I recommend that you alternate these separators with baskets of various sizes that allow you to be organized and handy accessories and small accessories. For scarves and shawls, the best option are the hangers that come with holes and hang.
If you have a dresser inside the closet with drawers, organizers put into selling designed to sort socks, stockings and underwear.
