A beautiful and well-made hat is not just a style investment, but also your best friend during the sunny afternoon excursions, especially with summer right around the corner. However, storing and organizing hats is more complicated than buying them since they come in all variety of shapes and sizes and if stored incorrectly, it can damage your hats beyond repair.

For some, sunglasses are a seasonal style accessory but for many, they are all-year-round functional objects. Unfortunately, not all of them make it back into their cases and often pile up on top of your dresser or in a drawer.

All you need are some white frames and strings and add them across the width of the frame to hang your sunglasses. What more, you can really create some beautiful displays.

Similarly, old medicine cabinets can also be converted into storage units for sunglasses. Stack your shades on the shelves or hang them across the back of the cabinet using small hooks, the options are numerous. Another functional idea is to get an over-the-door shoe organizer and use its pockets to tuck in all your sunglasses among other things.

Ladder Up Your Shoes

Everyone needs a little extra shoe storage as it is essential to keep your shoes organized. This not only helps in keeping your apartment/house clean and tidy but also protects your shoes from damage. This is especially true for the lovely ladies, whose collection of shoes can often get out of control. But shoe storage goes beyond decluttering your space. You need ideas that are functional as well as add a wow factor to your home decor.

Creating a ladder shoe shelf is one such idea. Get a ladder and a couple of wooden boards to create a beautifully tiered rack to display all your shoes. This functional wooden shoe rack will not only speak volumes about your creativity but will also leave your guests envious.

However, if you have space problems, using clear containers to store your shoes is also a great option. Opt for containers that fit perfectly below your hanging clothes in your closet.
