How to Choose the Right Shoe Rack Online for Your Space
In Indian homes, the entrance or hallway creates the first impression and often the first mess. Scattered shoes can make even the most well-decorated home look untidy. The fix? A sturdy, stylish, and functional shoe rack for home that stores your footwear neatly.
But with so many styles available online, how do you pick the right one?
At Royaloak India, we bring you a handpicked range of stylish, functional, and durable shoe rack designs that suit every Indian household. Here’s what you’ll find in this blog: how to choose the perfect one for your space and a look at five of our bestsellers.
Things to Consider When Buying Shoe Racks Online in India
Before browsing through endless options online, here are a few things you need to take into account to find the right shoe rack for your space.
1. Count How Many Footwear You Have
Let’s be honest, how many pairs of shoes do you really own? Office formals, temple chappals, party heels, cricket shoes, floaters for grocery runs – the list goes on.
If you’re just two people living in an urban apartment in Mumbai with only a few daily-use pairs, the GUDSMITH Walken Single Door Shoe Rack is a smart choice. It doesn’t eat up floor space, hides the clutter, and the Colombian Walnut finish adds a classy touch to your hallway. Perfect for couples, bachelors, or a guest room.
2. Measure the Available Space
It’s essential to measure the area where your shoe rack will be placed, especially in urban Indian apartments where space is at a premium. Consider vertical space for taller racks or horizontal units for entryway benches or corners.
The Royaloak Cosmos Shoe Rack with 2 Door Storage is a beautiful mid-sized solution. Its dual-door storage and symmetrical design make it perfect for compact foyers, corridors, or beside the main door. The streamlined silhouette ensures it doesn’t overpower your space while still offering ample storage.
3. Consider the Type of Shoe Rack
Some people prefer open racks for easy access. Others want closed wooden shoe racks that keep dust (and clutter) away. A few might love hybrid or transitional designs with jali or mesh features for ventilation.
Check out the Royaloak Hilton Wooden Shoe Rack 2 Door, made from solid Sheesham wood with a jali front. It not only hides the shoes but also adds a decorative touch. Some shoe rack designs even come with seating on top for ease while putting shoes on.
Bonus Tip: Choose racks with removable shelves, water-resistant laminates, and elevated legs that are perfect for dusty Indian homes and quick mop runs.
4. Pick the Right Material
In Indian weather conditions like humidity, heat and dust, a sturdy and low-maintenance material is a must. Opt for a shoe rack with doors that’s made with high-quality engineered wood, treated for moisture and termite resistance.
-
Engineered wood offers a sleek modern look and consistent finish.
-
Solid wood feels premium and adds a timeless charm.
-
Finishes like Colombian walnut or high-gloss laminates resist heat, dust, and scratches.
Made from a naturally durable design and ample storage, the Royaloak Opal 4 Door Shoe Rack from our Emperor collection is perfect for large families.
5. Consider Your Budget
Last but not least, consider your budget. You might have the ideal type and design in mind, but finding the perfect shoe rack within your budget can still be tricky. That’s why you should keep an eye out for offers, sales, combo discounts or EMI options. Additionally, always look for:
-
Verified buyer reviews
-
Warranty and return policy
-
Quality certifications (especially for wood and metal)
At Royaloak, we offer a range of shoe choices that are trendy, within your budget and that fit your overall home aesthetics. We also offer installation support, a 12-month warranty and EMI options so you can have your preferred shoe rack without putting a hole in your pocket.
