Stuck to the side of filing cabinets, metal doors, leaning up against anything that will hold still.
You've got it easy with 12" ones, try finding space for the bigger ones.
Bob (HIS Glassworks) sells a sturdy metal holder for multiple discs, I think up to 24" diameter.

I also have a Crystalmaster 12", and I use scrapbooking shelves (as scrapbooking papers tend to be 12").

Here is a great sample that will hold 5 discs:

I use these shelves right now for 12" kiln shelves, 5.5" kiln shelves and also miscellaneous molds. They are useful not only for storage, but for drying kiln wash. Right now I use actually slightly different scrapbooking shelves (similar type nature) for my discs. But these would work great. Keeps the discs nice and flat as they should be, and doesn't sacrifice alot of surface space.

Thanks
I purchased several magnetic knife racks from Ikea. They ones I bought were stainless steel (actually, they have a magnet inside the stainless) and hang on the wall. Perfect for storing the disks.

This isn't the exact model I purchased, but it's similar: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00110353
