Default How to store fabric out of light. Does light fade fabric?

I am planning to redo my sewing room and have been thinking about how to store my fabric. In the past I have read that fabric color does fade from light exposure and you should have the fabric stored out of light. Now I realize that "light" is different for every room situation - light bulbs, window light, sunlight, etc. I have seen fabric where the outer folded edge was affected by how it was stored.
Does anyone have opinions about this and/or good ways to store fabric??
I've attached a photo of how I currently store my fabric.... in bankers boxes turned sideways.
My next house I'll have a big room to start fresh with organizing it.
Thanks for any input you may give.
