How to Use a Shoe Organizer

Shoe organizers store shoes and other accessories without taking up extra space.  They are typically hung on doors or inside closets.  There are several steps you can take to make your shoe organizers into convenient and accessible storage spaces where you can keep shoes, accessories and even small electronic gadgets.

1. Gather items that need to be organized.  In addition to shoes, look for other things you own that need a storage space.  You can use shoe organizers to store any items that are relatively small such as cosmetics, hair accessories, belts, underwear and socks.  Think about the things that most often litter your floor or get in your way.  If they can fit into your shoe organizer, they can be stored in it.


2. Decide how many shoe organizers you need to store all the things you set aside.  Many people get a few shoe organizers to use in different rooms.  If you have a lot of things that need storage, then you might want to buy a couple or more organizers.


3. Hang up your shoe organizers.  They can be placed anywhere in your home.  You can put one in the closet, bedroom or in the bathroom.  Think about the items you plan to store in each one to help you decide.  For example, a shoe organizer used primarily for makeup should be hung up on the back of your bathroom door.  A shoe organizer used for electronics, on the other hand, should be hung up on the door in your bedroom or living room.  Shoe organizers used for shoes and clothing should be hung up in your closet.


4. Place your things into your shoe organizers.  Group all of them together, so you can easily find them whenever you need to use them.  Keep your items in the same pockets and sections, so you’ll always remember where they are.
