This clever children's bag and shoe rack fits nicely behind a front door and is easy for kids to access.
The project
I updated our front entrance. My previous portable bag organiser was amazing but it was time for something new.
Using the amazing Flexi Storage shelving range I was able to create an organised area for the kids' bags and a shoe rack that’s also pleasing to look at.
I modified the floating photo shelf, attaching the base to the wall with Command picture hanging strips and screwed a few hooks in for the bags.
Then using the upright tracks and Oak shelves I was able to install a nice, neat shoe rack. The whole thing fits nicely behind the front door and is easy to access for the kids. It's also easy to remove should we ever need to.
