And pictures! The visuals really help! I love seeing how you all manage your things! Loved that idea of a towel rack with knotted scarves; it could be really pretty (if you had the right combo). </p> <p>Right now I have heavy outdoor scarves in a bin near my door or on my coat hook near the door if I am regularly wearing them. And I have the rest of them folded on a shelf, but they don't really stay neatly, so I was thinking either a basket to contain them or a hanger of some kind. Now I'm thinking some combination might be best of all! </p> <p>Thanks again, everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves/page/2#post-464518 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 01:06:09 +0000 Queen Mum 464518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>charmain~ yes, that's exactly what I pictured. That way they won't slip around and fall off when you are trying to retrieve another one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves/page/2#post-464478 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 00:10:58 +0000 Aida 464478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine are in 2 places, and my storage method definitely needs revising. My silk scarves are on a rack hanger of some sort (probably for ties) at the back of my closet, but I plan to change this to folding them and placing them in a clear lidded bin to keep the dust off. My heavier scarves are on the back of one of the doors leading out of my bedroom on a coat/scarf hanger, but it's a bit hard to see the lower layers.</p> <p>Bella, I love your scarf shelf! That is a fabulous idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves/page/2#post-464293 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 20:39:31 +0000 HelenInCanada 464293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Usually flung - or when I'm being good, neatly folded - on the top shelf on my hall closet, so I can see all the colours available. I also drape scarves that go best with certain coats on the coat's hanger. How's that for scientific? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves/page/2#post-464241 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 19:27:58 +0000 nancylee 464241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are some photos of my scarf storage, Suz. The bedroom renovation a few years ago gave me the chance to expand and custom design my closet for the first time ever. Three years later, I'm still in LOVE with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves/page/2#post-464201 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:46:17 +0000 Charmian 464201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>QM: I'm super-duper constrained on closet space, which is how I came to the towel rack idea. If I ever get around to trying it out, I'll post a report.</p> <p>I had initially thought to just lay the scarves over the rack, but knotting them could be lovely! Something like <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=21800" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....?cid=21800</a>, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves/page/2#post-463998 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 15:09:01 +0000 bella 463998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you!

So easy to see what you have. Do you rotate them as you wear them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves/page/2#post-463980 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 14:46:33 +0000 bella 463980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is the promised picture. I had to use the flash, the colors are not quite accurate. I really like this storing method. I can see at a glance all my scarves and they don't wrinkle. While I am at it, some more pictures so you can see how I store all my accessories. This is the left wall of our tiny walk-in closet with slanted ceilings, where my accessories live. My fashion necklaces are hung on hooks on the wall and draped over the sides of the clothes organizer, along with a few bracelets I own.To the right you can see the purple plastic organizer where I keep all my fashion earrings and rings. Each clear pocket holds 1 or 2 pairs of earrings. Right in front of it is a belt hanger that I fashioned using this as a model:<br /> <a href="http://www.evriholder.com/Round-A-Belt.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.evriholder.com/Round-A-Belt.asp</a><br /> Right next to the belt hanger is something else I fashioned where I pinned all my brooches in order to keep them in one place.<br /> Lower levels of the organizer hold my socks, tights and underwear.<br /> My fine jewelry reside in a drawer in our bedroom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves/page/2#post-463978 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 14:42:45 +0000 Lisa 463978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the same Ikea scarf holder Kari is describing. I do not see an online link. It's one hanger with lots of holes on it to poke the scarves through. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves/page/2#post-463971 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 14:35:50 +0000 Mander 463971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have an over-the-door towel rail with three bars on the back of my closet door, and I just drape all the scarves over it. It sticks out from the door by about 4 inches so there is enough space to let the scarves all dangle down behind the bars so I can see everything. At the moment it is a bit overcrowded but it works pretty well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves/page/2#post-463884 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 11:52:57 +0000 krishnidoux 463884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is interesting and informative! </p> <p>Clover, can you describe this hanger of yours? </p> <p>I sometimes also hang a scarf with an outfit, but I find it wrinkles them. Usually, scarves are folded in 4 and placed into a large drawer I have devoted to them in a Ikea wardrobe. (I mention this because drawers in these wardrobes offer more flat surface, are easy to pull, and this makes a big difference esp. for scarves you want to be able to see). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves#post-463831 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 05:36:00 +0000 Nadya 463831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What works best for me is to drape a scarf around the neck of a hanger with a jacket or cardigan on it. That way I can see them as I'm getting dressed. I'm very visually oriented and this has made choosing a scarf much easier for some reason. I also have a bin in my coat closer for heavier handknit scarves that I mostly wear as outerwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves#post-463722 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 03:13:53 +0000 Kate 463722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rolled, in a drawer, with all of my knit tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves#post-463713 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 03:00:42 +0000 Heather 463713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hang them in the closet with the skirt hangers from the dry cleaners. My hangers are black plastic with gentle clasp clips on either end. No marks on anything ever. I can easily see them and they don't get wrinkled. I easily can see and remove the one I wish to wear and once I am done, I simply hang it back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves#post-463682 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 02:40:15 +0000 Anonymous 463682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have more room in my closet than I have clothes, so I just hang each scarf on a plastic hanger of it's own. I fold the out of season scarves and put them in a drawer (so my eyes get a break from looking at them--then they will seem *new* to me when the seasons change again). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves#post-463254 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 19:17:17 +0000 rachylou 463254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Folded in a plastic basket, with nice lines.

