My hubby put a pipe along the ceiling across in the back of my cutting table and I hang up all my rulers.I also use a shoe organizer with lots of pockets and put all my scissors and rotary cutter in. So everything is out of the way.

Right now the rulers, cutting mat and rotary cutters are all on a bookshelf (36" wide). My sweet, sweet Hubby is framing a 4' x 4' peg board for me. I will hang it over my folding cutting table.
If I want a project done around the house, I just start it and "Mr. Man" will finish it.
All I had to do was take him to Home Depot and ask his opinion! He does the rest!

I have one of those magazine rack things. It has three sections so all my rulers, plus a notebook, and a pad of graph paper all fit in it easily. It sits on a side table next to my cutting table. Works well for me.

I cleaned up my quilt room recently and decided I didn't like the rulers on their sides method... takes up too much room! My solution turned out to be a sturdy cardboard box about 16" square and 2' tall and I put my vellum tablets, long rulers, shorter extra quilt hanging rods, quilt-line templates, etc., etc. in there. Even though it's pretty full, I can see what I want w/o digging.
My specialty rulers, along with small templates I've made are in my old dresser (so many of us have one!), my cutting boards are underneath the dresser along with huge chart papers (my sons engineering firm went for electronic only and I got a pack of their old paper!).

I use 2 of the ruler racks that are about 18" long. They are on top of one of my lower bookcases where they are easy to get to and see. I forget how much I paid for them. I think about $20 each, but they solved my storage problem.
