Since I'm not concerned about light in my sewing room (it's in the dungeon of my basement - no light penetrates!!) I store all my fabric in open "crates." They are the adjustable vinyl sided "boxes" that can be built to any height/width, etc. I use my 6" wide ruler to fold my fabric. It's just like using the cardboard bolts at the fabric stores. But after I fold it, I pull out my ruler and then fold them in half the other way. Two rows fit perfectly in each shelf. I also just love looking at my wall of color.
One other idea I use is under the bed shoe storage containers. Got them at Hancock Fabric. They hold "tons" of fabric!
