Writer's Block: Decision Time/hivemind: fabric storage

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Hi there ;)

D. has long lamented on the aesthetics (or lack thereof) of my fabric/garb storage.

This consists of 4-5 large (2 ft/1 yard cubed; the garb is in a long plastic trunk) boxes. Brown cardboard and large grayish Tupperware tubs. Without the common decency to be in the unfinished part of the basement (yes, they're in what could be considered a social/common area).

I am looking into possible solutions. What I require:

• Large - these peewee things look great but can't hold more than a couple of yards each
  
  
• Opaque - light can damage some fibers.
  
  
• Nice looking - not cardboard. Not giant Tupperware or other cheap plastic (though better quality I'll consider).
  

What I'm considering:

• Stuff that doubles as furniture
- again, if it's big enough (lamentably, this is not).


• Actual furniture (chest of drawers? Trunks?)
  
  
• Cloth bags/cubes
  

In an ideal world I'd have a single large wardrobe with inner shelves and doors, but we'd like to move sometime in the near future and don't want to have to move something that big and heavy.

What I'm asking from y'all is: for or against any of the above; your own personal solutions; and/or anything I've not thought of yet.

And yes, I've heard of Dream Sewing Spaces and might get it if I'm really flailing for ideas, but I'm also trying not to buy books right now - they're a whole separate storage issue :P
