I use see through plastic shoe boxes. Picked up at Target and even some dollar stores. Easy to see and stack.
I use a hanger that is made to hang several pair of pants on. it has 4 bars and each one opens individually to slide your spools on. You'd need quite a few for 100 tho, each bar holds around 6 or 7 spools, I got mine at Walmart.
I would use the spring loaded curtain rods and place them in a bookshelf or cabinet. They come in various sizes. Walmart has a great selection.
Use peg board and insert dowels into the holes the length you need. Secure the dowels in with glue.
Everyone i know who has these, use a long dowel, and two wooden brackets on either side to hold it up on the wall. The bracket needs to extend out from the wall far enough to accomodate the ribbon rolls. You can drill a big hole the diameter of the dowel through the brackets, and drill a narrow nail hole at the end of the dowels big enough to fit a nail to prevent the dowel from pulling through.

Bonus, you can put a shelf across the top for other craft supplies.
We have a lot of dust in our area.. I put dowel rods inside the closet door in my craft room (I converted the closed to hold my vacuums and carpet machine) I purchased adjustable curtain rod brackets at my local Lowe's so that I could extend them out to accommodate the larger spools of ribbon and the screws can tighten down to keep the dowels from moving around... the only thing that I am not really happy with is that I have to dismantle the whole thing to get to a spool in the middle. I thought about using peg board and mini bungees to hold the spools... but this works well enough for how often I use it. You could do peg board and wire baskets sized to hold the spools

How about using a curtain rod or a dowel and mounting it on a door or wall and threading the spool's on the rod.
oops Sorry did not see Marys answer before I commented. If the spool's arent too big you could get a length of eve trough and some end pieces.and screw it to the door or wall and just stand the spools in it.
When I began "collecting" Costco Ribbon I asked them for the empty cardboard ribbon display boxes. (I offered to consolidate the remaining ribbons at the store) This worked pretty well. Now, I have more space so I purchased several of the large plastic see-through boxes at Costco. They are available several times a year-3 for about $15. Each holds up to 30 rolls, depending on width. I have 6 full boxes and separate them by color schemes (gold/silver, purple/blue/green, etc.) or, season (Fall/Christmas). The boxes stack nicely, and visibility is a plus. I secure each roll with a large rubber band. It keeps them neat, and prevents unraveling loose ends. If a roll only has a few yards left on it, I remove it from the cardboard reel and wrap it back up without the reel, securing with a smaller rubber band. I definitely use a lot of ribbon for gifts, décor, crafts, and gift baskets. Despite that, I occasionally do have to put myself on "Ribbon Probation". LOL
I use metal shoe racks. They work great! I get the large ones that have wheels and I can move the racks around.
