List of helpful Shoe Rack Ideas
Below you’ll find several shoe rack ideas that can help you organize shoes in your entryway, mud room, garage, living room, or wherever else you need to store you shoes.
Shoe Rack Organizer with Wood Seat Top
This shoe rack is cool because the wooden top doubles as a bench. It says it can support 198 pounds. (Seems like a very specific number doesn’t it?)
It has an industrial-looking metal frame but topped with the nicely stained wooden top.
Will this work for you?
Shoe Rack with resin slats
They claim you can store up to 9 pairs of shoes per unit (so 3 per shelf), and you can actually stack the units. So you can buy a couple of them, stack them up, and you’ll be able to stack all the family’s shoes in one place.
The rack is just under 13 inches deep, so that gives you an idea how far out from the wall it will stick out.
Shoe Cubby Organizer with Bench Top
This shoe organizer has 18 cubby holes to stash away your shoes. And you can sit on the top of it to help slip your shoes on and off.
And it comes with the wall-mounted, 3-cubby organizer and coat rack too.

Metal Shoe Rack with Adjustable Shelves
The cool thing about this shoe rack is that the shelves can either lay flat, or be slanted.
In the picture above it shoes them in the slanted position. But if you look closely you can see the holes in the frame along the back if you wanted your shoes to sit flat.
Modular Cubes Shoe Rack
A cube system like this provides a variety of storage configurations. If you need a narrow but tall tower to store you shoes you can do it. If you need a low, but wide shoe rack, you can do it.
It gives you options, and people love options.

Over the Door Hanging Shoe Organizer
These over-the-door hanging shoe organizers allow you to take advantage of “dead space”: the space behind the door.
I personally wouldn’t want to use this on the back of an exterior door of my house. I think the hangers would impair the weatherstripping on my door and allow wintery winds to whip in.
But if I lived in an apartment I would consider this. Or…if I did use it in my house I’d screw hooks into a wooden door instead of using the provided hangers. Or I’d get some quality Command Hooks to adhere to a metal door and hang the shoe rack from that.
Have you used one of these?? If so, what did you think?
Narrow Shoe Rack Tower
Do you only have a small narrow space for a shoe organizer?
If so, then a narrow tower like this may suit your needs. I like the look of this one. Looks good, and functional too.

Bamboo Shoe Rack
Here is a 3-tier stackable bamboo shoe that helps to store your shoes at a reasonable price.
Entryway Organizer (shoe rack & coat rack in one stand)
This metal rack provides the convenience of having a shoe rack and coat rack in one unit. Plus, the bench top provides a place to sit down and put on your shoes.

Industrial / Rustic Style Shoe Rack (Etsy)
I love the Industrial look of this shoe rack that I came across on Etsy. It looks like it should hold up to work boots, snow boots or anything else a hard-working family can throw at it.
The seller, ColdSteelCreations, is fairly new to Etsy (as of July 2019 anyway), but the products look amazing.
Stack Wooden Crates to make your own Shoe Rack
You can buy wooden crates at most hardware stores (and I’ve even seen them at Walmart). You can take the crates and stack them to create your own shoe rack and entryway organizer.
Rustic Wooden Shoe Rack (Etsy)
Yes, this is another standard shoe rack, but I think it’s far from ordinary. I love doing woodwork projects like this, but my problem is I don’t finish them! I came across this one on Etsy.
It is available in a variety of stains. The stain bove is dark walnut.

Wall-mounted Shoe Rail
I had never seen something like this before. It looks so clever.
I’m by no means a style expert, but I think a simple design like this would go well in a variety of decorating styles. This shoe rail is available on Etsy.
Homemade DIY Shoe Rack
I made this shoe rack many years ago. Over time it has doubled as a stepping stool, toy display and overall staple of my home. With our growing family, it doesn’t fit our needs anymore.
It was easy to make, and wasn’t too time consuming. Because if a woodwork project takes too long, I’ll often stall out and not work on it anymore.
The engraving shown in the picture below did take longer, but even it is a fairly quick process. I am not an artist as you can tell by my flowers, but it adds some personality to it.
Here is what it looks like without shoes on it.
I hope you’ve found these shoe rack ideas inspiring. And hopefully one of these options will fit your front entryway or living room.
