It's very convenient, I must say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-793695 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 18:29:06 +0000 Anonymous 793695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have so many scarves that I use several storage ideas. First I use clear plastic shoe boxes labled by color to store those that aren't in current use. If I do want one, it's quick to pull out the correct box.<br /> Then I use the rolled in a drawer storage for most seasonal scarves.<br /> some of the bulkier or more prone to wrinkle are hung on one of those velvetized hangers for 4 or 5 pairs of pants in the closet.<br /> Finally, the scarves worn with winter coats are hung with the coats in a hall coat closet, easy to grab when needed. I change out the drawer and hanging scarves in the clothing closet each season and clean and store woolen scarves for the summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-793682 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 18:18:34 +0000 merwoman 793682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing Nancy! I looked at swing racks (made for pants) and thought I would not be disciplined enough to fold the scarves on the racks.<br /> Your closet org is perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-793679 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 18:16:18 +0000 merwoman 793679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great solution Rachylou - form should follow function! I hear you about not being to see on top of shelves.<br /> Is the table going in your bedroom? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-793677 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 18:14:20 +0000 nancylee 793677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some of mine are folded, but the ones I wear most often are hung on a swing-arm magazine rack that I mounted inside my closet. (You can see it on the left side of the photo) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-793672 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 18:09:14 +0000 rachylou 793672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ya. Ok. This weekend I went to IKEA and bought a sofa table with a shelf for $59. I then went on a mad hunt for 5" tall bins to put on the little shelf, in which I've put all my scarves, hats, and gloves. I've got baskets under the table for shoes. No doubt I will want to put storage stuff on top of the table too. </p> <p>I was storing my scarves and hats in bins on top of clothing shelves. But that's too high up for things I reach for everyday. Thus the whole sofa table thing.</p> <p>...I've given up on the idea of decor and am now just going for "put away." I should really hire someone to throw out all my stuff and decorate my teeny tiny apartment. I should get more appropriate furniture for such a small place. On the other hand, they've raised my rent and I expect I shall not live in this silly-size apartment forever. But now I digress... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-793191 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 02:09:36 +0000 merwoman 793191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So many great ideas - thank you all for your suggestions. Suz - I should probably check the archives before posting! I am gravitating towards the "least work" suggestion - the towel bar may be it for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-792517 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 04:42:20 +0000 Susie 792517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Finding a new way to organize my scarves was one of my recent projects. I wanted them in the closet with the rest of my clothes so a drawer in my dresser wouldn't work. </p> <p> First I had a hanger with multiple arms and I folded 2or3 on each arm. But I couldn't see all of them at once and it was a nuisance to re-hang them. </p> <p>Then I tried the shower rings on a hanger but they all slid to one end and it was too heavy. </p> <p>Finally, I got this at container store:</p> <p><a href="http://www.containerstore.com/shop/closet?productId=10005137&#038;N=4&#038;Ns=p_sort_default%7C0&#038;Ntt=Shoe+organizer" rel="nofollow">http://www.containerstore.com/.....+organizer</a></p> <p>Perfect! I stack 2 in each section. They are easy to see and grab and easy to put back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-792483 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 03:50:12 +0000 Suz 792483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember I started a thread on this last year! I love all of these solutions. I don't have many scarves right now so I have them rolled in one of those IKEA organizer thingies: <a href="http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/80107974/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/cata...../80107974/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-792431 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:26:06 +0000 Deborah 792431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also have a drawer dedicated to my scarves:) It's quite deep, and I roll my scarves and place them one in front of the other so i can see them all. Works well if I am disciplined to roll them and put them back properly when I take them off:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-792376 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 01:39:50 +0000 JR 792376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am clearly an amateur. I have a drawer dedicated to them, using shoe boxes as dividers. The scarves are folded and stacked according to shape. I can't see them all at once, unfortunately, but I have a decent idea of what I've got, so it's not too big a problem. Every now and then I check to see what's at the bottom of each pile, just to refresh my memory on the seldom-worn ones. And that's about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-792351 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 00:37:32 +0000 Mander 792351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, that is exactly the sort of thing I use, Merwoman! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-792270 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 21:21:16 +0000 Ariadne 792270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the over the door shoe caddy idea--I think I'm going to do that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-792168 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 18:10:08 +0000 merwoman 792168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So many great ideas!! Thank you ladies!<br /> Mander - looks like you use something like this? I definitely have the required raw material to fill these racks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-792131 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 16:55:01 +0000 Diana 792131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use the over the door hooks like Sara linked to, although I really like Mander's towel bar solution and may look into that. The really ginormous blankety winter scarves are folded up in the bin with my hats and gloves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-792128 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 16:49:33 +0000 Carole 792128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just pinned this on Pinterest the other day, so clever.

I hang most of my long rectangular scarves there (probably 10-12)</p> <p>I think they get some wrinkles set in where they go over the hook and that exact spot is often front and center when I wear them So, my current favorite three are in fluffy little piles on top of plastic bins of neatly folded (and ignored) scarves.</p> <p>I like Manders towel bar approach. . . and need to think about that. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-792108 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 16:11:06 +0000 goldenpig 792108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use this scarf hanger:<br /> <a href="http://www.containerstore.com/shop?productId=10011718&#038;N=&#038;Ns=p_sort_default" rel="nofollow">http://www.containerstore.com/.....rt_default</a>|0&amp;Ntt=scarf+hanger<br /> It has 10 slots...I think I have about that many scarves. It keeps me from buying more, as I rarely wear scarves as it is...I have too many. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-792107 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 16:07:35 +0000 Mander 792107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I keep mine on an over-the-door towel rack on the closet door. Like this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-792105 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 15:58:46 +0000 Isabel 792105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the hanging shoe caddy idea !!! I keep mine in a couple of drawers. I roll them (like a tube )so that I can see each and each drawer is a different season. For my bulkier ones, I have those hanging "shelves" like this :</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Richards-Homewares-Shelf-Sweater-Organizer/dp/B000A64AUU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1355068811&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=canvas+hanging+organizer" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Richards.....+organizer</a></p> <p>Hang in there !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-792090 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 15:28:13 +0000 merwoman 792090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for confirming the caddy idea Pil! And the great thing about scarves is they look lovely pooling in a chair, or "reclining" on the floor! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-792089 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 15:26:19 +0000 merwoman 792089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea Atlantia - and if it is clear plastic, even better! Thank you!<br /> I had looked at type of trouser rack, but I don't think I would be disciplined enough to keep up with the folding it would require. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-792087 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 15:25:53 +0000 pil 792087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use the over the door caddy Atlantia suggested. Mine isn't clear but I can still see what is where. Of course, my scarves sometimes just end up on the chair in the bedroom and don't make it to the caddy : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-792077 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 15:14:02 +0000 Atlantia 792077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw on Pinterest someone used one of those plastic hanging shoe caddies that go on a door. Seems better to me than the hanging loop kind, because with those, the scarves can still overlap and get confusing. Something to think about if you tend to get dressed before getting caffeinated! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-chaoshow-do-you-organize-your-scarves#post-792070 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 15:08:26 +0000 merwoman 792070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello lovely YLFers!<br /> The whole house is in chaos - kitchen is undergoing a facelift, we have a lovely couple in painting the cupboard exteriors. Gifts to be wrapped and shipped are strewn here and there - christmas decorations are still in boxes ...arrrgggh<br /> I'd like to gain control of a small piece of real estate - my closet! Anyone have some good tips on how to organize scarves so that they can be seen and easily accessed?<br /> Thanks everyone! </p>
