Accessories, I love thee! But without some appropriate storage methods, it can be very easy for treasured pieces to resemble, well, uh, that lovely pile of jewellery you can see to your right: CHAOTIC MESS. But fear not! With just a few simple steps, you can turn your clutter into organised BLISS. Yes, you can. The good news? It isn't expensive, either!

My favourite storage solutions?

x Love your collection of brooches and badges? Don't keep them hidden away! Grab a simple cushion and pin your bits and bobs to them - that way, you can have them all on display, and you'll always be able to see what you have! (Added bonus? It looks preeeeeeeeeetty.)

x Visit the supermarket and check out the sewing section - or, alternatively, visit your local craft or hardware store. They're both stocked with these hugely nifty plastic containers, which are perfect for storing jewellery. Designed to house buttons, sewing needles, nails and other little bits of crafting and hardware paraphernalia, they're excellent as they're cheap, have dividers (so you can store all your rings, necklaces and bracelets in separate compartments - no more tangling!) and are see-through, so with just a quick glance, you can see exactly what you have. Fabulous.

x Got a stash of earrings? Buy a corkboard, cover it in an incredible sheet of fabric, and stick your earrings onto it. It looks mega arty with minimal effort, and can really help to brighten up a wall or dresser.

x For hairclips, bows, ribbons and ties, I like to store them all in a big glass jar. Headbands? I keep them in a plastic storage container with a lid - you can find these in supermarkets, hardware and storage stores, and while I like to keep a small pile of plastic containers stacked on top of each other in the bottom of my closet, you can also buy the variety that slide right underneath your bed - supremely efficient.

x Limited closet space? You may just jump for joy at the sight of these clever hooks! They hang over the back of your door, so you don't need to install anything, or even buy any extra parts - all you need to do is get thy self to a homewares or storage store. They're ideal for storing belts, handbags and scarves.

x If I wasn't already in a relationship, I would seriously be trying to forge one with Ebay. Look at these creations! Racks for your bangles and rings, earring and necklace trees, and the most ingenious selection of holders. Delightful!

What are some of the best storage solutions that you've ever implemented, or would like to introduce to your wardrobe? (Because really, it's always fun to dream..)
