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.

More hallway storage inspiration
Tara's first bag and shoe organiser for this tricky spot was also a winner.
Workshop member Sez made an entryway organiser that includes space to hang coats and bags and a bench seat that's handy for putting on shoes.
