File Folding.

File folding is a simple method to keep clothes and scarves organized.

Instead of stuffing scarves into drawers or bins, fold them into squares and line them up vertically like files in a filing cabinet. For bulkier scarves, this method works best as they will stand up better when placed on their side.

Smaller scarves can be rolled and stacked. You can use dresser drawers with dividers, a custom freestanding drawer unit in the closet, or bins and baskets to implement this method.

Wall Displays.

Utilize empty wall space to create a functional and visually appealing scarf display.

You can use racks to fold wool scarves like hand towels or knot lighter scarves of different materials in a row. Alternatively, individual hooks on the wall can be spaced out to hang scarves.

If you have a large collection, display your favorites and store the rest using another method.

Sweater Cubbies.

Although called sweater cubbies, these space-saving compartments are suitable for various clothes and accessories.

Hanging sweater cubbies can store file-folded sweaters using the accompanying drawer inserts. Lightweight scarves that can’t be folded well can be knotted and placed in these inserts.

Foldable scarves can also be laid horizontally on a shelf.

Accessory Organizers.

Consider using a hanging organizer designed for scarves, belts, and ties if you have a slim space on your closet rod.

Before choosing an organizer, declutter your scarf collection and determine the number of scarves you have. Hanging scarves individually allows for easier access and better visibility.

However, thicker scarves might require a different storage method.

Sweater Boxes.

Sweater boxes with drop-front openings are versatile organizers that can accommodate various items.

They can be stacked or placed on shelves, protecting against dust and dirt. These boxes are ideal for storing chunkier scarves, which can be folded horizontally and placed inside.

The clear window on the front allows you to see the contents without opening the box.

Use S Hooks.

If you lack wall space but prefer hanging scarves individually, S hooks offer an inexpensive solution.

Attach hooks to your closet rod or a wall rack and hang scarves in any order you prefer. Another cost-effective option is to use open-ended shower curtain rings for the same purpose.

Over-the-Door Hooks.

An over-the-door rack placed inside your bedroom or Coat Closet can hold numerous scarves, depending on the number of hooks available.

Similarly, an over-the-door shoe organizer with individual pockets can be used to store knotted scarves.

Blanket Ladder.

A blanket ladder, often found in living rooms, can also be used to store scarves as decorative items.

Fold chunky scarves over the lower rungs, similar to how you would place blankets, and knot thinner scarves on the upper rungs. This method can be implemented in the bedroom, closet, or entryway.
