I fold mine onto comic book backer boards. Here's a blog link, not mine, with directions. http://www.right-sides-together.com/folding-fabric-on-comic-book-boards/ My cupboard doesn't look as neat as hers (first photo) but I have much more fabric, and mine needs more tending than it gets!
There's also specially-made fabric organizers (second photo) but I'd bet they're Bmore expensive. (Backer boards cost about $13 for a hundred.)
For additional ideas, do a search for Fabric Storage on Pinterest. Lots there. Good luck!

Thanks for the ideas!
I had a client whose husband bought the house next door for her fabric and supplies. I am not kidding. Lucky lady.
Heavy duty coat hangers for larger pieces. Thrift stores put sheet sets on wood hangers. Bookcase for any you fold up. Depending on usage organize by color, place in those storage bags where you vacuum out the air, and put on bookcase. Yard sale dresser or chest of drawers.
l just roll my spare up on left over rapping paper tubes.
Same size as my room. I use a bookshelf along one wall. Smaller pieces fold on the shelves where I can admire them. Larger pieces, I roll tightly and secure with rubber bands. They fit standing up in wire crates (the crates fit the lowest shelf and can be pulled out to see what I have in there. I found odds and ends of small shelves and turned my closet into a storage unit too!
most of my fabrics are on pants hangers. the thicker support soesn't crease the fabric as bad.
Love the hanger ideas! I have a ton of pant hangers!
I buy foam craft boards at the dollar tree and cut them into 10 x 10 size. Then I iron, fold and wrap my fabric around them. I bought cubby shelves and I put them in those.
I store mine in "under the bed" boxes.
Brilliant suggestions, I made several small trees from the foam shaped Christmas trees. I pinned small pieces if trimmings, fabric, ric rac, braids, lace etc and keep those in a glass fronted cabinet. Maybe not practical but they look fabulous, I love them anyway as they spark ideas and colour combinations.
