How Much Floor Space Are You Wasting? Discover the (Surprisingly Big!) Savings With a Shoe Rack

by Natalie Shipley-Younan 01 Sep 2025

The Hidden Space-Wasting Crisis

Here’s a fun fact you might not love: research shows that 80% of the items in most homes go unused. Yep, all those “just in case” buys are quietly eating up your space and your sanity.

Even worse? Studies show clutter actually spikes stress hormones and can even disrupt your sleep. Not exactly the “home sweet home” vibe you’re going for, right?

The good news? You don’t need a full renovation or a bigger house to reclaim your space. Sometimes, all it takes is a smart storage solution, like a stylish shoe rack—to give you your floor (and your peace) back.


How Much Space Are You Actually Losing?

If you’re like most Aussies, you’re probably wasting at least one square metre of prime floor space to scattered shoes, bags, or those “I’ll put it away later” piles.

And in a smaller home or apartment, that’s a huge chunk and up to 10% of your usable living area. That’s the difference between tripping over a pile of sneakers in the hallway or having a clear, calm entryway you can actually enjoy.


The Shoe Rack Revolution

Our 60-Pair Shoe Rack isn’t just a cabinet; it’s a floor-space liberator. Slide it against a wall in your hallway, wardrobe, or bedroom and boom you’ve just freed up a whole square metre.

Even better, decluttering doesn’t just look good. Studies show that keeping your home organised can cut housework by up to 40%. Imagine what you could do with that extra time, Netflix, wine, or a guilt-free nap, anyone?

Why Aussies Are Loving Smart Storage

  • Around 25% of us admit we don’t even use half our stuff.

  • Many homes have at least one “clutter zone” room that never quite feels finished.

It’s no wonder smart storage solutions are flying out the door, because less clutter means more room to live.


The Bottom Line

You don’t need a bigger home; you just need smarter solutions. A simple shoe rack, ottoman, or outdoor storage box can reclaim space, lower stress, and make your home feel twice the size.
