Shoe racks are usually designed just for shoes, and shoes aren’t the prettiest things to look at. So, no matter where you place the rack, it tends to be an eyesore and look Awful date. However, if you combine shoes with decorative items to create a modern aesthetic, and if you add storage for other everyday items, you can turn your shoe rack from a necessary evil into a design asset. This is the idea behind the new IKEA tiles Open Storage Combination, available for $154.
IKEA challenges the idea that shoe racks are useful by making FLISAT visually appealing. The frame, which is 46 1/8 inches high and 34 5/8 inches wide, is constructed of pine that has a clear finish to maintain its natural look. The frame has a permanent pine shelf (painted pine) on top, and a central divider that extends down the middle and holds holders for the temporary shelves (painted pine white) that come with the unit. The divider hangs 11 3/4 inches from the floor, leaving space for shoes under the shelves.
Clear pine and white shelves create a modern aesthetic that is rounded out by a white acrylic side and back panel that extends down the middle. But the top and bottom are left open, giving the unit a pleasing feel. Finally, you get a pine clothes rail for hanging towels and small clothing items, and a plastic TROFAST tray for keys and other everyday items, making this an extremely versatile storage solution.
