If you love jewelry, if you have a big collection with lots of pieces, organizing everything is essential as you will always have everything at hand and all the items will be stored safe. Most of us store jewelry in drawers and cabinets, and that’s for a reason: we declutter the space and make it minimal and sleek. Using a drawer also leave your tabletop space for other goals, and all your pieces are saved from wet air or sunlight, which is important for most of them. But how to organize a jewelry cabinet or a drawer to make it functional?
Jewelry Cabinets
If you are a happy owner of a big jewelry collection, think of getting a jewelry cabinet, for example, you can hack an IKEA Alex piece into such a cabinet. Add drawers, retractable trays to store your accessories, and if possible, go for built-ins inside drawers, too. You can also add jewelry hangers or hooks to the side of the drawer.

Jewelry Drawers
The simplest way to organize a jewelry drawer is to cover the bottom with some bold or dark velvet, so your accessories will stand out. Still, there are some other ideas that will help you organize such a drawer.
Built-Ins
If you can go for special built-ins inside your drawer, you might want to do that to store jewelry as such a solution looks sleek and chic and will keep your accessories where you need. This way you can customize the look and make as large compartments as you need, and such storage always elevates the look.
