I love scarves, but for a long time, I struggled with a way to store them. As Mr Snake will tell you, I’m not the sort of person who likes to tidy things away in drawers. So I used to just leave my scarves everywhere… on radiators, on the dining table, on the sofa… It was hardly surprising that I always found it difficult to lay hands on the scarf I wanted, which was especially frustrating given that I usually had to be somewhere in a hurry. Then I hit on this solution (below): a curtain of scarves. Take a window, one curtain rail, some curtain rings and some round, smooth items to attach to the curtain rings to allow you to thread the scarves through each one. Thin plastic bangles are ideal.

One caveat though: the window shouldn’t be too sunny, otherwise your scarves will fade. Heck, there’s no need for an actual window – the scarf “curtain” is actually a cool way to brighten up a dull, windowless wall.
