How to store your accessories!

The space saving way!! Currently I am a bit short on space and I wanted to share with you a few ideas as I have had to downsize and store 75% of my stuff in storage! :(

EARRINGS

I store my earrings in an acrylic divided box from Muji, I coordinate them by colour or style. It's very easy for me to find something that I want as I can see everything properly.

It has a sliding lid to protect it from dust, I just sweep this box under the bed.


Or, you can hook your earrings onto a glass, mug or vase and display them on your dressing table.

NECKLACES

I store my necklaces hooked onto these inexpensive little hooks from Ikea, I currently have a canvas wardrobe so I have quite a few wooden panels to hook things onto. However, you can hook these hooks onto the inside of your wardrobe door, so once the doors are open everything is clearly displayed but out of the way.



Or, if you have drawer space you can lay your necklaces all neatly in a row. Furthermore Muji also do lots of various acrylic dividers, you can pop your necklaces into those.

Another tip: I used to display all of my necklaces onto a pinboard that I covered with pretty wallpaper, I would just hook them all onto the pins and had it hanging on my wall, it was a beautiful piece of art. However, the hubby did not appreciate it - he saw it as clutter! :)

RINGS AND BANGLES

A way to store your rings is hooked onto a hoop earring, none of them go flying around. I have currently just popped my bracelets into a box which slides under the bed.

Or, If you have drawer space, you can pop all of your rings into a box and even display it on your dressing table.

You can also store your bangles neatly in a row, I do this by popping a circular cylinder shape inside them, you can use the inside of a kitchen towel or in my case I had a pretty olive oil box that I saved.

SCARVES

I folded mine up and displayed them upright into a cardboard box that was sent through the post with some clothes in it. It's amazing what you can do by recycling. You can store this in a drawer or even slip it under the bed.

Or, you can get a scarf hanger and slot them all in, however I find that this gets quite bulky and takes up more space than the folded option.

BELTS

I have just hooked mine over the wooden panel of the inside of the wardrobe, but a more practical way to store them is on a belt hanger. Of course, they aren't all of my belts! :)

BAGS

It's nice to have your bags all laid out but it takes up too much space, I got this fabric cream box from Ikea. I folded the bags neatly and put them inside. I just pop these inside the cupboard. However, I find it's nice to have a nice chest at the end of the bed or in front of a window to store bags in.

SHOES

Currently they are placed neatly on a little shelf in the wardrobe, nothing special about it. I sometimes overlap the shoes - but that's quite obvious so didn't feel the need to show you a picture. When I had the space, I would either store them in a shoe cupboard or a chest.
