8 Blanket Storage Ideas That Won't Mess With Your Aesthetic

During the winter months when it’s ice cold outside, all I want to do is bundle up indoors with a fuzzy, warm blanket wrapped around me as I binge-watch crappy Hallmark movies. In fact, this image has become so appealing to me in my best attempt to romanticize winter that I’ve ended up going a little overboard with my throw blanket purchases. Oops.

I live in a teensy tiny little apartment, so whenever I have these massive blankets just lying around, my place suddenly morphs into a chaotic pigsty. (The joys of living in New York City.)

Fortunately, there are several methods for storing these blankets in hidden and secure places without compromising the overall aesthetic you’ve established in your living area. Here are the best ways to store your blankets, so you can keep your place clean and pristine all year long.

Closet Blanket Hangers

Sometimes the best way to tidy up your living room is to invest in blanket hangers. These are carefully designed to be able to hold up the thickest of blankets, and the best part is that you can store them in your closet so they’re completely out of sight. No need for an extra dresser drawer here!

This is my go-to storage method during the spring and summer months, when hefty blankets are no longer needed. Since blankets add so much extra weight and space to your living area, investing in this vacuum-sealing storage bag is totally worth it.
