If you have way too many shoes and not enough space in your closet, it might be time to invest in an Ikea shoe cabinet. Having a shoe cabinet is a nice way to make your home aesthetically pleasing while storing all of your shoes. Ikea hacks are trendy and fun ways to turn your furniture from basic to bougie on a dime. These hacks are functional and can make your space look nice and cohesive. When it comes to home organization ideas, a shoe cabinet might not be at the top of the list, but having a cabinet that doubles as decor and storage will make for a polished look in your home. The great thing about IKEA cabinets is that they are functional, aesthetic, and pretty affordable. If you’re looking to upgrade your IKEA shoe cabinet for a more elevated look, check out the seven Ikea shoe cabinet hacks below.

Marble Contact Paper

Turn your Ikea shoe cabinet into a stylish entryway piece by adding marble contact paper. This quick and easy hack can be done with just contact paper, scissors, and something to flatten the contact paper. Just measure the marble contact paper, cut it, and attach it to the top and sides of the shoe cabinet for the ultimate luxe look that stores all of your favorite pairs of shoes.

Brass Knobs

Add a touch of classy to your Ikea shoe cabinet by adding brass knobs. This hack adds a refined touch to your space and adding a pop of color to the cabinet with the brass adds an elegant vibe to the space. You can get replacement knobs either from Ikea or from Amazon.

Geometric Panels

If you want a more modern touch in your home replace the cabinets with geometric panels. Purchase geometric paneling from your local home improvement store, and shape it to fit into where the cabinets were. For this hack, gray or black panels look best for that modern home look.

Wood Countertops

This Ikea shoe cabinet hack is a great way to incorporate a modern or farmhouse aesthetic into your furniture. Either add wood to the top of the shoe cabinet or do both the top and the sides for a waterfall effect. This hack will blend your cabinet into the space and make for a great entryway furniture piece.

Bold Patterns

Nothing says unique like bold patterns. Turn your basic Ikea shoe cabinet into a work of art with this unique hack. If you’re artistic, you can use paint to make a cool pattern or design. For an easier route, purchase some peel-and-stick wallpaper, measure and cut it, and stick it on the shoe cabinet, and flatten it out.

A Feature Wall

For the sneakerhead or shoe collector, create a feature wall to display your shoes. Buy a few shoe racks from Ikea and hang them up using screws or command strips. This can be displayed in your room, at the entryway of your home, or any room in your home. Hang up your best pairs of shoes afterward. This hack is simple and will make your guests feel like they are in a shoe museum.

Black Leather Handles

Another simple hack for your Ikea shoe cabinet is to replace those simple handles and add black leather ones instead. This especially pairs well with white shoe cabinets, but can also work well with black, gray, wood, or colorful cabinets. The black leather gives this furniture piece a luxurious feel and works well with boho, modern, and farmhouse home designs. Spruce up any cabinet you have with this hack.
