Fabric Storage Ideas

Well, I’m mostly moved into my new house.
Most of the walls are painted – we’re still living with tottering stacks of boxes – but that’s how moving goes!

I’m still trying to figure out the best way to store my fabric though… I used to store it in big, plastic totes on shelves. But now that I’m getting a bigger studio, I’m looking at different ways to handle it.
Should I stick with my tried-and-tested totes and shelves?
Upgrade to a fancy metal mesh basket system that mounts on the wall?
Dump it all in a heap and let the dogs sleep in it 
Well, I know which one the dogs would vote for, but for now – I’m going to keep thinking…
The most hassle free fabric storage I have seen was done by draping fabric over a clothes hanger (as you would a pair of paints) and hanging them in the closet. A lady my aunt knew when I was a kid did it this way.
