I don't have NEARLY as many shoes as you do, but I have been straight. up. AGONIZING. about how to store them (our closet is small) in an aesthetically pleasing way that wouldn't hinder access to the clothes in the closet. This will actually empty about 1/4 of our closet space AND give me a kind of "art piece" of shoes to display on a bit of wall that's been empty since we moved in! Thanks so much! Lifesaver!
I made the same shoe racks with LACK half a year ago. It horribly collected dust! I would spend 15 minutes cleaning the whole thing. Too much fuss for me.
My husband’s shoe size is 10.5”, so I don’t think the shelves are wide enough. Do you have any suggestions on what else we could use to make these shelves?
I am a size 10US 8UK. do you think my shoes will fit on these shelves or they would be too big. i like the idea of the shelves, just not sure if it will look as pretty as yours. thanks
I have the very small lack shelves in a corner with my most ornate shoes and perfume collection. IKEA is so affordable and looks really good. I agree that the wideness makes them look so much more expensive
So love your creativity! Thank you for sharing! I am so glad I found this, as I was ready to purchase a $300 unit and thought I'd try youtube DYI and found you. . I am ordering the 6 of the half size right now.
Love your shoe wall! I don't have enough shoes for a wall. Wish I did though. I did get the rack for my sunglasses though and I love it. Have you put yours up yet?
Wow, Erika you outdid yourself... it turned out so elegant. May I ask you how tall is your ceiling? My ceiling is 10 feet. I've been looking for shoe storage ideas and almost bought the IKEA bookcases, but I like this better. Thanks for sharing!!! 😍
Hi Erika! I've recently moved to Toronto and I am in the process of doing up my apartment here too! I was actually looking at the Lack shelves myself in Ikea. I wanted to put one over my couch in the living room area! But wasn't sure about hanging them as the walls here are quite thin!! How do they go up? What are the fixtures? My walls here are dry wall!
The shelving looks really nice. How are you going to store your longer boots. Tee Hee I like to keep my shoes in boxes but this got me thinking. The only hold up is that I store off season shoes in a huge box and keeping them in their original box protect the shoes. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you in the coming days.
Hey, forgot the MOST IMPORTANT THING, what's holding up those shelves? Obviously they look nice but installing steps is extremely important otherwise clueless.
ishe vee They come with the wall bracket but NO SCREWS. I put mine up with 10 screws + wall anchors in each one (because no stud where I needed it). Got the screws from Home Depot
Wow wow wow looks AMAZING! When you said you were doing it I thought I don't think I'd like them out, but this is like art, can't wait to see the bags on top!
Many I ask How may pairs of shoes you have and how man pairs fit on each shelf. I am trying to figure out how many shelves I need. I have a lot of shoes.
Erica, have you considered doing what you did with the IKEA Malmo chest? You trimmed it with gold tape. I think it would really make it look like a showpiece.
This looks great. I was hoping to see the shelves put up to see if it’s something I could do or not. You could put another shelf on the bottom and put your flats there and it wouldn’t even necessarily have to be a foot down from the bottom shelf. Can’t wait to see your bags.
first thanks for the video and tips! really appreciate it as i want to do it too second: i think like u said: top maybe 2 shelves put purses, middle one out flowers and cute stuff like pictures and candles, and bottom ones ur shoes u also have a lot of shoes so maybe display the ones for the season? I just find seeing shoes up there esp dark boots not esthetically pleasing otherwise great tips thanks! planning to go to ikea tomorrow so will let u know.
This is the exact Idea I had in my old place with the IKEA shelves, It just allows your room to be neat and also have a shoe store vibe. This time round I have a cupboard with shelves already built in for my shoes 😃
Love love love this video! Maybe, don't t put a shelf on the bottom and just put a rail to hang your boots on. Then add a shelf at the top for your bags...
Looks sooo good! I want to do something like this for my shoes but I’m scared that they’ll charge me for the holes in the walls once I leave the apartment😅
@@Erika_Fox its not really self explanatory because it's alot of us trying to figure it out we don't see how it's being held up...however I do love how it looks ur bf did a wonderful job but I would also like to know how to hang them on the wall.
Great idea Erica! Questions though, do having that much shoes in your bedroom feel dirty or are there any steps you do after usage before putting them in your bedroom. second, do they get super dusty on the shelves and how long before you have to dust them regularly? Always love your vid
No it's actually perfect! I just make sure to dust everything once/twice a week and always clean shoes before I put them back on. These particular shelves are so so tidy so note overwhelming at all. x
