Alright, be honest – how many piles of shoes currently litter your floor or spill out of your crammed closet? No judgment here! When your collection outgrows the space you have, organizing seems hopeless. But what if I told you stackable shoe boxes can totally transform even the most messy situation? How to maximize space with stackable shoe boxes by Inabox?
I know it sounds too good to be true. But after years of battling a messy shoe closet myself, discovering quality stackable containers was a total game changer. These space-saving lifesavers make it crazy easy to wrangle wandering kicks while keeping pairs neat, visible and where they belong. Intrigued yet? Read on!
Select the Right Stackable Shoe Boxes
Key to maximizing real estate with stackables is choosing durable, high-quality boxes that actually….well, stack properly! Cheapy cardboard containers from the dollar store simply won’t cut it long term.
Look for solid plastic bins with attached lids so nothing gets lost. Transparent boxes let you peek inside to ID shoes at a glance without pulling everything out.
And ensure your pick has a design specifically made for vertical stacking. The grooved lid and bases should interlock securely while stacked double or triple-high to prevent toppling over. No one needs a messy shoe avalanche!
Arrange Strategically By Usage
Simply piling shoes anyhow into columns of stacks misses the point. Use stackable bins to create an organizational system based on how often you actually wear different pairs.
Reserve prime real estate on closet floor levels for your highest daily rotation sneakers, flats or sandals. Stack second-tier casual shoes you reach for a few times a month up a level. Keep higher heels or seasonal shoes stacked the highest since you access them less often.
This intuitive system ensures your most worn pairs stay easily accessible. No more wasting time digging for your trusted black work flats or cute Saturday brunch wedges!
Double Up with Risers
Speaking of wasted vertical space…the area between stacked boxes is prime for additional shoe storage. Risers, shelf dividers and double decker inserts allow you to slide in bonus boxes.
I like clear stackable risers with built-in shelves. Not only can you stash 2-3 extra pairs in that tight gap, everything still stays visible thanks to the transparency.
You can instantly double, even triple your shoe capacity this way. I swear, the Dropbox Marie Kondo makeover episode I saw was life changing! Who knew unused interstitial space was the key?
Go Beyond the Closet!
Walk-in closet already bursting at the seams? Stackables save the day extending your storage footprint to unused nooks around the house.
I turned wasted space under the guest bed into a custom stackable shoe container thanks to the boxes’ condensed design. The lower lip and secure lids keep them neatly tucked away with no dust or debris. No more random shoes confusing my house guests!
Get creative scoping out under-utilized vertical nooks – stair landings, built-in bookcase sides or utility room corners. You may be shocked how many secret storage spots open up for your wandering shoes with savvy stacking tricks.
Alright – time to show your messy shoe situation who’s boss! Grab durable stackable containers and transform wasted corners into space maximizing shoe organization station. Get ready to reclaim order in even the most chaotic collection. Race you to the shoe store!
