Are you team shoe cabinet or team shoe rack? If you prefer storing your shoes and keeping any dirt and clutter behind closed doors, welcome to team shoe cabinet. Or would you rather have your shoes on open racks to keep them well-ventilated and within easy reach? Personally, I prefer to have closed shoe storage in the house and leave my shoes on an open shoe rack at the door.
The shoe cabinet that we have currently is located in our entryway, where there is a mirror above for a last check before heading out, and it also serves as a spot to drop our wallet and letters when we are back.
What to look out for in a shoe cabinet
In my next shoe cabinet, I hope that it will come with a storage drawer to better organise our socks, or it could also serve to hide the mail clutter too. The design of the shoe cabinet matters since it is right next to our main door, so it would be best if it is not in a plain white design, like the one we have now.
Buying shoe cabinets off the shelf allow you to replace them easily when it is worn out, or if you wish to refresh your space with a new design for your shoe cabinet. Aside from sneakerheads, your average person will need up to 4 pairs of shoes on any regular day - open-toe slippers or sandals, formal work shoes for office settings, weekend casual slip-ons, and maybe a cute pair of heels or boots for a fancy date night.
