Ceiling space is often undeservedly overlooked. But it is here that it is most convenient to store seasonal shoes and various household items that are rarely used..

Hooks can also be used to store bags. So that they do not get confused among outerwear, it is necessary to mount the hooks at the middle level. So, you don’t need to reach for the right bag upstairs and, if necessary, always quickly find it.

Open modular systems can be used to store shoes. They are easy to combine in color and shape, making up a comfortable piece of furniture themselves. The advantage of such furniture is that it does not make the space heavier and does not visually “eat up” square meters. True, with this method of storage, you need to ensure that the shoes are always in perfect order, because they are always in sight.
