Home Inspiration: scarf storage solution

Home Inspiration: My Scarf Storage Solution

With the cooler weather creeping up on us in the mornings here in Brisbane, I have been delighted to break out a few of my favourite scarves to wear for the school drop off run. In doing so I thought some of you might like to see my storage solution of how I store my scarves. I don't have a massive collection of scarves but I do have a few favourites that quickly out grew my small container I used to keep them in. 

I basically use 2 products to store my scarves. The first one is an over the door hanger that I picked up in Ikea. I can't remember how much it cost but I know it was not that expensive to purchase. It has six hooks but I only really use one of them to store my scarves. 


I store my scarves on the back of the door to my walk in wardrobe. I am going to show you on the outside of the door how I store them as it is too dark and cramped in my wardrobe to take proper pictures. So first of all I hang up the door hanger over the back of the door.


The second item I use is another hanger I picked up from Ikea. I love this as it is simple and light weight. It has a lot of holes to hang up scarves with and suits me wonderfully.


So the next step I take is to hang the light weight hanger on one of the hooks on the over the door hanger. This allows it to sit nicely on the back of the door and is a good use of unused space in my walk in robe.

Then I simply start to thread my scarves through the holes in the light weight hanger. You can add as many as you want and space them out how you want. I tend to spread mine out a little so it makes it easier to see what scarves I own and then I am not tempted to buy more scarves and fill up every hole!


When I have finished adding all of my favourite scarves, I have a scarf storage solution that sits nicely behind my door and is visually easy for me to see what scarf I want to wear. I also like to keep my scarves in my walk in robe so that when I am getting dressed I can quickly and easily pick out a scarf to wear that will match my outfit. 

You can also use the extra hooks to hand up handbags, necklaces or any other accessories that you love to wear with your outfits. I have an extra spot for my handbags and one day I will get around to showing you that storage solution as well. 

Hope you enjoyed having a look.

  2. I love this idea (I still haven't made it to IKEA yet). All mine I have kept in a box, and the ones I like on my hat stand, however your idea is fantastic. I might have to borrow this idea ~ when I get to IKEA!
