With spring almost upon us, Dunelm customers have been purchasing one £18 item in particular that’s created to keep your footwear organised and orderly. Extensive shoe collections can frequently cause clutter, which is why it’s crucial to purchase storage for those shoes we might use seasonally, such as winter boots.

This Coastal Stripe Shoe Storage Box has received a 4.7 out of 5 rating in customer reviews and features shoe dividers to keep footwear systematically arranged. The container arrives in a coastal stripe pattern and is foldable to conserve space, with carrying handles for convenient transport.

On the Dunelm website, the complete product description states: “Keep your footwear neatly stored in this collapsible shoe storage box. Featuring a sturdy frame and striped fabric design, it’s the perfect blend of style and function.”

For those seeking a bigger storage ottoman, Dusk is also offering this Soho Rectangle Ottoman Storage for £179 but homeware fans can currently use the code EXTRA15 to save 15%. It’s available in four different colours crafted in linen material with understated piping details for a “contemporary” and “classic” appearance.

However, not every customer was quite so taken with the ottoman’s design. One critique stated: “I thought these looked good and would be so useful – I ordered two, which sadly were both faulty when they arrived so I shall return them.

“To be honest if they were not faulty I may not have kept them anyway, for two reasons: Firstly the inserts are not fixed, but move about, so if for instance they were half full (or less) they would be awkward to use. Secondly, the zip of the lid doesn’t move smoothly around the corners which is very fiddly – I imagine they might easily break. Such a shame…a little more attention to detail needed Dunelm.”
