The type of hanger you choose can make a big difference in the amount of closet space that you have. Use these tips to make the most of your closet space with space saving hangers and other closet accessories.
1) Pair tops and bottoms together. This can save you time when you are getting ready for work or for a night on the town. Pairing outfits together not only saves you time, but can double the space in your closet. You can use specialty suit hangers to hang the pants or skirt with the top that matches it best. You can also use cascading hooks or other hanger clips to make an outfit take up the space of one hanger.
2) Use hangers designed to hold multiples of each item to save more space. If you use pants hangers that allow you to hang a few pairs on one hanger, you can save a lot of room. You can use ones with clips or ones that simply drape over each other. Some will simply have hooks for you to hang a few hangers on one base. You can use these for skirts or any other item that can be draped.
3) Use bins for small items. This will make your closet look more organized by disguising what all you have in the closet. It’s also a lot easier to stay organized when everything has a place to go. Baskets or bins can go into cubby spaces, on shelves, or on the floor of the closet. You can color coordinate so that your sock bin is a different color than your husbands, or however you determine works best for you and your closet.
4) Sometimes using hangers for their specific purpose can help you save space. For example, suit hangers and coat hangers are usually curved to help you keep the shape of the shoulders of your heavier garments. This curvature helps the hangers to stay close together without wrinkling and cramming your clothes. Flat metal hangers and velvet hangers are very slim, fitting close together on the bar. The necks of high quality metal and velvet hangers are designed not to get crossed up on the bar, unlike those old flimsy wire hangers.
5) Using cascading hooks and finger clips on velvet hangers will allow you to customize the hangers to fit everything in your closet. Plus, they come in all kinds of colors and interesting prints to make your closet look great. Because they are space saving hangers, they will help you to efficiently organize your space while making it look great at the same time.
