Hello everyone,
I am currently planning to organize my hallway to make it tidier and more functional, and I am considering using the Kallax shelving unit from IKEA as a shoe rack. Has anyone here had experience with this? My main questions are:
- How suitable is the Kallax for storing shoes in terms of stability and space?
- Does it keep the hallway looking neat, or does it tend to look messy quickly?
- For which types of shoes (sneakers, boots, sandals, etc.) would you recommend this shelving unit?
I am mainly looking for reliable feedback and tips on how to use the Kallax effectively in the hallway without it becoming chaotic or impractical. Thanks in advance!

One more question for Hrvoje: How wide and deep is your hallway, and what types of shoes do you mainly want to store? The hallway is about 2.5 m (8 feet) long and just under 1.2 m (4 feet) wide. We have many casual shoes and sneakers, some boots (for winter and rain), plus a few sandals and sports shoes. It’s important to me that the shoes are easy to grab and that the shelving doesn’t make the space feel too cramped, since the hallway is already a bit narrow.
I have recently started using a Kallax unit as a shoe rack. Tip: Be sure to secure it to the wall, otherwise it can become unstable.
I use small boxes in the compartments to keep everything tidy. For large boots, use a separate shelf or storage tray.
It fits well in a small hallway and helps keep things organized.

Hey, I’m using Kallax in my hallway as a shoe rack and I’m really happy with it! 🙂
Of course, boots don’t fit perfectly, so I sort those separately. For everything else, the compartments work really well.
Kallax is not only functional but also makes the hallway feel cozier, in my opinion 🙂
And honestly: there are worse pieces of furniture than one that’s so versatile!

Does the hallway stay tidy with this setup, or does it quickly look messy?
