe organizing tips is to alternate the directions that your shoes are facing on each shelf. This simple trick allows you to fit more pairs on a single shelf. Try it, and you’ll see how much more space it creates!

If you’d like to install a Modular Closet system with a shoe wall, check out the module you need here. You can choose either solid or slanted adjustable shelves to create the shoe wall of your dreams.
