Organizing Dresser Drawers
These strategies will help you organize your dresser drawers.

Accessories Drawer: Line shallow top drawers with velvet (use archival glue to back the velvet with poster board). This will provide plush support for delicate items such as scarves and jewelry. Martha likes to use small aluminum containers to store notions.

Sweater Drawer: Use a deep drawer for sweaters -- never hang knits -- and place cedar blocks inside to fend off moths.

Knitwear, Stockings, and T-shirts: Create removable compartments that fit your clothes (placing small boxes inside drawers for items such as underwear and socks), and make the fewest folds possible in order to reduce creasing. Line drawers with acid-free tissue paper.

Pants Drawer: Save a drawer for khakis and jeans. Acid-free paper will protect them from splinters and acids in the wood.
