There’s an old adage that goes ‘Shoes maketh the man’. Why do they make your home uncouth then? Shoe organization is an art, irrespective of whether you live in a mansion or a micro apartment.

Cherry wood shoe racks club the natural richness of fine cherry wood with beautiful, practical furniture pieces that can be proudly displayed in your living room.

Here are some tips for first-time shoppers.

Where to place a cherry wood shoe rack?

Conventional wisdom says that shoe racks are best positioned near the door. Makes it easy for people to tuck in their shoes and take them when they leave. But modern day shoe racks are so beautifully designed that they can be positioned just about anywhere. Some people club their shoe racks with wardrobes. Others use corner curio cabinets to display their footwear. Under stair and under desk shoe racks are also quite popular because they utilize unused spaces. Identifying the location will help you narrow down on the best one.

How big a shoe rack do you need?

The size and design of your new shoe rack will be determined by your shoe collection and the type of shoes you plan to store in the rack. If it's dominated mainly by flats, then even a compact shoe rack will do just fine. But if you have a collection of exotic leather cowboy boots, then you might need something with adjustable shelves that can accommodate them.

And if you have more shoes in your collection than Ilmeda Marcos then you might want to winnow it down a little. Only store the most deserving ones in the new rack. It will make it easy to organize and get access to your shoes in a jiffy.

What cherry wood shoe rack designs are there?

Cherry wood shoe racks can be as simple as an open closet with two or three tiers, or as capacious as a large wardrobe. They are available in a bevy of attractive styles and finishes too.

What shoe rack design will best work for your space?

All enclosed designs work best for extended households with a large number of shoes that can look cluttered if left open.

If you intend to place the rack near the doorway, then look for a rack that has an upholstered seat on top. It will allow you to sit comfortably while wearing and removing shoes and avoid the need for a separate seating.

Cherry shoe racks can also be integrated into an existing fixture in your home. Have a large TV console unit with a few drawers to spare? Convert the bottom half into a shoe rack that stays hidden from public view.

What's the best type of cherry wood for shoe racks?

Lastly, the cherry wood shoe rack that you select will only be as durable as the quality of the wood itself. Heartwood, the inner darker portion of the tree is the most preferred wood for making furniture. It is natural dark brown and gets a darker hue when exposed to light. It can be finished with linseed oil which retains its natural feel and gives it a fantastic patina.
