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.

great post muhsine!
I found this post very useful, especially the one about storing earrings in a Muji box! I'm definitely investing in one! Btw, I have exactly the same golden bangle as the one in the bottom right hand corner of the bangle box pic :-)

This is actually very helpful. I store my accessories in a drawer. But I like the acrylic boxes. Dunno where I can find one here but I'm gonna try dunelm haha.

Those hangers are so cool and just what I need.

Thanks for this!!

Love this post so much! Your accessories are so well organised. I'm very jealous. Love the tip about the glass and the earrings and also loved your scarf box. Mine are a horrible mess. :( This must be sorted before winter otherwise its going to be chaos! lol :) xxx

This post could not come a better time for me, because I really need to organise my jewelry better. I love the idea for using the glass for earrings. I am going to try it out today. You are a lifesafer :-).
Jewelry is a bit of a challange to keep organised without looking cluttered, but you done the opposite. This has so made my day. Thanks a bunch.

Steph said…
I love the jar and the earrings idea. These were soo helpful! Currently mine are hanging from a memo board with ribbon across but I tend to find it difficult to get a hold off since it has to lean on the wall behind my dresser. Thanks for the tips!

I like the necklace idea with the hooks cos then u can see them all clearly and the chains dont get tangled. my necklaces are all over my room. So's my make up actually. its so darn annoying.

Brill ideas :o)

Me and the mother also use our door hooks for our necklaces too!! Another good storage idea is a wooden loo roll stand for bracelets! x
Unknown said…
Great ideas! I especially like the options for scarf storage. They always get buried in the bottom of a drawer or closet therefore I can't find them when I actually need them!

You have amazing jewelry & accessories! Great post :) x
Cher said…

I was wondering about the way you store your scarves. I know if I pulled one out it will mess up the other scarves. Do you put cardboard inbetween the scarves?

Looks like I may have to make a trip to IKEA for hooks and containers. I really like the one you used for the handbags. I use a fabric container for my handbags. Its bright pink, I like yours better.

Great tips!! I like the idea of hanging necklaces from a peg board.. I didn't think of that... thanks!

I nominated you for an award on my blog! x

Awesome post :)

I like seeing storage ideas...

I find it easy enough to store my makeup but jewelry is one thing I can never seem to organise. I HATE my necklaces tangling together so much!

Will have to look out for the hooks to put on the inside of my wardrobe door, that's a great idea! When I had a massive corkboard at uni I would hang them on there using coloured drawing pins :)

Anna Saccone said…
Ohmigod Muhsine this puts my organisation video to shame!!!! You are SUPER organised, I love all of your ideas!! :) xoxo Anna
Best blog post ever. I need to sort my room out as the man in my life is starting to moan. I hang my necklaces on a statue thingy and it takes me ages to get them off. I love your hook idea but my cupboard doors are sliding.

I might just get that box from Muji and put them in individual boxes.

Muhsine Emin said…

@Anna dont be silly lol :) xx

@Rhamnousia muji has fantastic stuff, those divider boxes are amazing!
