Each mistress strives for cleanliness and order throughout the house, including in the hallway. After coming home, we take off our shoes and leave our shoes at the doorstep. And if you have several people in the family, then in the hallway a whole collection of shoes accumulates, which interferes with your feet and creates a sense of disorder. In order to make your corridor clean and tidy, put a stylish and at the same time roomy cabinet for the shoes in the hallway.
The curbstone can be of a variety of types and configurations, but in general it is a compact floor cabinet in which you can add seasonal shoes. On the upper shelves or in the drawers of this pedestal you can store the means for the care of shoes: creams, brushes and other accessories.
When buying a curbstone for shoes, you should be guided by the dimensions of your hallway, as well as the number of shoes that this locker should contain. In a spacious hallway, a tall pedestal, in which the shelves are located throughout its height, will perfectly fit. In this store can be placed about fifteen pairs of shoes. In a narrow, narrow corridor, you can put a small narrow bedside table, containing only a few pairs of shoes. The doors at her can be swinging or folding on the brackets. Often a set of such a pedestal includes one or two drawers on wheels for storing various footwear accessories.
Today, the pedestals for shoes are made of metal or plastic, decorating them with lacquer, veneer, mirrors and various prints. Wooden curbstones are treated with special compounds that protect the wood from drying out and deformation.
Types of pedestals for shoes
All curbstones for storing shoes can be conditionally divided into three types:
- An open pedestal for shoes, which has horizontal or inclined shelves for shoes;
- a closed pedestal in which the footwear is stored behind closed doors on a shelf or in a general compartment;
- a curbstone with folding sections, in each of which there can be more than three pairs of shoes. The curbstone is narrow, so it is suitable for small hallways.

A pedestal for shoes with a seat will allow the process of making shoes more comfortable: you do not have to carry a chair to the door to put on boots or boots. Pregnant women, young children or the elderly are more comfortable to sit and not be afraid of losing their balance.
A pedestal for shoes with a mirror will remove the shoes from under the feet, and the mirror visually widens the small space of the hallway. However, one should not make a cosmetic table from the pedestal for shoes: various combs, hair clips and cosmetics can create the impression of disorder. Very often, the pedestals for shoes have drawers for storing various necessary trifles. Alternatively, you can put on the cube a beautiful vase for storing keys and everything else.
Combined pedestals for shoes with a hanger allow you to keep in order not only shoes, but also outerwear, located in the hallway. Such pedestals most often have two compartments for shoes, hooks for clothes, shelves for hats, gloves and other various trifles.
