The TikTok-Approved Shoe Storage Stool Every Closet Needs For Organization

When you have tons of shoes piling up, locating the ones you want can be challenging. If digging through a mountain of footwear sounds like an all too familiar scenario, then implementing a TikTok-approved storage stool in your space, as demonstrated by @imjuliekay, could help to transform how you stow them away. Not only is it a great way to declutter, but it will also help you better organize and find them easier. You can also fit plenty in there, so it's ideal if you have an extensive collection, or wear them on a seasonal basis. 

In addition, the storage stool is versatile and can fit in many different areas around your home, such as inside a closet, or a hallway, making it one of the best ways to store your shoes. Alongside all these benefits, it also looks good and comes with a nifty little seat on top, so you can sit down to try on different pairs if needs be. You'll also be able to add your own personal touches, so you can make it unique to you. 

On the Home By AMES website, you should be able to pick up one of these Revolution Storage Ottomans for $136.49. If this is on the pricier side and therefore slightly outside of your budget, you could always opt for something similar from Walmart for $109.99, in white. Once you select a product that works for you, simply clear your chosen area — you'll need somewhere that's at least 22 inches wide — and slip it inside your closet or wherever else you want to place it, such as an entryway or in another part of your bedroom, and then use it to store your pairs of shoes. Just make sure there's enough maneuvering space to rotate where you place it.

When it comes to your footwear, you can organize them via style, color, or even size — it's entirely up to you. If you have too many for one of these systems, there is the option to buy several or to only use them to place your most used and favorite pairs. You could even stow some shoe polish away in there so you always have some on hand, which is useful for important events or when you need to quickly brush them up.  

If you want to take things a step further, you can easily customize your rotating storage stool. For starters, you could paint it in a different color, such as a pastel pink for something a bit more vibrant yet still subtle, or a creamy beige for a more rustic look, which would be perfect for an entryway or a modern walk-in wardrobe. Just ensure that if you do decide to do this, you cover up the cushioned part on the top of the product so you keep it intact. 

Speaking of which, you could replace it with your own cushion if it feels a bit boring otherwise, whether you want to buy one or already have your own that will fit if you're looking for even more unique customization. For example, opt for this comfy pillow-like cushion from Amazon for $29.99 or a customized, more colorful option for $14.99, also available on Amazon.

There's also the option to add lights or even some trim to the design for some more flair. However, if you're happy to do so, you can always keep it in its original form. This hack works because it allows you to see your shoes quickly, saving you time having to hunt for them in other places, and making it a much more efficient system that will help organize your closet.
