Materials: Six Spontan magazine racks
Description: We were after a shoe rack behind the laundry door but couldn't find exactly what we wanted. Upon seeing the Ikea magazine rack I realised this would be perfect (space efficient, flexible, economical) for our shoe rack.
I drilled 6 Spontan magazine racks to the wall space, overlapping them to fit (this is fine, they are flexible) and voila! The Great Wall of Shoe was born!

A complementary hack for this would be to put two VURM wine racks above, spaced about a foot apart and used as umbrella racks/coat hooks similar to Zieak's Towel Rack.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea! Just a shame we don't have a need for that many umbrellas living here in west oz :o)

LOL. I suppose not. Living in Oregon will get you thinking about rain. But then again, we're so used to the kind of rain we get (mostly light drizzle; I call it coastal mist - 'missed the coast and hit us'), you hardly see an umbrella. How about hats?
DeleteWhat about edges? Seems like they can scratch boots...
ReplyDeletehi- we haven't had a problem with it scratching the shoes - the edges are rounded, not sharp at all.

Even if some people say, it isn´t really a hack, it´s a great idea! I would´ve never come to this! ^^
ReplyDeleteVery clever... also loving the fact that I own the same pair of shoes as you do (middle pair on top). They are absolutely gorgeous :)
