How to choose a shoe

To organize the storage of shoes, there is a simple solution — a shoe rack. The stores offer open and closed designs. To choose the best, it is worth considering all the options.

Open models are constructed from two sidewalls, between which horizontal shelves for boots and shoes are attached. Such products do not have doors, providing easy access to things and good ventilation. Manufacturers produce:

• racks with 2-5 compartments;
• low curbstones sitting;
• designs, complemented by drawers.

Closed models include cabinets, chests of drawers, cabinets with doors. Furniture protects shoes from dust, dirt and scratches that pets can leave on them. But it has a drawback — poor air circulation. To prevent stagnation, the appearance of an unpleasant odor and the development of harmful bacteria, small holes are made in the walls of the cabinets for ventilation.

Color and design depend on the degree of illumination and the overall design of the hallway. In dark rooms, light designs look good and vice versa. If you need to visually expand the space, pay attention to furniture with a mirror surface.
