If you have some bags and don’t know how to store them properly, or you have a whole collection that you wanna not only store but also display, we’ve gathered the smartest ideas to inspire you! Let’s find out how to store your handbags in a closet or a bedroom, or wherever else you usually get dressed.
Wardrobes
Not the most popular, still the most practical idea is a wardrobe, and here I’d advise not a basic but a glass door one. Such a wardrobe can store a lot of things, it will look very lightweight and you will always see them, if that’s not enough, you can add lights inside. One of the main perks of such storage (to my mind) is that minimal dusting is involved here, and one more is that bags don’t get influenced by humidity if any and are less influenced by sunlight.

Open Shelves
Open shelves are the most frequently used solution for storing bags – just attach as many as you need wherever you like and voila! Box-shaped shelves are also a good idea, whether you put them on the floor or attach them to the wall. Shelves allow storing as many bags as you need, you can make them wide and take a whole wall from floor to ceiling. There are also quite sneaky pieces like IKEA Ribba shelf that is vertical and can take only a small corner while providing much storage space, or ledges that are suitable for smaller purses. One of the main disadvantages? Much work involved and quite enough dusting, besides, your bags can be harmed by UV rays or humidity unless you pack them in acrylic boxes.

Drawers And Baskets
If you don’t have big bags and don’t want to see them all the time, put them in baskets or drawers, it depends on where you have space and what matches the style of your closet more. It’s a practical idea for small purses but it won’t let you enjoy looking at them.

Railings, Hooks And Stands
One of the most functional solutions for a large bag collection is hanging them on hooks but make sure these hooks won’t harm the handles and the structure of the bag itself, I’d recommend it only for soft shape bags and totes. These hooks can be attached right to the wall or hung on a railing inside your wardrobe or just on railing somewhere in the room. A tiered trolley is a creative way to store your bags and you will be able to move it anytime. A couple of stands for bags will be enough for those who don’t have many purses, or for those who want to accent favorites. Get inspired to organize!
