Bags of bags

It's always a good sign in a relationship when your significant other steps into your room (once you've stopped pretending you're a neat freak to impress them) and manages to swallow down the exclamation of alarm at all of your stuff covering every available surface. Just me? OK then. Now I have lots of bags. Seriously. As in well over 70 at the last count. They're currently stuck on a retail rack I got at IKEA but I've been looking at a couple of different ways to store them once we move. The boyfriend is a big fan of everything being off the floor (fair enough) and I can't pretend it wouldn't be nice to be able to find the bag I want in less than fifteen minutes so votes for the best one of the below would be greatly appreciated:

This "over the door" storage is tidy enough but I'm worried that a) the weight of the bags would pull the door off the hinges and b) Target don't ship to the UK.


This option isn't exactly efficient in the way that it uses space but it looks pretty and wouldn't be too expensive...


This is currently my favourite idea. I would fit a rail onto one of the walls and use "S" hooks so that I could take each bag off individually.


Jill Roberson's take on how to store handbags and shoes is interesting - although I'd be worried that they'd get damp in the bathroom.

It's easy to get carried away here. What started as a search for handbag storage has led me to wonder if two people sharing a house really NEED a guest room? Surely the extra room would be far better used in one of the following ways...note to the Boyfriend...if we had one of these, I promise I'd keep it tidy!
