I ran into a little snag with this because I didn't have enough space underneath, but no worries, I will be making the correct changes in the plans so you don't run into the same issue. This is the part where we can have a little more fun because we can customize the door fronts to look however we want. I first started off by attaching 1/4" sheets of plywood to the front of the doors using my staple gun. I also had these sheets cut down to size at The Home Depot and then made further cuts later using my Kreg Adaptive Cutting System. Overlay Cabinet Hinges: Overlay cabinet hinges usually come in a full overlay or half-overlay design depending on whether the cabinet doors cover the full or half face of the cabinet. Overlay hinges attach to the inside of the doors and prevent the doors from hitting each other.

I usually like my furniture to be sleek and neat but I also have a very bold personality, so this cabinet was the perfect combination of sleek but fun. After sanding, I started to use my Home Right Paint Sprayer to paint the shoe cabinet. I have used several sprayers over time and I really love this one. Mainly because it's so easy to set up and clean up. I wear a size twelve, so I tested out how my shoe would look with this particular slant and it worked perfect for my size, but you may want a smaller slant or you may want your shelves to be straight. This part is totally up to you, just make sure you adjust your measurements as needed. Once I started adding in the shelving, I noticed that the door dropped slightly, so it may not be a bad idea to add the shelving before you attach the door, but adding the shelves after helped me make sure all of the shelving lined up, so I will leave that up to you.Now on to the fun part. Even though I built this shoe storage on my own, it will be incredibly helpful if you can find help with this part. I hope you enjoy this shoe storage just as much as I do. I built a smaller hidden storage shoe cabinet but I outgrew it fast. It held 16 pairs of shoes, but this baby can hold 36 pair of shoes. Now that is what I call an upgrade. Now let's get into the details. Non-Mortise Butt and Wrap Hinges: Non-mortise butt and wrap hinges offer an efficient solution by eliminating the necessity of creating a mortise in the door frame. These hinges are designed to fit onto the surface of the door and frame, ensuring a seamless installation process with minimal gaps. By utilizing this type of hinge, any need for chiseling or cutting into the door or frame to create a mortise is eliminated. This innovative design allows for a near-zero gap between the door and the frame, resulting in a snug and aesthetically pleasing fit. The non-mortise design also simplifies the installation process, saving time and effort while still providing a secure and reliable hinge for the door. Whether it is for a new installation or a retrofit project, non-mortise butt and wrap hinges offer a practical and effective hardware solution for doors. I decided to slant my shelves to give the shoe cabinet some character but feel free to make your shelves however you like.

One thing to note here is that it's very important to leave enough space between the bottom of the doors and the shoe cabinet center frame so that there is enough room for the doors to freely swing open. I don't think I've ever been more excited about a project than I am today. I am very happy to be sharing theses DIY shoe cabinet plans with you. I was originally sent a picture of a shoe cabinet and I instantly fell in love. I started off attaching the doors with three hinges, but I will be adding two more hinges later for extra support for 5 in total on each doors, just waiting on the delivery man for the last two.I added some of my shoes just to see if the weight would affect the door and it didn't seem to affect it much, but adding in the shelves definitely did. If you want to make any changes to the doors, this is where you want to make those changes. Cabinet hinges are mainly used for cabinet doors and aid in the opening and closing of the doors. Cabinet hinges come in a wide array of dimensions and open degrees. Cabinet hinges have various hinge opening angles, with some hinges going up to 270 degrees for folding doors. Cabinet hinges are used in cabinet doors to prevent wear and tear from the extensive usage of the doors. This is because the cabinet door hinges can maintain the frame of the door in an exact position.
