So I thought I would share my scarf storage solution here. I have been looking for a chest of drawers not too deep and not too shallow. I also wanted something that could house my collection for the rest of my entire life. I didn’t want to run out of capacity somewhere in my mid 50’s lol. And the insides of the drawers had to be a material that are silk & cashmere friendly and not snag or discolor my scarves.
Here’s what I finally decided on. A chest of drawers by Poltrona Frau called Piu Notte. It’s 48” wide and about 21” deep. The height of the entire chest is 30” high but each drawer is about 4.5” high which I think is about ideal to lay out scarves like they do at the boutique. The insides of the drawers are lined in linen and the drawers “soft close” so scarves don’t slide to the back. I have about 60-70 scarves/shawls and so far, only 1.5 drawers are filled and they are not stuffed. So by my estimation, I could prolly go to about 200 scarves (if needed) with this chest. Hopefully that will be my lifetime max lol.
You can choose from many different leather colors for the exterior. I chickened out and went with a light grey instead of something wild like purple or teal.