My heavier scarves and shawls are folded and stacked on an open shelf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves#post-463218 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 18:32:00 +0000 Sylvie 463218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My inexpensive scarves are on the same Container store hanger that QM pointed at. My three precious cashmere/silk blend scarves are folded nicely and stacked in a drawer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves#post-463215 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 18:28:47 +0000 Kari 463215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have a link to the product, but I picked up a flexible, holey scarf hanger at IKEA a while back (the holes are bigger than the one that Kim posted, and I think it has 20 or 24 holes?) I have a lot of hanging storage space in my closet right now so that method is most convenient, and it's better for me than keeping my scarves folded in boxes since they are all visible at the same time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves#post-463212 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 18:23:13 +0000 Queen Mum 463212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>charmain.. that is a really good idea, if you have the wall space. You could even hang a double towel bar...genius! And then you're thinking to loop each scarf with a slip knot around the bar?</p> <p><a href="http://www.sanliv.com/bathroom-accessories/series/double-towel-bar/" rel="nofollow">http://www.sanliv.com/bathroom.....towel-bar/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves#post-463209 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 18:17:53 +0000 Charmian 463209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been contemplating putting up a towel bar and draping the scarves over it; do any of you ladies have experience with that?</p> <p>I have a mixture of heavier cotton and lighter silk scarves, and I worry that storing different weights all on the same hanger will cause the hanger to tip to one side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves#post-463103 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 16:36:00 +0000 bella 463103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fold them and stack'em up.

[The swing-arm version mentioned by Velvetychocolate would be even better]. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves#post-463076 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 16:06:35 +0000 Sarah 463076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a basket on a shelf in my closet where they are all crumpled in. Probably not ideal as far as seeing what you have, but it works for my small collection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves#post-463075 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 16:03:39 +0000 Marvel Girl 463075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just started using the hangers that Queen Mum recommended. They are fantastic and my closet looks a lot neater than when I had the scarves piled onto regular hangers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves#post-463058 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 15:43:30 +0000 ironkurtin 463058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I roll mine and store them vertically next to each other in a pretty box. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves#post-463040 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 15:26:31 +0000 Queen Mum 463040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these..<br /> <a href="http://www.containerstore.com/shop/closet/accessoryStorage/tiesScarves?productId=10011718&#038;N=159" rel="nofollow">http://www.containerstore.com/.....#038;N=159</a><br /> I tried using the swingy arm pants hangers, but that didn't work as well for me.. With the holey hanger, I just have to pull on the scarf to retrieve it. With the swingy arm hanger, you have to undo all the arms above the one you want, retrieve your scarf, and redo all the arms again. I do it wtih my jeans, but with scarves, they tended to always be in disarray. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-scarves#post-463035 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 15:20:51 +0000 citygirldc 463035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm bad with my scarves. The heavier scarves are hung on my coat rack and the lighter silkier scarves are stuffed in a bag. I need a better system since storage space is limited. </p>
