How to make the most of your whimsical bags

Whimsical accessories (bags in particular) are a perfect option if you want to look stylish and chic at the same time. Garments with too-fancy styles can be quite difficult to match in a faultless way. Conversely, accessories allow you to have fun with whimsical colors and designs in a totally safe way as they can easily be used to dress up your baseline staples. A popping bag can liven up a monochromatic, dark ensemble, and the same goes for accessories in some fancy designs.

These pieces can also be purchased in budget-friendly stores, and for this reason, they are one of the most easy-to-purchase items for most of us.

Though, some doubt may arise when it comes to storing all of your fancy bags.

As we don’t carry them on a daily basis, they frequently end relegated to the bottom of our closet only to wind up being forgotten—even though they might be just the thing we’re looking for a special evening.

.

Also, if you didn’t properly store them, they can easily be damaged – which means that when you can find your missing bag, you only end up with a slouchy item that is only suitable for the bin.

Here is where some interior design tricks can help.

Surprisingly enough, a safe and incredibly useful way to store part of your whimsical bags is not storing them at all, leaving them in plain sight as if they were “fashion artworks.”

You don’t need to own expensive designer bags to do this. Any whimsical 20-dollars handbag will do the job.

Instead of spending an entire day looking for that evening clutch that you don’t often use, next time just put it on your coffee table. It will become part of your furniture – a unique item that will add personality to your home.

.

Not only you’ll find it immediately, but you’ll also benefit of another extra perk, as having your whimsical items in plain sight may be surprisingly inspiring. This will allow using your “portable artwork” more frequently, adding a boost of energy to some ordinary outfit.

This trick is very simple to put into practice, and it really works.

For years, I’ve kept one of my most whimsical bags just behind all my everyday items. And, of course, I never used it (even if it was one of the most well-made bags I own). When I decided to put in on display, I immediately started using it in endless combinations, with amazing results indeed!

.

It goes without saying that, if you own an incredible number of whimsical handbags, you can’t do this with all of them.

Though, consider that your storage spaces can further be expanded by extra shelves placed in a hidden position (behind a door, for example). A small shelving unit will allow you to lay out a good amount of bags, and maybe even a few pairs of shoes—and if you decide to display the most stylish and fanciful bags you own, the shelves can also be positioned in plain sight.

.

You can also make use of this technique for other accessories: hats and costume jewelry, for instance, are always so nice to see around – and if you lay some metal necklace just under a table light, this will add bright, cozy reflections to your home.

This way, not only you will immediately find your favorite pieces, but you will have an extra tool to make the most of your style – and to make the most of your spaces as well!
