I.e., bigger than the hosiery hanger. This works if you have a family's worth of gloves, including bulky ski gloves. Also can roll scarves and tuck inside. And earmuffs. And pretty much anything you may need handy.  When kids went off to college I took that down and installed an over the door handbag holder instead, and moved remaining gloves/hats into a drawer in a dresser near our front door. Gloves/hats are slightly less accessible (they get all jumbled, the drawer is dark, can't see everything) but I've got mine in one drawer and DH's in another so at least I'm not digging through 4 people's worth of gloves hats etc, just my own.

I think something like this works really well for gloves, hats and scarves, if you have room for it in a room near your main entrance (ours is about five steps from our front door and our coat closet, so it's easy access). It also holds a small lamp, so it serves a couple of functions. We also have a little plastic stackable drawer unit in our coat closet that holds hats, scarves, etc. It is similar to this: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.target.com/p/sterilite-2-drawer-ultra-cart-white/-/A-13794884#prodSlot=medium_1_34">http://www.target.com/p/steril.....edium_1_34</a> viva on "How do you store hats and gloves?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-hats-and-gloves#post-1192349 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 14:33:25 +0000 viva 1192349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ We have one of those benches that has the baskets underneath (Pottery Barn, but there are probably cheaper ones at places like HomeGoods), and I can keep the hats and mittens in there year round and forget about them. Of course, it's another piece of furniture, but it's a useful one. em on "How do you store hats and gloves?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-hats-and-gloves#post-1192345 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 14:29:29 +0000 em 1192345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I clip them using closepins to a hanging string in the laundry room.

So much stuff!!!  At my old apartment I had a box for gloves/mittens and threw hats on the top shelf of the closet.  At the house, there isn't room for this arrangement as the closet is already overstuffed with other crap.  Help me come up with a solution other than shoving them into a bag and then wedging them into a spot by sheer force.
