Save space shoe storage DIY. Say that tongue twister three times fast! π
Whether you have a lot of space or a little space this shoe/multi purpose shelf will come in handy. This shelf is great to show off any collection whether it’d be tea pots or books or toys! Possibilities are endless.
I built the shelf over the closet and corner shelves for shoes as my daughter has a small collection π Β I like that it displays her shoes in a pretty way as well as not take up any precious floor space!

When the shoes were stored in their boxes, my daughter found she didn’t wear them as much. This way she can see them and it makes choosing a pair very easy and fun!

Very convenient to have things out for easy access, but not taking up any “floor” space. And you avoid “the stacking over a chair” look!
This is how I did it…

I picked up these brackets at Target on sale for under five bucks for two! You can find brackets at any home improvement store. They come in many ornate shapes in metal as well as wood. All I did was decide how wide I wanted the shelf. Β Β In this case I got a 1″ x 10″ which in reality is really 1″ x 9 1/4″. (That has always bothered me. A 1″ x 10″ should measure exactly that!) Β After you decide how wide you want it, the next thing is to decide how long. I wanted it to go from the corner to a little beyond the closet door. You can have the home improvement store cut it for you or you can cut it yourself. I already had the wood in my go-to-stack-of-lumber, so I just cut it myself using a compound miter saw.
I lightly sanded the board and stained it with stain I had left over from a project. You do not need to sand or stain the board. You can leave it as is. You can also paint it any color you want or you can just varnish it with a clear water based varnish.
Okay…moving on to the corner shelves.

Corner shelves can be bought at Target or home improvement stores. You can also make them. I normally would make them, however these were on sale and to make them would have cost me more. So in this instance it was a no brainer to not have to put the work into it.

Here you can see there are cleats that hold up the shelf. Find the studs in the wall. If you do not have studs use wall anchors. You can learn about them on my other tutorial here. Once the cleats are attached to the wall, you place the shelf on top. You can then screw it down from the top or hot glue the shelf on like I did. How you attached the shelf really depends on what you are putting on it.
Creating more space without really “taking” up space is a win-win! Shelves like these will help you be more organized and being more organized helps you find things! Make more room without “taking” up space!Β You too can do this!

Works for almost anything you want to store! Glad you stopped by. Hope to see you again! Have a lovely day!β
You are a master of organizer and model creative, Koko! I show this inspiration to my Hubs, who is the handy one in the family π
I handle a drill decently, though I have lots to learn! When you have as many four legged and two legged beings as I do running around, one must be organized. As always Tiny, your comments are much appreciated and enjoyed! Have a spectacular day!β
She’s very tidy putting them all back up again, I’m a bit messy! very smart way to get more space though I like it.
She has to be. She is on-the-go so much that if she isn’t somewhat tidy she can’t find things to get ready in a hurry! Thank you for being here Charlotte. I hope things are going well for you! Hugsβ
This is great!!!! I love your creativity.
Thank you. I appreciate your comments always.β I tell ya, since putting this in, her room has stayed looking so nice. I also put in a closet organizer. Finding stuff makes getting ready so much easier! Hahahaha.

This is such a creative way to store shoes. And thank you for liking my post too!
It was a fun project. Thank you for commenting. π
I can totally relate to the issue of not seeing my shoes = not wearing them, great idea!
Thank you! It really is helpful. And keeps things neater too. Your more inclined to putting things away if there’s a place for it! Thank you for commenting. I appreciate it. Have a super Friday! π
Gotta get creative sometimes!
Hahaha. I so appreciate you checking my stuff out. Have a great week ahead!!!
Just think how many more corner shelves you could fit if your daughter wore flat shoes!! π
I know right!? Bahahaha!!! I’m building something in my son’s room. I hope you stay tuned. Thanks for coming by! Have an awesome evening. π
We love our door hooks coat hanger from Bed Bath and Beyond. Space saver and practical.
And it makes life easier too when things have their own place! I’m all about organizing. Having less stuff helps my life out too. Take care! π
Yup π it especially helps saving space when living in a one bedroom apt. Plus $15 versus a $100 coat hanger….easy decision.
Indeed! π
So I kinda need this in my life!!
You’ll love it. You can store so many things! Display your goods! Thank you for hanging out atkokosplace! Enjoy your Sunday! π
Quite creative! I agree your own show!
I’d love to one day turn this into its own website! I do enjoy it. More so, I enjoy all the wonderful people I meet. I’ve learned a lot as well as have really enjoyed chatting with so many. It’s been great fun. I really appreciate all the time you’ve spent on my blog. It warms my heart. Cheers, Koko
