I have my larger rulers hung on my peg board using a belt hanger - it's a metal circle with a capped opening to slide them on to it. Then for my smaller rulers, I used a sloted polished board I found at Goodwill - intended for dishware display in cabinets. These are then stored on my cutting table to make them handy.
One of my friends uses a file folder stand for rulers and Go Cutter dies.

Since I am a visual kind of gal, it's most helpful to me if I can see my rulers. I have quite a few in a variety of sizes, so this is my solution. Now I can see them all and access any and all of them quickly. :-)
For the smallest ones, they are in the basket on my cutting table, center back. My small and medium square rulers are in my wooden ruler rack to the left of my cutting table. My long rectangular ones are hung in front of my cutting table, easy to get to.
Finally, the larger ones are on the wall behind my cutting table, hanging by 3M Command Hooks, so there are no nail holes in the wall. This tip came from a very dear friend of mine, and I'm so grateful for her idea.
