Finding good ways to store your accessories will not only protect them from dust and damage, but also make them easier to find. When you can easily grab the piece you’re looking for and don’t have to clean or untangle it, you’ll discover that you wear and use your favorite accessories more often.
Read our tips below on how to safely and conveniently store different types of accessories in your closet.
Jewelry
To store jewelry, either have a jewelry insert put in one of your drawers or make room for a proper jewelry box. That way, you can store individual pieces in their own compartments instead of throwing everything into one undivided drawer or box, which is sure to become a tangled mess over time. If you want even easier access to jewelry you wear on a regular basis, add a few small hooks or a jewelry stand to your closet.
Ties and belts
Putting a belt and tie rack in your closet is a great way to keep these items organized and accessible. It will make it easy for you to compare ties and belts when you’re deciding what you want to wear in the morning. Because you don’t have to fold these items to store them in a drawer, you will also avoid wrinkled ties and cracks in your leather belts.
Bags
It’s a good idea to store your purses in an enclosed space to protect them from dust and fading. If you have a large closet, store your bags in cabinets or drawers. If not, use boxes or dust bags. Consider creating shelf space or adding a few hooks to store one or two in-season bags out in the open for easy access. Swap these bags out when you feel like using different ones.
Scarves
Most people hang their scarves or store them folded in a stack, but there’s a better way. Fold your scarves in half lengthwise, then roll them up. For any that have fringe, make sure the fringe is inside the roll. Then store your rolled scarves upright in a basket or open box. This method is great because it keeps your scarves visible and unwrinkled while protecting the fringe and taking up less storage space.
