Looking for shoe and bag storage ideas that give everything its own spot? A slim shoe cabinet, hooks for your everyday tote or shelves for your favorite handbags are all good places to start.
There are little corners to borrow from here, plus whole-wall setups if you have the space.
You can keep things simple or go all out. I especially love the displays that put pretty bags right alongside the shoes.
Why hide every pair when you could make a few part of the room?
Shoe and bag storage worth saving
curved cabinet and tilt-out rows
We’re starting off strong with this gorgeous brown shoe cabinet. I love the rounded corners and the three tilted rows of shoes.
The matching mirrors beside it are such a pretty extra touch.

Keep your own cabinet top simple with a framed print and a small vase, just like this.
bench with baskets above
If you want a little bit of everything, this setup is for you. There are shoe cubbies below the bench, baskets across the top and a tall closed cabinet beside the hooks.
The small bag hanging next to the coats is a detail worth copying. Give your everyday bag its own hook rather than leaving it on the seat.
clear handbag boxes
How pretty are these clear boxes? The blush and beige bags share the upper box while the dark chevron-patterned bag gets its own spot below.
You can still see all those little gold-colored details.
Try this kind of display if you like having your bags visible without leaving them on an open shelf.
backpack bays and shoe cubbies
This is such a cute way to organize backpacks. The white unit has separate hanging bays, labeled bins above and two rows of shoes underneath.
If you’re sharing an entryway, try assigning each person a section. Carry the same labels down to the shoe cubbies if you want to make the arrangement even clearer.
slanted wall baskets
Don’t want another cabinet on the floor? These wall baskets give you a different way to store your shoes.
I love the pale sandals peeking out of the angled openings.
You could use the hooks above for a small everyday bag to bring both kinds of storage onto this wall.
tall white shoe racks
The shoe lovers are going to love this! Two tall white racks hold row after row of sneakers, ankle boots and other shoes, with storage boxes sitting above.
Try grouping your own pairs by style like this. Keep the ones you reach for most on shelves you can easily reach.
door baskets and a tote hook
This door organizer may just be one of my favorites here. I love how the cream tote hangs between the baskets, with an umbrella alongside it.
The shoes have a separate tray on the floor. You don’t have to squeeze everything into the same organizer to give it all a place.
long bench and open hooks
If you are looking for a simple entryway arrangement, this one is for you. Shoes and baskets sit underneath a long brown bench, with a shelf and a row of hooks above.

There are plenty of empty hooks in this picture. I’d reserve one for a bag and leave the bench clear enough to sit down.
pale blue bag cabinet
I am obsessed with this pale blue cabinet. The lit shelves and clear-front doors make the colorful handbags look so pretty.
Give your favorite bags a little space between them if you want a similar display. The upright handles and forward-facing bags are details I’d keep.
lit nook with a little bench
How cute is this little entryway nook? There’s a beige bag hanging between the coats, plus two open shoe shelves beneath the seat.
I especially love the lighting along the shelf and under the bench. If you’re planning a similar unit, those are lovely details to include.
baskets in a narrow corner
Here is another basket idea, but this one mixes bags and shoes. The middle wall basket holds black and tan handbags while the others show shoes and hats.
Use separate baskets for your own bags and shoes if you’d rather keep them apart. You can still follow this same vertical arrangement.
shoe squares and an umbrella slot
Don’t want a full wall of shelves? No problem! This white cabinet pairs small shoe cubbies with a tall section for an umbrella.
I love the little baskets tucked between the shoes. For a bag-friendly variation, you could reserve an empty cubby for a small purse that fits.
clear dividers for small bags
These little bag compartments are so satisfying to look at. Clear dividers separate cream, blush and tan bags across two levels.
Try a divided organizer if your smaller bags tend to end up in one pile. Check the compartment sizes against your bags before choosing one.
drawers beneath the bed
This is a different place to tuck away your shoes! Long drawers pull out from the side of the bed, with pairs arranged along each row.
I love that the storage follows the pale colors of the room. Just make sure your own layout leaves enough space to open the drawers.
rows of wall-mounted shoes
If you’re looking for shoe storage without a deep cabinet, take a look at this wall. The gray racks hold pairs upright behind wide front rails.
The red and yellow shoes look so fun among the darker pairs. You could group yours by color if you want to take that a little further.
open shelves beside a mirror
This tall white unit keeps things nice and simple. Sandals sit near the top, sneakers fill the middle shelves and taller boots have more space below.
The full-length mirror beside it is a lovely addition. Try a similar pairing in your dressing area if you have a spare stretch of wall.
bags in the middle
If you are looking for a whole-wall arrangement, then this one is for you. Narrow shoe shelves run down both sides while wider central cubbies hold handbags.

I love the tall boot spaces along the bottom. Plan the openings around your own collection rather than making every shelf the same height.
blue-gray doors and a bench
I am obsessed with this blue-gray entryway unit. The brown bench top and matching shelf look so pretty against the paneled back.
The doors are closed, so the inside arrangement isn’t shown. For your own version, you could plan shoe shelves inside the tall cabinet and use the open hooks for bags.

a door full of bag storage
Don’t want to add more furniture? Look at the back of your door. This white organizer holds several bags on hooks, with baskets above and below for smaller items.
The large tan tote is my favorite part. Before trying this arrangement, check that your loaded organizer leaves enough room for the door to close.
black shelves for bags and heels
Last but definitely not least, we have these pretty black display shelves. I love how the handbags sit alongside heels, sunglasses and jewelry.
Try pairing a favorite bag with shoes on the same shelf. Keep a little room around them so you can enjoy the display without having to move everything to grab one piece.
