Jewelery boxes are so yesterday. Why hide your baubles away where no one can see them when you could be displaying them in all their glory? Here are some great options that will help you keep your treasures organized in a super stylish way.
The Retrofitted Bulletin Board
Bulletin boards are inexpensive, easy to find, and, as it turns out, great for jewellery organization. If you’re into a more industrial look, pick up a basic cork board at a local office supply store and leave it as is or paint the trim to suit your style. Want something a little more unique? Try sourcing a board from a thrift shop or antique fair. Once you’ve got the board, add some cool pushpins (Etsy has tons of options) and arrange them as you see fit. Use them to hang necklaces, bracelets, hooped earrings, and rings. Provided that they’re strong enough, you can even insert the post of stud earrings directly onto the board’s surface. You can switch up the placement of your pieces as often as you’d like and revel in the fact that you’ll never have to worry about tangled chains again.
The Style Statement
If you’d like to make a stylish statement and keep your jewellery organized at the same time, a piece like the Manzanita Wall Jewellery Branch might be exactly what you’re looking for. Sort of like a functional sculpture, the branch can be mounted or propped up and serves as an excellent place to arrange your accessories. This would be an excellent option if surface space is at a premium or you want to avoid tabletop clutter. The fact that it looks so awesome just sweetens the deal.
The Museum-Worthy Display
Carefully curated jewellery collections deserve to be showcased and what better way to do this than in a delicately crafted glass pyramid? This option is function and incredibly beautiful. Just imagine how gorgeous it would look on your bedside table or dresser. Since the pyramid is on the smaller side, you may not be able to use it to contain your entire inventory but it does serve as an excellent way to show off the pieces in your current rotation.
The Repurposed Tea Service
Not sure what to do with the tea service you inherited? Repurpose it as a jewellery storage system! Use teacups to keep rings and other small pieces and keep bracelets and necklaces on accompanying saucers. A pretty set can liven up a bathroom sink and you won’t have to worry about dropping anything down the drain- total win win situation. The fact that you’re actually using your grandmother’s treasures instead of letting them collect dust is pretty sweet too.
The Vintage Type Drawer
Industrial advances have rendered the printing press obsolete, much to the chagrin of Johannes Gutenberg. While we may no longer need to organize metal type pieces, the wooden drawers used for that very purpose are still readily available (if you know here to look) and just begging to be used as an exceptionally efficient jewellery box. Browse your local antique fair or check online and prepare to be impressed at how perfectly suited the drawers are for all of your storage needs. Individual compartments mean that knotted necklaces are a thing of the past and if you’re feeling especially crafty, you can screw in small hooks to elevate your organization to a whole new level.
The Industrial Chic Pegboard
Generally considered garage and workshop fixtures, pegboards are an excellent way to keep tools of all shapes and sizes organized and easily accessed. Now just swap out hammers and wrenches for bangles and statement necklaces and you’ve got yourself one heck of a jewellery organization piece! They’re inexpensive, super easy to find, and can be incorporated into just about any room with a fresh coat of paint…what more could you ask for?
