Hi Cecil

The in house shoe rack is built in cabinet with door closed, is this ok?

For the "open" shoe rack outside my house, as there is no more space in my HDB flat, can I camouflage by covering it up with a cloth? Pls advise.

I believe a lot of people in Singapore has the same scenario as me.

I know the shoe rack is not so good at either inside/outside the main door but due to the size of the flat, there is no other place to put. And I believe shoes cannot put in store room and bed room. Not only becos of feng shui but also bad smell.

Thanks
