How do you store your ties?

[Prince of Paisley]

I agree with the above about the merits of rolling, but the BIG disadvantage is the space it takes up, which is especially important if you're a confirmed clothes horse.

Personally I'd rather let two hanging tie racks, taking about 4 inches of closet space, do the job of a 5-shelf tie pantry like Nexus', nice as it looks!

I must be doing something wrong, but whenever I leave my ties rolled up for longer than a day or so, they get incredibly curled and resistant to hanging flat/straight when I unroll them. I may be rolling them too tightly, but this happens even when I roll them as loosely as I think can be done without unravelling the roll.

Nowadays I'll roll my ties up for 24 hours or so after wearing them, then hang them up. I've never had any problems with hanging ties, but I have had problems with leaving ties rolled for too long.

I fold them into forth, then roll them, they don't curl at all.

I have 8 hanging tie racks, one large tie rack (wall mounted), and several ties rolled up in boxes.

Thank you 187.

Just for clarity,
I respect everyones personal method of storage.

I have done the tie racks in the past.
The problem (for me) is that I had to fiddle too much afterwards putting them all back,
so I got myself a used shelving unit.
For me, regardless of the real estate used in my room, I prefer this.
It is 100x faster to grab a tie, or put one back.
I fold the tie once, then roll. Never had a problem yet with after effects of rolling,
as long as they are not rolled tight.

I would like to see photos of how others are storing their ties.
It's not a competition, but would enrich everyone to see more photos
of how we all store our clothes..

I have a rotating ahnger, two actuall that hold the first 120 and the rest I have on a wooden rack.

I have one of those hanger-things with plastic clips -- I use it by taking the tie off the front clip (unless it would be too gross with my chosen shirt for the day) and return it to the back at the end of the day so as to create a rotation.

i simply fold them in half and lay them flat and overlapping in a drawer. That way i can tell the width and pattern by looking at them. I have maybe 30 in a drawer. I dont feel i need as many as the majority of the posters on this board however.

I have 5 of these in a room that Lady C and I converted to a closet, 4 hold ties and 1 holds squares, in the 100cm size each hold 24 ties I believe: www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/60103383

I shall try to remember to post a photo tonight.

I want to switch to a handful of horizontal bar/rods screwed to the side of the closet - anyone know where I could buy these? Like towel bars but shorter - likely wood too.

How about something like these?
