How to Organize Scarves

If only accessories looked as good carelessly strewn about the house as they did when we wore them. When not stylishly tied around our necks, fashion accoutrements like scarves are all but forgotten. Finding a method of organization for such items will preserve the longevity of beloved belongings. Review the guidelines below to get a handle on the organization of scarves.

Instructions

1. Gather all your scarves. If you don't had a designated storage space, they're likely to be scattered about.

2. Pare down your collection. Take this organizational endeavor as an opportunity to get rid of rarely worn and damaged pieces. This will simplify the process and prevent clutter in the future.

3. Evaluate your collection. Decide if your scarves are mainly delicate silk pieces or if they're made of heavier materials. This will determine how you will organize your scarves. Also think about how you wear the accessories to determine how neatly they need to be stored. If you want your scarves to stay wrinkle-free, neatly fold them. However if they're merely worn around the neck, in the hair or in another casual way, don't waste time folding and placing in a drawer.

4. Determine and then implement your method of storage. If you have a small scarf collection or want to achieve all-out organization, place neatly folded scarves in a drawer or storage container. If painstaking perfection isn't a concern, place an untidy assortment of scarves in drawers and storage bins. To save space, install a wall-mounted bag dispenser, and fill it with scarves. The opening allows for easy acess and these devices will hold a lot if scarves.

5. Tie a yellow ribbon, or scarf in this case, around the old bedpost, door knobs or create a clever wall display out of colorful pieces. Scarves serves as wonderful decorative accents, so before you store them away and put them out of sight, consider decorating with them. This will keep them more visible and in a designated spot, and at the same time, dress up a bland room.
