Hi,
we are currently planning our terrace. Due to some unfortunate events, we haven’t managed to finish it yet, even though we have been living in the house for three years. Over time, I noticed that in summer we almost always leave our shoes next to the patio doors. Since these doors are in the kitchen and living room, I hadn’t originally planned any space for that. But as life goes, I’m afraid that won’t change anymore.
How have you handled this? Do you regularly take the shoes out of the hallway and put them away properly? Or do you have a cupboard in the living room where the shoes are stored? Maybe an outdoor cabinet directly on the terrace?

Dear original poster, I don’t understand your problem.
I also have shoes lying on the terrace. But what is so bad about that?
Is it really so bad that I should worry about it...I don’t have shoes lying around on the terrace, but in the living room. They bother me there because they don’t match my furniture. The real question is: should I build something on the terrace to store such stuff, or would that damage the terrace?
The terrace visually looks damaged, yes. Buy some in a different color that suits your style and matches your interior, or at least so that they don’t stand out in a negative way. Things I like and find attractive, even shoes, never bother me anywhere in the living room.
It’s better to think about where you will store the seat cushions overnight. I find them more of a nuisance when they are temporarily stored in the living room.

You’re already wearing those really ugly rubber shoes from the manufacturer Crocs and don’t even leave them outside? Why not?
They cost 20€ and, thanks to the material, have no problem with water, as long as any rain even reaches the spot by the patio door.
So just leave them outside. Shoes for the patio should be ready to use for a quick step outside. They shouldn’t be stored anywhere else. Maybe in winter.

we are currently planning our terrace. Due to some unfortunate events, we haven’t been able to finish it yet, even though we’ve been living in the house for three years now. Over the years, I’ve noticed that we practically always leave our shoes next to the patio doors during summer. Since these doors are located in the kitchen and living room, I hadn’t originally planned any space for shoe storage there. But that’s how life goes – I fear this won’t change anymore.
How have you solved this? Do you constantly take shoes out of the hallway and put them away properly afterward? Or do you have a cabinet in the living room where the shoes are kept? Maybe an outdoor cabinet right on the terrace?The Norwegian uses the back door for this. He goes through it to access the garden. There, he always puts on and takes off all his shoes. There is also a shoe rack from a well-known Danish furniture store. The patio door is usually just left slightly open and serves more like a large window than a door.
But the average Southern Central East German doesn’t really see the point of the back door. So his shoes are left everywhere. That’s just how it is.
