Shelves made of plastic, well suited for interiors in high-tech styles, minimalism or loft. This material is practical, easy to clean, but the least durable of all.

It is much easier to determine the color of the bedside table, if it is the only furniture in the hallway, and the wallpaper and floor are finished in a neutral scale. Almost any shade is suitable for beige, gray, brown or white. The choice becomes more difficult if there is a wardrobe with decorated facades and other furniture. In this case, the color of the shoebox is better to pick up the rest of the headset to the façades. High models of shoe pedestals with contrasting facades, for example, vanilla and chocolate shades, will look beautiful. They will be well combined with dark woods, coffee shades, black and beige.
Shelves in the color of oak or beech harmoniously fit into any furnishings hallway. If the cabinet has a seat, its upholstery can be a beautiful color of melted milk, which is combined with all woody shades. The material can be used cloth or leatherette. Furniture with neutral monophonic facades and glass inserts will harmoniously look in the style of high-tech or minimalism. Colors bedside tables for shoes can be viewed on the photo below.
