No More Shoe Piles In The Hall
When you have finally had enough of looking at the shoes piling up in your hallway or closet, it is time to find a solution. One great way to take care of that unsightly pile of footwear is to purchase a shoe storage bench for your entryway.
These benches offer ample space to organize boots, sneakers and shoes and as an added bonus, you end up with a lot more storage area in your closets for other items.
Benches are available in a wide range of styles and prices, so it is worth your time and effort to explore the various options that are available and find one that suits your particular needs
You can buy a shoe storage bench for as little as $45 for a standard model that is rather plain looking. The basic bench will be approximately 24 inches wide and will seat one adult. Sitting on the bench to put your shoes on is much more convenient than leaning against the wall and hopping around on one foot. Most benches have two racks underneath the seat that will hold between six and nine pairs of shoes, depending on the size.
The shoe storage cubby is another option that works well in any entryway. This bench is between 36” and 42” long and has enough room for two adults to sit next to each other. Under the bench are cubbies or cubes that can accommodate twelve to sixteen pairs of shoes.
There are some very stylish choices if you do not mind spending $150 or more. These fashionable benches are fine furniture pieces with sliding doors on the storage area that will allow you to hide the shoes. The padded seat is roomy enough for two or more adults. Some models have small drawers that allow you keep other items handy like gloves, keys or sunglasses.
