Without the right closet organization ideas, shoes tend to clutter up a home and can become an eyesore—not to mention that it can be hard to find the right shoes when you've got a mess on your hands! Enter: a DIY shoe rack. This handy home accessory can keep your footwear organized and may even add a touch of style to your decor—without breaking the bank. Building a shoe rack is an excellent DIY project, since most of them have pretty straightforward instructions. Plus, you may be able to customize elements, like cubby height and rack width to fit your shoe and boot collection, as well as the space in your home.
Looking for some fantastic DIY shoe rack ideas? We've got benches, closet racks, rolling bins, wall shelves and more. You can make a shoe rack from anything from wood to PVC pipe—there's even a cool idea to make shoe shelves out of skateboards! No matter what type of shoe rack you'd like to DIY, we've got a great tutorial for you. And for those who aren't so crafty, we've also included some shoe racks we love that don't take any elbow grease (they might take a simple assembly though).
