Everything that can be hung up, should be. That is the conclusion of millions of
people who value the space in their closets and in their homes, and who want to
use space wisely to create an open feeling in the house while successfully
storing all their apparel, accessories and footwear. Specialty hangers address
the serious need for using vertical space in order to keep horizontal views
clean and unobstructed.

Oftentimes, people don’t realize that an uncluttered house is the result not of
having fewer things, but of knowing how to store them. Pants and skirts can be
stored in tiered systems, utilizing vertical closet space to the maximum. Tiers
allow the wearer to “stack” hanging clothing in succeeding levels ranging from
just below the closet bar to a couple of feet from the ground. Tier hanger
systems can let you quadruple closet space, keeping your apparel tidy and clean.
Best of all, a husband without closet space can buy his well-dressed wife a
closet tier system to increase his chances of being able to hang his clothes
somewhere besides the closet door handle.
Shoes, which often litter the bottoms of closets or lie forgotten under beds,
can be stacked in shoe trees that hang from closet rods, or the backs of bedroom
doors. Besides freeing up floor space, shoe hangers keep pumps, loafers,
sneakers, slippers and mules from getting crushed, dirty or stepped on. Hanging
shoes extends their lives, saving money for the wearer.
Ties can and should be hung up rather than being kept in drawers. Tie hangers
clasp the ties, so that slippery fabrics don’t send them to the ground. Ties are
usually lined and sewn to a particular shape: leaving them in a dresser drawer
spoils their shape and sometimes causes linings to sag or tear. Hanging ties
keeps them smooth and good-looking, making them last longer too.
Specialty hangers can be for specific items of apparel or for accessories. A
necklace hanger is one such specialized item, which keeps necklaces from
becoming entangled. Resting on the bureau or nightstand, necklace hangers (or
trees) allow you to hang your necklaces for easy accessibility while ensuring
that they won’t get lost or broken.
The quilt hanger is another specialty hanger that provides storage and prevents
wear to heavy but delicate linens. Handmade antique quilts may be stored
suspended from barred hangers in cotton bags that keep fabrics from fading or
brushing against closet doors. Damask tablecloths, linen sheets and
hand-embroidered pillowcases may also be stored on these sturdy, dependable
hangers.
Hooks can make specialty hangers for any number of items, from towels to
stockings. They come in all sorts, ranging from plastic hooks that affix to the
wall with sticky pads, to elegant pewter hooks perfect for hanging collectibles
or antiques. Whether made of wood, plastic or metal, specialty hangers can help
create that most restful of places—an uncluttered, organized home.
