Project: IKEA Shoe Storage solution
February 23rd, 2006
A practical mod from P.K. Shiu:
“Shoe storage is very important to keeping the house tidy. Us Asian especially
like to take our shoes off at the door. Any normal shoe storage solution is
likely to be too small. What to do?
We bought two IKEA MAGIKER short shelves with doors for our entry hall.
Out of all the series at IKEA, I always like the MAGIKER series. It’s clean
look, especially in the lighter colors, matches a modern interior nicely without
being too cold. Since we have very light bamboo floors, the color further
matches.

The original idea was to use those cabinets as secondary storage, while
giving us a display space for the entry hall. Once we put them up we realized
that they are perfect for shoes. The only trouble is that we could use double
the shelves. Today I found a new shoes rack that is not in their catalog call
FRAN. They fit perfectly in the cabinet, but you need to take one of the doors
off temporarily to put them inside.”

PK-
What a wonderful solution to your shiu problem
I have been stuggling with the same issue for many years. I have exposed shoe shelves but they are just UGLY:( I had never thought about putting shelves in a cabinet to then hold the shoes. Do you think this would also work for pots and pans in my cluttered kitchen cabinet?
Thx Much for the post
