My shoes used to pile up in my hallway, which neither looked tidy, nor benefited their longevity. It was time for a change, my shoes deserved better! My hallway is way too small for a big fancy shoe closet, so I decided to put one in my study, because that room is closest to my front door. I didn't want to spend too much on it though, so I did another (tiny) Ikea hack, giving a good old Billy book case a small facelift.... What I used: 1 white Billy book case $ 59.99 1 white Billy height extension unit $ 20.00 2 white Billy Olsbo doors $ 100.00 2 white small Billy Olsbo doors $ 40.00 6 glass Billy shelves $ 60.00 4 Faglavik door knobs (2 packs) $ 9.98 4 Grundtal spotlights (2 packs) $ 49.98 Total $ 339.95 I am so happy with the result! The case ensures my shoes stay clean and organised and, you know... it just looks pretty darn cool! ;-)

For your reference, the shelves are about 10.5 inches deep.

How does the lighting works? How is it installed? Are they battery operated or do they need access to an outlet?

I’m a size 8 and this bookshelf with the doors is like right at it’s limit. Some shoes make the door not close all the way but you can’t tell, like it’s really RIGHT at the cut off, so if you have over a size 8 shoe I would not recommend doing this! 7.5 would for sure close though.
