It was only last week that I tripped and fell flat on my face while attempting to weave in and around the absolutely ridiculous number of shoes littering my bedroom floor.
Why any one person would need to have so many shoes really, really bothered me for approximately three minutes, until I realised that, all of them were absolutely essential and much cherished items. If you haven't sorted through your shoes yet, do so ASAP, I highly recommend the Marie Kondo method.
Once you've sorted through and decided that yes you do indeed need eleven pairs of black court shoes, it's time to find a place to store them all that makes sense and won't result in you spending precious getting ready time searching for your favourite flats.
We've done the research for you and have come up with these super easy ways to organise your shoes so your room looks as good as what’s on your Pinterest boards.
Read on my soon to be very organised friends...
