Over the door shoe rack

As indoor spaces get smaller due to the rising cost of housing, we need to get creative at not only packing things tightly but storing them in such a way that they are easy to access. One example is storing shoes. Without proper storage, they can make a mess out of your home's entrance. Shoes are unwieldy to store, but it's not practical to stow them inside a room as occupants frequently come and leave the house for work, recreation, or exercise. One smart solution is the over-the-door shoe rack.

What is an over-the-door shoe rack?

An over-the-door shoe rack is a piece of furniture that has pockets or small shelves for shoes. At the very top is a thin piece of material that's usually made out of metal like steel or aluminum, which then hooks over the top part of the door.

Types of over-the-door shoe racks

These racks come in different sizes and materials. The most common and cheapest types are the plastic over-the-door shoe rack and fabric over-the-door shoe rack. Clear over-the-door shoe racks are almost always made of plastic, while fabric types come in different colors and prints. Next is metal over-the-door shoe racks. Their rigid frames prevent the footwear from being squished against the wall, but they may need some padding to avoid damaging the plaster. Metal racks are available in a myriad of colors, although the most common ones are the white over-the-door shoe rack and the black ones. Wooden over-the-door shoe racks, like metal ones, are a more premium choice. They give indoor spaces an 'organic' feel when the door is closed and the rack is visible from the inside of the home. While the racks are used for tight spaces, like the over-the-door shoe rack for narrow doors and small over-the-door shoe rack for RV, They are also used for bigger spaces, such as the wide over-the-door shoe rack and over-the-door shoe rack for large shoes.
