Measuring only 20 1/2 (52 cm) x15 3/8 (39 cm) with a depth of 7 1/8 (18 cm), this little shoe box can literally fit in everywhere.

While it is designed to hold shoes, in reality, its a multi-tasker. And well take a look at how the TRONES is put to good use all around the house.

TRONES wall mounted shoe cabinet ideas

#1 At the entrance

These can store shoes, obviously. Space out 2 of the boxes to create a drop zone for keys, lean a mirror, etc.

For a tighter hallway, use just two of them with a wood ledge. Stick 3M Command hooks on the inside of the shoe cabinet to hold all your keys. See the hack here.

#2 In the bedroom

Surprisingly, the TRONES works brilliantly in the bedroom. Here it is as a simple storage headboard.

If all white is not your style, you can Mod Podge the surfaces with a fabric / paper you love and add a wood frame around it. See a tutorial for that here.

If your headboard serves a room divider of sorts, you can also make use of the TRONES boxes and take advantage of the space behind the bed. Like the hack below.

And not forgetting, it is just as functional as a lovely wall mounted nightstand. If space does not permit, use one TRONES box for a small nightstand.

#3 In the laundry room

The TRONES works amazing as a laundry sorter. Label the boxes with stickers delicates, color, hot and cold according to your washing preferences. See it here.

Place it right next to your washer, below a wooden ledge for more surface area and to keep the look seamless.

#4 In the bathroom

Elizabeth used a single TRONES box above the toilet cistern to store paper rolls. See how nicely the rolls fit in there.

Stack them along your bathroom wall and you can store your towels, hairdryer and so much more.

#8 In the balcony / patio

Add more storage to your patio with two or more TRONES boxes. Handy for hiding less than pretty gardening tools. You may even be able to convert it into a vertical garden.
