Great idea, I would rotate and display my scarf by different seasons, take out the ones for the current season and keep rests in drawers. When I had my dressing room built, I had different sizes of cubes made for the flexibility....

Lovely chest, you never know when antiques will turn up. I'd love an older piece as most of our furniture is old but it so hard to find the right thing.
Finding stuff is coming back onto the market but you have to be right there.
Many years ago I gave my DH a new dressing room for his birthday. He had a fruitwood dresser from when he was very small. I found a furniture maker who built individual pieces to go with it out of old wood but with modern fittings.
Somehow never got around to doing my own closet. Thinking the Muji drawers would eventually end up insider an old wardrobe with a rail to one side for hanging shawls.
Frou frou, I am LOLing at your post. I am lazy too. Sometimes I'm too lazy even to open the silk drawers to go through the stacks and decide what to wear. I just look at a picture file on my computer of all my scarves. I might have too many.....:lolots::lolots::lolots:
Nice pic of the IKEA box
I went to IKEA by bike, without a scarf. But I see myself sneaking in some next time to see how well I can use the drawers. Especially since I do not know the exact inner dimensions of the drawers. Neither do I know where to put that chest.
With growing collection come growing storage challenges. "First world problems..."
I prefer folded over like at the store, easier to pull out.
At the moment I am using these, but the drawers are kind of hard to pull out:

IKEA is a great place. I have some of their open shelves but never looked at their drawers. These look so great!
I am trying to use my scarves..rather than just buy them. So I need them to be accessible and ideally, visible.
Thank you Marietouchet. I have about 50 scarves. I go back and forth; storing them in the boxes or in clear sleeves. The latter is more user friendly as I can see what I have. I do like the flat drawer idea.
Tokamaka I admire your discipline! Do you keep the boxes? Would you post a picture of your scarf cubes, please?
I'm going to copy your computer file idea , so much less energetic than opening the boxes
I have the worst storage in the world , 2 per box and the boxes stacked inside a deep drawer .
Best possible storage and it's meant for silks, no improvement possible. Would so love one of these too.
Great collection!
Great collection!
I could make my home in your mousseline drawer...
I'll bring my red Turandot with me
I am swooning over your collection and your storage.
Thank you dear silkies. You are all so kind. Now I might have to get another tansu just for regular clothes
froufrou, come visit me with Red Turandot anytime.
Thank you so much for posting this item!! I've been needing to find a better way to arrange my scarves and shawls! think I will have to go check it out at my local Ikea store. Have you seen it in person?
