Where to keep the shoe rack at home?
Surely you've asked yourself this question at least once.
No one doubts the true usefulness of a shoe rack: an essential accessory for organizing shoes in an orderly and accessible way at home. Yet, many relegate them to the closet or other hidden spaces.
It's true, shoe racks aren't always nice to look at (that's why we launched Maru ).
Like all other furnishings, a shoe rack can also add value to the look of your home spaces , telling, through colour and design, something about you and improving your daily life ( this always happens when you surround yourself with beautiful as well as practical objects ).
So, why not give your shoe rack the attention it deserves? Get it out of that dark closet.
In this article, we explore 5 places where you can place your shoe rack in plain sight .
Do you really have to hide it? Not if it's a designer shoe rack.
Good design combines functionality and aesthetics. A truly stylish shoe rack, therefore, doesn't deserve to be hidden away or hidden in your home.
It's a pleasure to look at, to touch, and to use. It features refined finishes and a wide range of colors, so it can fit into any space.
The advantages of a modular designer shoe rack
A good solution that is suitable for any domestic space is a modular shoe rack .
The modules allow you to choose:
- how much space do you need to store your shoes;
- which configuration to create based on the shape of your space.
For example, if you have little space, you can stack the modules by taking advantage of their heights .
If you have a longer wall, you can align the modules horizontally .
A modular shoe rack can be broken down and used individually in different rooms . If each person in the house wants to keep their shoes in their bedroom, for example, you can choose as many modules as there are residents, maintaining a coherent and harmonious overall design .
Where to put your shoes in the entryway or hallway and how to complete the look?
On a practical level, having a shoe rack in the entryway is a real advantage. This is the area where you most frequently put your shoes on and off.
If you have limited space in the entrance hall, you can opt for a small shoe rack, in which to store only the shoes you use most, in the current season.
You can place the shoe rack at the entrance or next to the door, or between two doors in the corridor or on the back wall of the corridor .
Don't forget that the entrance is the calling card of your home, so attention to detail here must be maximum.
- Use the top shelf of the shoe rack to store small items such as a flower vase or an incense holder .
- Add a mirror above the shoe rack, so it looks like a real entryway piece.
- Add a small ottoman or bench near the shoe rack to provide a place to put your shoes on.

Where to put the shoe rack in the bedroom?
The bedroom is also a perfect place to keep a shoe rack. It's where you get dressed in the morning, so you could keep your shoes in this room as well as your clothes.
A tall, narrow shoe rack allows you to take advantage of vertical space without taking up too much floor space.
Place it in the space between the closet and the wall or on the wall next to the wardrobe , for easy and convenient access.
If you have a more spacious bedroom, you can consider the unconventional idea of placing a shoe rack at the foot of the bed , which can also serve as a support surface.
You can also decide to hang a shoe rack on the wall , so that the top shelf is about 75 cm from the floor and place a mirror above it.
If you then add a stool you will have obtained a small space for skin care and make up in the bedroom .
Where do you put shoes in the walk-in closet?
If you're lucky enough to have a walk-in closet, don't forget to set aside space for your designer shoe rack.
Place it on a free vertical portion of wall or create a modular series horizontally , in the lower part of the shelving .
The shoe rack in the walk-in closet can be an excellent opportunity to bring a touch of color to this room .
Have you ever thought about the laundry area for the shoe rack?
Do you have a space in your home dedicated to a washer, dryer, and ironing room? This might be the perfect place to install a shoe rack.
Be careful, however, not to fall into the trap of neglecting the appearance of this purely service area. It's precisely in these spaces, where you work (perhaps even on weekends and holidays), that you should surround yourself with the colors and materials that make you feel most at ease.
So, in the laundry room, a colorful shoe rack with an attractive design is a must.
Where to keep your shoe rack at home? Let's recap.
The shoe rack doesn't have to be relegated to the closet : a designer shoe rack can enhance the look of your home.
You can place it in the entryway for convenience, in the bedroom to keep shoes close at hand, in the walk-in closet for impeccable organization, in the bathroom with closed units to avoid humidity, or in the laundry area for a pop of color.
By taking advantage of these solutions, the shoe rack enhances your spaces and improves your daily life .
