14 Ways to Pull Your Scarves Out of Hiding and Put Them on Display

Updated on Nov 7, 2014 at 9:00 AM

In true fashion-girl style, we think a lot more about how we're going to wear our scarves than where we're going to put them once we take them off. Can you blame us? After all, you probably think styling them over your blouses and tying them onto your handbags is way more fun — but that's where you're wrong.

After looking into it, we realized that draping and tying your scarves — and we don't mean around your neck — can actually get pretty creative. In fact, after glancing over all the tricks ahead, we bet you'll be inspired to hang yours up for all to see. And once you pull your silky kerchiefs and furry stoles out of hiding, we bet you'll come up with even more striking outfits than ever before. You can thank us later — you've got some rearranging to do. Source: Amber Interiors

Frame Them

If you've got a scarf you probably won't be wearing for awhile — either because it's special to you or a bit too busy — let it become instant art for your walls. Source: Ryann Colleen Photography via Style Me Pretty

This works just as well over your desk or vanity too!

Run Them Through a Multiuse Hanger

A hanger made up of hoops is a solid investment — you can use it for your belts, headbands, and gloves, too!

Use the Prettiest Ones to Create Mood Lighting

Aim For Breezy Bohemian Vibes

Tape one up to the wall and let the music play — easy enough.

Use Shower Curtain Rings

Attach shower curtain rings to a larger hanger and put each scarf on a ring. This way they won't get tangled and you can quickly pull one out as you head out the door. Photo: Leah Rocketto

Throw Them Onto a Hanger

Once you pile all your scarves onto a single hanger, they might appear to be one big mishmash of color, but it'll be supereasy to pull each design on and off, and it's a colorful addition to any closet. If you don't want to invest in a scarf hanger, try using one designated for pants or ties instead.

DIY a New Headboard

We could hardly believe this headboard is actually just a printed oversize scarf pulled tightly around the cushion.

Weave Them Through Your Clothes

Let your scarves act as dividers to separate sections of your closet — whether you decide to distinguish by color or style, you'll feel a lot more organized.

Make Outfits With Them

If you don't want to forget to accessorize, style your scarves with the clothes that go with them, and you'll be all the more inspired to shrug your way into your planned outfit.

Hang Them on a Wooden Ladder

Your room will feel a bit more rustic when you mount a wooden ladder on the wall and spruce it up with a little color.

Use a Mannequin

Tie the scarf you wear most onto a vintage body form. You can add jewelry and work outfits underneath, too, but your scarf will be superaccessible when you're ready to go out.

Clip Them With Clothespins

Loop Them Around a Dowel

If you've got some extra space, fill it in with a colorful curtain of your favorite scarves.

Substitute Your Coats With Them

Your coatrack will look totally gorgeous once made over with a carousel of infinity scarves.
