Features of belt storage

Belts should not be twisted or twisted tightly, so as not to look frayed in the chosen set. Putting them in small boxes next to other accessories means quickly become unusable.

For people who prefer order in their closet, several convenient storage schemes are offered. Each method is good in its own way and maximally protects accessories from damage.

In the closet

This option is the most budget-friendly; you can create the organizer yourself in just a few minutes.

The advantage of this storage method is the mobility of the organizer. It is easy to rearrange for cleaning, for example. Also, thanks to the open type of the box, all accessories are perfectly visible.

One of the downsides is the length of time it takes to roll up the belt. To put it in a cell, you have to carefully roll it up. It takes time. Another disadvantage of such storage is considered possibility of damage to things made from artificial materials. They cannot be kept rolled up.

On retractable brackets

The storage option is very convenient. The belts are placed unfolded and feel great in the wardrobe.In addition, there are reversible models on sale. When pulling the bracket out of the cabinet, turn it across to see all the contents.

On hangers

Previously, belts were stored on ordinary “hangers”, but this arrangement is inconvenient, since belts get lost between other clothes and accessories. In addition, on regular hangers the straps bend and often break, which is unpleasant.

There are several options for special “hangers” for belts on sale:

• Double-sided (hooks are attached to both sides of the bar, which allows you to place more accessories on them).
• Single-sided (hooks are located on one side only).
• Compact (they are a hanger without a rod, several hooks for belts are attached directly to the holder in a circle).
• Rings (they are made of plastic and metal, attached to a rod in the closet, and one accessory is hung on each hook).

The last option is very convenient because you can buy as many hooks as there are belts. On the other hand, such a storage system takes up more space in the closet. You decide.

On hooks

This is one of the most convenient ways to store belts. They are mounted on any suitable surface inside or outside the cabinet. Some modern interiors can use this nuance as room decor. It all depends on the imagination of the owners of the room.

In hardware stores you can find special rods made of metal, plastic or wood, with hooks already attached to them. There are special rods for belts and belts. They are attached to a vertical surface. Installation will not take much time: just a few minutes.
