Vintage shoe cabinet

Why choose a vintage shoe cabinet?

Say goodbye to shoes scattered along the wall or left by the front door. Your footwear deserves a proper cabinet—one that keeps them protected from dust and your space neat. Whether placed in the hallway or laundry room, a vintage shoe cabinet is a stylish and on-trend solution that blends function with charm.

How to choose the right shoe cabinet?

This piece of furniture is often placed in a small space, so feel free to indulge and go for a beautiful vintage piece as we love them. It will add character to your space. To choose, there are several criterias to consider:

• Material: wood is highly valued for its sturdiness and its weathered finishes, which respect the retro aesthetic sought. Cane detailing (on the drawers, for example) adds a natural and authentic touch to your cabinet. Don’t overlook details such as wood ornaments or handles carved directly into the piece, as they add a lot of charm.
• Colour: you can opt for pop or darker colours, depending on the style you prefer. Dark colours like brown and black are more reminiscent of the 1950s, while fluorescent colours are more typical of the 1970s/1980s.
• Shape: some shoe cabinets are designed like a chest of drawers. This is particularly practical if you don’t have much space, as they are vertical and can store a good number of shoes. Others are designed as benches with compartments and a cushion to sit on.

How to pair your shoe cabinet with your décor?

Dress your wall with floral or geometric patterned wallpaper, a Berber rug, and a lovely retro mirror, and it will blend perfectly with your shoe cabinet to create a vintage atmosphere without clashing with your décor.
