Scarf lovers, you are in the right place! Here are the best ways to organize and store your collection of scarves, snag free, and super easily accessible. And, did you know, you can also organize your spaces according to your organizing style? You can find out what your organizing style is here.

Before organizing your scarves, you must purge the ones that you do not like and no longer use. Be ruthless and purge the excess so you can more easily store what you do need and use.

In my freebie library here, I include guides which help walk you through the organizing process and help you decide what to purge and keep. I also include my declutter and organizing challenge calendars and guides to help direct you through each area of your home. These guides ensure you get through every nook and cranny and finally get to the other side of clutter … an organized and functional space!

In this post, we focus on how to organize your scarves. Below, I share ideas on how to organize your scarves with different types of organizing solutions that will work for your organizing styles and spaces. I also share how to organize the rest of your accessories including belts and ties, hats, and jewelry.

Scarf Organization

Before you start organizing your scarves, I highly suggest editing your collection. You don’t want to purchase a bunch of organizing solutions to contain scarves you’re not going to wear. Here is how to properly organize what you do wear.

Towel Organizers

One my favorite ways to organize scarves is to use towel bars. You simply grab your scarf from the middle, loop the middle of the scarf over the rod, and loop your scarf through. Each of your scarves is then nicely displayed as easily accessible. Depending on how many scarves you have, you can utilize a single towel bar (found here):

or tiered towel bars installed on your wall (found here):

or hanging over your door (found here) (I actually used an over-the-door towel organize just like this when I used to wear scarves daily):

You can also use a free-standing towel rack if you don’t have wall or door space (found here):

A blanket ladder is a fun, decorative way to store and display your scarf collection (found here):

Hangers

There are a plethora of scarf hanger options available these days. However, before you purchase just any scarf hanger, there are a few things to keep in mind regarding what types work best.

For quick and easy access to each scarf, a single scarf hanger with an open side is a great organizing solution. There are plenty of single scarf hangers that are a complete circle. That is fine to use especially if you use the hanging method I shared above regarding using towel bars. However, if you find that it is too cumbersome for you to loop each scarf, a scarf hanger with an open side will work better for you as you just need to simply hook your scarf on and off without having to thread it through (found here):

A space-saving scarf hanger option is to utilize a cascading hanger that drops down to take up the space of only one hanger while storing five scarves (found here):

This style scarf hanger below has become quite popular. There are so many different styles of this available that have a few to several circles to loop through. They also are available in different materials. Regarding the number of circles to loop through, I recommend utilizing a scarf hanger that has no more than two rows. You can use the looping method I shared for towel rods above to loop your scarves over the top of the top row and through the bottom of the bottom row. That way, your scarves are less likely to unthread from the other circles when being removed. When there are more than two rows available, it can become quite cumbersome trying to remove individual scarves. Regarding the material, I recommend a snag-free material like this slick chrome hanger (found here):

Decorative Storage Solutions

Your super special scarves deserve to be displayed. You hang a decorative hanger like this one on a beautiful wood hook to display your favorite scarves (found here):

You can also hook your scarves over a decorative over-the-door hook rack making them easily accessible before leaving your room or home depending on where you install this (found here):

To customize your scarf storage and display, you can use beautiful, individual knob hooks on your wall (found here):

Folded Storage Solutions

If you prefer to fold or roll your scarves, here are the best ways to keep them neatly contained and easily accessible.

Individual scarves can be easily visible at a glance when rolled up and stored in a door shoe organizer (found here):

For scarves of varying sizes that may not all fit in a door shoe organizer like the one above, you can utilize a storage solution like this where each scarf is rolled and stored vertically as the windows allow you to see each scarf at a glance (found here):

To store your scarves within drawers, drawer organizers help to contain folded and rolled scarves so they stay in place. Instead of piling scarves on top of each other, I recommend filing them so they are each visible at a glance upon opening your drawer (found here):

To contain scarves on shelves, you can fold or roll them and file them into bins like these (found here):

To store out-of-season scarves, you can fold or roll them and store them in lidded containers like these ones below. The windows make it easy to recognize what scarves are in each so then you need to switch from your ligthweight to your heavier scarves, you can find them in a glance (found here):
