Ideas for Hanging Jewelry in a Room
If you have a large jewelry collection, finding adequate storage for it can be challenge. Jewelry boxes are a traditional option, but if they don't have an area for hanging storage, delicate necklaces and bracelets can easily become tangled. Hanging your jewelry allows you to keep it organized, but can also serve as attractive wall art depending on how you choose to hang it. There are a variety of options for hanging your jewelry, so you should be able to find an option that fits your needs and style. Does this Spark an idea?

Vinyl Jewelry Organizer
-
One of the easiest ways to hang jewelry in a room is to use a store-bought vinyl jewelry organizer. These organizers resemble a garment bag, but are divided into multiple pockets that have clear vinyl fronts so you can easily see what's inside. Such an organizer typically is equipped with a hook at its top, which allows you to hang it on the inside of your closet door or the back of your bedroom door. The sizes of the pockets vary, allowing you to store earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings and broaches all in one spot. However, long, thin necklaces often get tangled when stored in the small pockets, so you may want to find alternative storage for these types of items.
Coat Hooks
-
For necklaces that might become tangled or large, chunky-style necklaces and bracelets, coat hooks provide ideal hanging storage. You can purchase small wooden or plastic strips that contain several hooks and mount them to your wall. Necklaces and bracelets easily fit around the hooks, and will not become tangled since they can hang freely. This is an ideal jewelry storage option if you want to showcase your collection while organizing it at the same time.

Bulletin Board
-
Another hanging storage option that allows you to display your jewelry is a bulletin board. Find a decorative fabric bulletin board with a pattern or design that you like and hang it on your wall. Insert pushpins randomly across the board, and hang thin necklaces, bracelets and hoop earrings on the pins. You can make this jewelry organizer as decorative as you like; pushpins are available in a variety of colors and materials. You can even purchase pins in fun shapes to give your jewelry display added whimsy.
Framed Wire Mesh
-
If you like crafts or do-it-yourself projects, you can make a simple earring hanger for your wall yourself. Obtain a piece of wire mesh; consider the type of earrings that you plan to display when choosing the size of the gaps in the mesh, so that there is enough room to fit them. For example, post earrings typically require a smaller wire mesh pattern than fishhook earrings. Cut the mesh to fit a decorative picture frame, and nail its edges to the frame. If desired, you can spray paint the mesh to match the frame or other elements in your room. Hang the framed mesh on your wall and fill it with your favorite earrings for a fun, interesting piece of wall art.
