    I got the idea from another member here on QB. But I've started to use cd-storage furniture. These ones are IKEAs (Benno) that I've found used online for a fair price.

    I have the Antonius system from IKEA. I put 2 together, one on top of the other, in my closet. I have another under my embroidery machine table.

    Not sure if they still have the Antonius, but they have something like it. Wire baskets, so I can see what is in the drawers - drawers that pull out easily - no rusting.

    Most of mine is in a china cabinet. I love it. It stays clean and it is easy to find what I need. I bought a dresser to use as my big ironing board. My fat quarters kits are store there.

    I do a mix of totes and stacks in my closet and sort by color. Larger backing fabrics are kept in a dresser.

    A lot of good ideas here. I really like the china cabinet idea. I prefer something enclosing the fabric as opposed to being out in the open just because of dust, etc. A closet or armoire with shelves, plastic totes etc, are all good ideas.
    If you get a lot of sun in your sewing room I would suggest storage that is not see-thru so your fabric doesn't fade.

    My fabric(quilting and other) is wrapped around comic backer boards and on shelves. Smaller pieces and fat quarters are folded and in large but fairly flat plastic storage totes.

    I have had numerous storage options over the last 12 years. I have finally settled on wrapping my fabric on foam core boards and putting them on shelves.

    I use and old china cabinet and fold and stack the fabric in piles by color. Smaller pieces like fat quarters I have in lidded plastic boxes.
