Here are some designs proving that just because you have a compact space does not mean that it won’t have style and functionality.

Narrow shoe storage gives you the opportunity to store your shoes and keep them out of sight, while also avoiding taking up a lot of space in your home. While some storage units for shoes take up a lot of width in your home, narrow shoe storage units are easy to place in a corner and keep the floor tidy around your home. There's not just one style of narrow shoe storage units, however, so it's important to consider the options available.
Narrow and tall shoe storage units
The first style to consider is the narrow and tall shoe storage. This makes the most of the height of your room without compromising on width and length. On average, a unit like this will have 6-8 shelves on which to store your shoes. You can fit one pair on each shelf, or two pairs if the shelves are slightly wider or deeper than average. Most commonly made using wood, it's important to measure your hallway or other room to check there is nothing in the way of the height.
Inside door shoe storage
This is a great design for keeping your shoes out of the way and avoiding taking up any extra space around your home. You can attach this fixture to the back of your door or the back of your closet door, and neatly slot your shoes into the diagonally-placed compartments. This means that your shoes will be store almost at a vertical angle, saving maximum space and helping you to stay organized and tidy. Often made from metal or chrome and neatly attached to the back of a door, it is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to store your shoes.
Long narrow shoe storage
This takes the form of a rather large yet narrow unit. It sits against a wall in your home, and while it might be long and fairly high, it is not wide and therefore will only take up around 6 inches of width from the room. The top of the unit provides a good place for photographs, ornaments, keys and letters, while the cupboard can be partly opened to reveal plenty of space for your shoes. This is a good option for houses which have four or more people living there. There are normally between six and eight cupboards or drawers in which you can store shoes. Wood is the main material, and the units are commonly seen in white, cream or black. The handles may be brass doorknobs or copper handles.
Metal shoe storage rack
While some shoe storage racks can be a bit too large to be accommodated practically within your home, a narrow metal shoe storage rack can provide the perfect solution to your problems. With the smallest having around four shelves and the largest with ten or more shelves, there is a size to suit everybody regardless of how many pairs of shoes you may own. The chrome is sturdy and is either on wheels or supported by metal legs and rubber grips.
