How the heck do you store bags?

I'm talking about, handbags, shoulder bags, tote bags, backpacks, shoppers...

They are forever hanging from our wardrobe door handles, taking-up space and looking messy. I put some command hooks on the inside of the wardrobe doors, but they get overfull and the doors won't shut.

For context we have:

A fitted double wardrobe (four doors). All hanging space is taken.

A built in cupboard with shelves...again... full.

If you live in an average sized house, with no space for a dressing room. WTAF are you doing with bags?

Is the only answer to Marie Kondo the heck out of our bedroom?

I realise this is dull, but I'm currently sat on my bed surrounded by bags at nearly bedtime.

... maybe a major clear out will produce some much needed space.

We have a boot cupboard in the utility room. It's for shoes, coats and bags!

We have a chest in the study that holds the swimming kit bags, school bags, the day out backpack and my handbag. Our two laptop bags go down the side of it.

Shopping bags go in the boot.

DH's cricket kit lives in the loft for 6 months and is a roundabout in the middle of the study floor that I tolerate for the other 6!
