I repurposed a narrow spice rack as a sunglasses ledge, and the shallow depth was weirdly perfect for frames. If your apartment has awkward skinny walls, this is such a space-smart swap.

Explore these options:

  • Wall-Mounted Wooden Spice Rack: Use a simple wooden spice rack to keep your sunglasses organized and easily accessible on any wall.
  • Small Woven Storage Basket: Place a small woven basket on the top shelf to stylishly hold cleaning cloths or spare cases.

  • Grid Drawer Organizer Tray: Create individual compartments for your glasses to keep them organized and separated to prevent accidental scratching.
  • Velvet Jewelry Drawer Insert: Line your drawers with a soft, segmented tray to cushion delicate frames and add a touch of luxury.

  • Linen Lined Sunglass Display Case: Protect lenses from scratches using a display case featuring soft linen or velvet dividers for individual pair storage.
