Closet Jewelry Organizer Ideas

Traditional Jewelry Storage and Organization 

When you think of traditional jewelry boxes, you probably think of countertop boxes, armoires, or soft velvet jewelry liners and pads. Others may even think of piles of jewelry gift boxes in a corner of their room. Traditional storage options for jewelry, according to the experts at thehomeedit.com, automatically dictate that your jewelry will be organized and sorted by type.

With designated built-in spots for rings, bracelets, earrings, and necklaces, there isn’t a need to organize any further. If you’re someone who typically wears the same jewelry every day, a traditional method may indeed be a solid option for you. It’s an effortless process to follow through with, and still sufficient enough to view and access your pieces. 

Armoires

A jewelry armoire is considered a traditional storage option that people often display like a piece of furniture. While there are various styles of armoires to choose from, typically the top part opens up to hold rings and earrings. The sides or part of the lower half has space to hang your necklaces.

The center or other lower half tends to have drawers perfectly lined to hold your bracelets or brooches. Armoires fit nicely within walk-in closets, as they can easily be flushed against the wall or even act as an accent piece in the center. 

Countertop Jewelry Boxes

A countertop jewelry box is another traditional storage method that is a shrunken-down version of a jewelry armoire. These can be effective in either a walk-in or reach-in closet. If you have a reach-in closet, there’s often a small shelf or area where a jewelry box could fit. The one downside to a countertop box is that you may run out of space quicker than you expect. 

Jewelry Drawers 

While not as traditional, utilizing built-in drawers in your closet and lining them with velvet or plush jewelry pads reflect the standard way of organizing pieces by type, according to the pros at Optimal Garage & Closets Inc. The outside would simply look like a drawer for anything & the inside would offer a very spacious area for all of the different pieces.

It’s also a nice and subtle way to organize your jewelry without having to fear a guest or burglar might take it and run. You can even use the drawers to store other items, aside from jewelry. To learn more, check out Reorganize Your Custom Closets Using These 7 Versatile Accessories.

Space-Saving Jewelry Storage and Organization 

To accommodate a smaller space in your closet, a wall-mounted jewelry holder or an over-the-door jewelry holder may prove to be the most effective. While these two options provide ample room for the organization of your jewelry, they will require you to organize it differently than you would for a traditional storage option.

If you choose a space-saving option, you need to take into account how many pieces of jewelry there’s room for. For this reason, you may have to organize your jewelry by occasion instead. Maybe only your everyday jewelry goes into the cabinet and your costume jewelry gets put elsewhere. Concurrently, not every wall-mounted or over-the-door jewelry storage has a cabinet or cover, which could potentially change the way you organize your pieces as well.

Wall and Over-The-Door Mounted Storage with Cabinet Doors

Whether you’re putting a jewelry cabinet on the wall or over the door, the front of the cabinet is normally a mirror and the opening is concealed. People who have company over frequently may feel more comfortable with this option because it doesn’t necessarily display your jewelry to anyone who passes by. Furthermore, the cabinet option allows you to view all of your jewelry at one time, rather than opening and closing different drawers and doors.

Wall and Over-The-Door Mounted Storage without Cabinet Doors

Some jewelry storage options that get mounted on the wall or hooked over the door do not have a cabinet door. While this may bother people who prefer privacy, other people may find this extremely helpful as they decide on an outfit. It allows you to glance at all options from afar (or near) as you simultaneously pick out which shirt, pants, or shoes you’re going to wear. 

Creative and DIY Jewelry Storage and Organization

Sometimes the perfect option may have to be one that you create. Creating custom jewelry storage will allow you to organize your pieces in more than one way. It also provides you with the opportunity to potentially save money. Cosmetic storage cases, desk organizers, or decorative trinket boxes can easily become jewelry boxes to organize however you see fit. 

Cosmetic Storage Cases

Cosmetic storage cases are a great DIY jewelry box for those who wish to organize pieces by color. Most cosmetic cases are clear, so you can easily see through to each color without having to label anything on the outside. 

Desk Organizers

If you’re organizing your jewelry based on favorite pieces or most worn pieces, a desk organizer is a good DIY option. Desk organizers are cute, compact, and fit perfectly on a makeup vanity or small shelf within either your walk-in or reach-in closet.

Decorative Trinket Boxes

If you prefer to organize your jewelry by sets, you can utilize decorative trinket boxes and display them as accent pieces within your closet. Follow this example from A Beautiful Mess to create your own.

Conclusion

Organizing your jewelry by type, occasion, color, or favorites, in either traditional, space-saving, or creative storage spaces will contribute to making your custom closet feel complete. Although it may be a tedious process, it's one that you can accomplish with a little time, effort, and creativity.
