If you’ve followed my blog, you know I love talking about shoe storage. Shoes can be tricky to organize, especially in kids' rooms, where they often get scattered among toys and other clutter. While we’ve explored how a Modular Closet system can create beautiful shoe walls, today, let’s focus on tips for organizing kids' shoes!

How Do You Keep Your Child’s Closet Organized?

How often do you walk into your child’s room only to find shoes everywhere? Keeping a specific spot for each type of item, especially shoes, is key. Not only does it help with organization, but it also encourages your kids to put things back in their proper place, teaching them good habits early on.

Even a small, easily accessible shoe area—like a few shelves or a basket in their closet—can help them understand where their shoes belong. It doesn’t need to be a full shoe wall, just a defined and reachable spot.

I Suggest Some Shelves

Finding a storage solution that works best for you is key, but I’ve found that a few shelves at the base of the closet are ideal for kids. Modular Closet’s Solid Shelves are perfect for this. Recently, I had the chance to work with Ava and Alexis McClure, and their shoe shelves were installed at the base of their closet system. This placement allows the girls easy access to their shoes without needing to reach too high or search too hard.

Take the Time to Teach Them Organization

Getting kids involved in organizing might seem challenging, but it’s worth it. Taking the time to show them the importance of keeping things tidy can help instill lifelong habits. I’m not saying they’ll transform into organization pros overnight, but even small steps can make a difference and help them grow up clutter-mindful.
