Help - how do you store your scarves?

Mine (lots) are neatly folded and stacked on a shelf, in the corner cupboard at the end of my fitted wardrobe. I love them and have about three different YouTube videos of ways to wear them!

I hang some on clothes hangers in the wardrobe; have some coat hooks behind the door in the bedroom where my handbags go so some scarves join them. The rest are hanging with my coats and hats in the hall. Anything cashmere goes in a box so the moths can't get them. I own far too many and probably [as with clothes] only actually wear about 1% of them, but I think they look nice in the hall.

I have one of the scarf hangers-it actually doesn't take up too much space in the wardrobe if you use it for thinner/finer scarves. My chunky ones I keep in a box on hall cupboard shelf.

I bought a scarf hanger. It works up to a point but they are quite bulky when all the scarves are on it. Trouble is I only ever use about four of them and really should steel myself to give the rest to charity.

Tbh Indinana it's probably more but I'm too embarrassed to count! grin I've looked at these Lakeland hangers but I think the scarves are going to get all bunched up and take up a large wodge of hanging space.

I have a little glove cabinet in the hall and except for the big wintery ones they are all in there.

Only 20? grin. I have a large drawer purely for my scarf collection, which isn't ideal because they can get crumpled. The majority of my scarves, though, do not crease and can stand up to all sorts of abuse, but I do have 2 or 3 that I have to iron every time I want to wear them. These are scarves that have been bought for me as presents (clearly by people who don't understand scarves grin)

Admittedly I do have a bit of a scarf obsession - around 20? But I've got to the stage now where they're all bunched up in the top of my wardrobe. Or hidden under my coats in the entrance hall. So, I need some ideas on the best way of storing them - to minimise bunching so I can actually see what I've got. What do you do? Please tell me I'm not alone! grin
