But with being able to have "full access" when one wants to look at them.
It is fun to look at the colors and patterns - BUT light can do damage - especially on the exposed fold lines/edges.
Good point. Our old sewing room had traditional kitchen cabinets. We had to open them to view contents. Fabrics were stored by color and/or type. I just thought glass fronts would make it easier and more fun to view. I wonder if it matters what type of light they are exposed to. I know sunlight obviously can do damage. I believe fluorescent light can as well. What about LED? I will have to check with Dr. Google.
Also Watson asked about wall color. We are not beige people. Our old sewing room was a pale mint green. If we were building a dream space it would probably be a pale turquoise or a pale periwinkle color. I guess that would depend on how much wall was actually visible.
