I doubled the storage space in my closet with this $5 IKEA rack, and it can be stacked

Putting away clothes in a wardrobe.

There's nothing quite like a bursting open closet to ruin an otherwise stylish bedroom. And while some of us love to tell people that we have a walk-in closet with enough storage for a family of five's clothes, others (like me) do not have such a luxury. My wardrobe is small, but I do try to maximize the space in there. Not only do I use it for my clothes, but it's also where my shoes and my handbag collection live, so I need it to be savvy.

I spotted this $5 shoe rack at IKEA, and thought I'd give it a try to add some extra shelves into my closet. Not only is it super affordable, but the GREJIG shoe rack adds a pop of red to this small space, too. It's also easy to keep clean thanks to its metal design.

A very handy buy, and not just for your shoes. This stackable shelf can also be used for smaller bags and things like hats and gloves. This way, you needn't dread digging through your messy closet again.

An affordable solution

Not only is this shoe rack handy for holding 2-3 pairs of shoes, but since they are stackable, you could use them inside a any closet, and nest them in doubles or triples if you have enough room. This will really maximize the amount of usable storage space you can use for shoes, without needing to drill a single hole in your wall. The perfect storage solution for renters!

For $4, it's a low price to pay for something that's so versatile — don't just use them for shoes, but they also work great for storing handbags, neatly folded and stacked clothes such as sweaters and jeans, and even things like kids' toy storage bins.

The best part about the design of this shoe rack has to be that they are stackable. Its steel design also makes it strong, while its powder coating means it's easy to clean should you get yours dirty from shoes or anything else.
