How to store bags at home if you're short on space

A bag is a favorite women's accessory, which is sure to be present in the wardrobe in several versions. For work, leisure, for the evening, with a pink dress and a black coat - for every occasion there is the perfect accessory in the women's arsenal. Properly organizing storage space is not an easy task, but by solving it, you will preserve the appearance of the products and extend their service life. In addition, you can easily find exactly the model that will harmoniously complement your current image.

Options for storing bags at home

Before you start organizing a space for your favorite collection of accessories, decide which ones will be used frequently and which ones will not. Seasonal and evening accessories that are rarely used should be emptied and cleaned. Molded bags can become deformed if stored improperly, so it is advisable to fill the empty space in them with crumpled paper. Models decorated with rhinestones, sequins or embroidery require special attention.Before storing them for long-term storage, all parts and accessories must be wrapped in paper napkins.

There are many options for storing bags at home, the most common and popular of which are:

• closet;
• Walk-in closet;
• dresser;
• space under the bed.

Mezzanine shelves or lower compartments of cabinets are best for storing seasonal accessories. They can be used to store things that are rarely used, for example, only in winter.

When choosing a method and place for storage, you should remember that bags made of soft leather, both natural and artificial, should be stored in a position in which they will not wrinkle. Otherwise, creases may appear on the surface of the bags. The same rule applies to textile handbags. You should not press the bags tightly against each other, especially if they are decorated with various decorative elements (metal locks, chains, rhinestones, beads and other details).

Important! It is not advisable to store leather accessories in plastic bags. Air access is important for such products, so it is better to use special covers made of breathable material.

How to choose a place to store bags

Bags should be stored in a dry place, at room temperature, away from radiators and heaters. The chosen location should be protected from sunlight to prevent fading.

How to store bags in a closet

Bags can be arranged in a closet in several ways.

• Boxes and containers. Cardboard, textile or plastic boxes of different sizes are perfect for neat storage in a closet. They can be used to store both voluminous and miniature products.Boxes made of transparent material are especially convenient - you don’t have to look through all the boxes to find the right handbag.
• Shelves. If the closet is large, you can allocate a separate shelf for your favorite accessories. Special dividers or limiters for shelves will help you rationally use the available space and maintain order.
• Hanging pockets. A practical and convenient storage method that allows you to compactly place handbags in the closet and at the same time protect them from dust.
• Hanger for belts. Using this small accessory, you can fit several medium-sized bags in your closet. This option is suitable for those who have enough free space in the closet.
• Open organizer or basket. Small clutches and handbags can easily fit in a small basket if you place them vertically close to each other.
• Hooks. Ordinary furniture hooks made of plastic or metal are glued to the cabinet door. The distance between the hooks should be chosen depending on the size of the bags that you plan to place on them.
• Holders. You can also choose special retractable holders and hanging hooks for the cabinet. This is an excellent storage method, which, if selected correctly, is very convenient to use.

Important! The surface of soft leather handbags is easily damaged, so they must be protected from contact with things that could scratch them.

Storing bags in the dressing room

If you have a separate dressing room, there will be no problems with storing handbags. Here you can use all the methods described above. If your closet has several separate shelves for accessories, you can sort the accessories by size.

• Hanging organizer with compartments. Ideal for storing bags, briefcases and backpacks. Most often, such modules are made of fabric and come in different sizes, so you can easily choose the ideal option to suit your needs.
• Multi-level trunk organizer with hangers. Using this accessory, it is convenient to store handbags that you often carry. Such organizers are very convenient and save space in the closet. The number of levels and the sizes of pockets in them may be different.
• Hanger rack. A traditional coat rack can also be used to place handbags. Hang them by the straps on the hooks, but remember that as a result of prolonged storage, creases may appear on the straps.

Important! If you store handbags on open shelves, they need protection from dust. The ideal option is special covers made of thin, breathable material.

How to arrange a place to store bags if there is little space at home

The best way to store bags in a limited space is to fold them like a nesting doll with the handles facing out. This way the bags will take up very little space, and you can easily get the one you need if necessary. However, you should not use this storage method for models with a rigid shape - this can lead to deformation of the product.

If you don’t have room in your closet for your favorite accessories, you can place them in dresser drawers or under the bed. You can also use organizers here - they will help you neatly arrange your bags and protect them from creasing and damage.

Another storage method that is relevant for apartments with limited space is a special belt for bags that is attached to the door. This attribute will help you place about ten handbags, and they will always be freely available.However, if you plan to use this method for long-term storage, you need to provide your bags with additional dust protection.
