Garment racks (portable,
rolling and covered) create additional closet and
clothing storage with more hanging space and shelves to
keep you organized |

If you're like most people, you have more clothes
than you have adequate space to store them. Many
women have three wardrobes: the clothes they wear,
the clothes they've worn that don't fit anymore,
and the clothes they've recently bought but are
afraid to wear. That's a lot of fabric! If you've
every seriously considered trying to keep your
pants under your mattress to press the wrinkles
out of them, you have reached the desperation
stage. You need a garment rack to get your
wardrobe under control.
If you haven't considered using a garment rack at
home, it may be because you're used to thinking of
them as industrial items. Garment racks are not
just for clothing stores: they come in all sorts
of sizes and styles to fit every wardrobe need.
They can save you time and hassle when you're
getting dressed and dealing with laundry and dry
cleaning. You don't have to have extra closet
space to use garment racks: some are made like
shelving systems to fit against bare walls; others
are covered, making attractive, one piece closets.
You can certainly store clothes in bins or tubs,
but if you love your clothes and want them to
maintain their proper hanging lines, garment racks
will help you keep them safe from the ravages of
gravity.
Organizing your hanging apparel does more than
make you feel less cluttered: your clothes will be
free of the wrinkles they get when smashed into an
overfilled closet. You'll be more likely to find
things when you need them, and clothes will be
less likely to get lost in the crush, so your
outfits will be more likely to match. For a real
fashionista whose closet should resemble that of a
fabulous clothing store, round garment racks that
turn make it easy to page through dozens of
dresses in no time at all.
Rolling or portable garment racks, while often
used in the commercial fashion industry, work
great for tiny city apartments where your clothing
may be stored in a room other than the one you
dress in. Folding or collapsible garment racks are
useful for drying delicate clothes: after the
laundry is dried, you can store the garment racks
on a shelf of against a wall. Some drying racks
are wall mounted and can be folded up when not
being used.
It's worth it to pay more for heavy duty garment
racks: the cheap ones you may buy in department
stores are often made of thin metal or cheap
plastic parts that break after a short period of
use. Look for chrome finishings and well
constructed hinges, bolts and racks that will
stand the test of time.
If you're worried that garment racks will make
your home look like a used clothing store, think
again. You can find garment racks in elegant
woods, dark finishes and wicker. For folks who
take off a suit coat and plan to wear it the next
day, an oak suit stand may be the perfect answer.
Racks may come with built in shelves, double rack
systems where clothes are stacked in staggered
fashion and even drawers. Check out companies like
Lexington and Whitmore for great looking garment
racks and other storage options.
A cube style garment rack with a canvas cover is
ideal for clothes that are frequently in storage;
wedding gowns, fur coats and evening wear will
remain safe and clean inside a covered garment
rack. You can even turn an unused bedroom or den
into a movie star style closet by the addition of
garment racks. If you have the wardrobe of a star,
hang it up. You'll be delighted with the results!
