Most people have a pretty good sense of the best way to store their clothes -- and if they don’t, there are dozens of websites and blogs to help them create an effective system for closet organizing. However, stowing and displaying accessories often poses a greater challenge. From jewelry to handbags, protecting accessories tend to require a little more care and attention. Here are some of Closet World’s top tips for keeping jewelry and other pieces in good condition for years to come.
Start by Taking an Inventory
Before beginning the process of organizing your accessories, it’s a good idea to take a look at your collection. Search through your jewelry, handbags, scarves, and belts and decide whether there are pieces you want to toss or donate. While taking inventory, you might also find pieces in need of repair or cleaning, so don’t hesitate to bring watches and other jewelry to a trusted shop for service.
Find a Dry Spot for Jewelry
Speaking of jewelry, it’s important to store your beloved pieces in the right location. In particular, watches can be vulnerable to moisture, so aim to stow your Rolex or Omega in a spot that’s cool and dry. In fact, some people opt to keep luxury watches in a cigar humidor! If that’s not your style, consider storing them in a leather or wooden box in one of your bureau drawers.
Use Baskets for Scarves and Belts
Do you have a large collection of scarves? If so it can be hard to display them in a way that lets you find what you need fast. One of the best ways to stow colorful scarves is by rolling or folding them and then placing them in a decorative basket. This is a great way of organizing your closet while adding a little brightness and whimsy to this part of the home.
Display Handbags in Style
If you’re a fan of designer handbags, then the odds are you want to display these pieces in style. To show off the bags you spent years collecting, considering installing a cubby system in your closet. That way each bag has a specific place to go when you aren’t using it. You can also store bags on a shelf or even opt for a bookcase with adjustable shelving. Want to give your most valuable purses a little extra protection? Consider keeping them in dust bags to ensure they stay in pristine condition for years to come.
