4 Jewelry Organization Ideas
One of the The Container Store's most popular closet organization categories is storage solutions for jewelry collections. Whether you have a big or small space, here are a few jewelry storage ideas for keeping all your brooches and baubles neatly organized.
- Keep Items in Sight
Start by sorting your pieces of jewelry according to the type of jewelry and how often you wear them. Then, start with the everyday pieces. To help speed up your morning routine, store jewelry in such a way that gives you easy access to your most commonly worn necklaces, earrings, and favorite jewelry pieces. If you have enough room on your tabletop, you can create a jewelry display or jewelry stand that matches your home decor. Other jewelry storage solutions, such as countertop jewelry boxes, jewelry trays, and hanging organizers, are also smart options. Special occasion pieces can be stored elsewhere in a special jewelry case or jewelry cabinet so they remain protected from dust and tarnish. - How to Store Necklaces
It's best to store your favorite pieces individually so that they don't get tangled (this will also help you spot the one you're looking for more easily.) If your closet is large enough, consider hanging them from a freestanding jewelry holder perched on a shelf or closet island. You can also hang them on a small wall-mounted peg rack. - How to Store Bracelets and Bangles
Because they don't tangle as easily as necklaces, you can choose to hang bracelets, bangles, and trinkets from countertop organizers, or compartmentalize them in stackable drawer organizer inserts. We also offer hanging jewelry organizers that fit neatly next to the hangers in your closet. And our custom closet solutions like Elfa, Avera, and Preston offer specialized jewelry drawers and dividers as well. - How to Store Earrings
You definitely want to keep earrings stored in their own compartments, either in a drawer or an earring organizer that hangs from a hook or closet rod. Dangly earrings are best stored in a way that allows them to hang freely. Keep a stash of extra earring backs close by for emergencies.
