The Easiest way to Organize Scarves

The Easiest way to Organize Scarves - Ask Anna

For years I stored my scarves in a basket in my closet, but I found that didn’t wear them as often because I’d always forget to grab one, until I was walking out the door, and then I was too lazy to run back to my room to get one.  So I decided that I needed to put my scarves near the front door so that I’d wear them more often.

We have a small entryway closet near our front door but there wasn’t enough room in the closet for my basket of scarves, so after searching Pinterest I came up with an inexpensive DIY scarf hanger and the easiest way to organize scarves to keep them close at hand.  The solution?  An inexpensive adjustable single curtain rod, like this one from Amazon.

My husband installed it for me on the back of the closet door and then I added all my scarves.  I found that the rod is also the perfect place to store my daughter’s umbrella when we aren’t using it.

Now my scarves (and Malea’s) are organized and easily accessible, I’m actually wearing one right now!  How do you keep your scarves organized?

    II keep mine folded in a drawer, but it’s hard to keep them neat especially when i get one from the bottom. I really like your idea.

    Great idea!! I hang my scarves on hanger. I can get 5 scarves on one hanger. Makes it easy for me when I’m getting dressed to grab one.

    cute idea! I keep my scarves on a 6 hook over the door “coat rack”. it works out perfect. I bought one of the nicer ones that is in the rubbed bronze finish with scroll hooks. (in their “off” season, I put the scarves in a bin in the top of my closet.
