Many times, when I think about garment racks, I picture a covered garment rack.  Whether vinyl or canvas, I usually think about garment racks as being covered.  That is until I came across this collapsible garment rack with 4 shelves and double hanging rod, a totally open design, even the shelves are slatted for air flow and increased access.  I love the idea of a totally open garment rack, it has a very contemporary vibe to it.  It could be used in any room of the home for increased storage.  Create a bedroom or guestroom out of the office by adding this garment rack to the room, giving your guests somewhere to hang their clothes on their overnight visits.

Let’s face it, sometimes you want to put a garment rack in the guest room to make your overnight visitors more comfortable, especially in rooms where there is no closet (such as the office), but you just don’t have the space.  And in fact you might actually be reducing the comfort level in the room by adding bulky organizers!  If you’re in this boat, then a luggage rack, like this folding luggage rack by winsome trading company might just be the solution you’ve been looking for!  A luggage rack technically is a garment rack, it’s just in a different form.  I think luggage racks are a fun addition to the guest room or office or bedroom, because they make the room look just like a hotel room, a fun way to show your overnight visitors that you really and truly care about their comfort level!  When choosing a luggage rack, there are so many different styles and price points, how to choose?
Here are some things to think about when purchasing your first luggage rack:
•    Style - Yes!  Luggage racks can serve a style purpose in the home.  For example, if you have a contemporary styled bedroom, look for metal or wood racks with clean, modern lines.  If you have a traditionally styled home, a wooden luggage rack with fabric straps may be the way to go for a country or French cottage feel.
•    Folding - I always recommend that people choose a luggage stand that folds.  This way you can keep it in the back of the closet when you are not hosting overnight guests.  Otherwise you are talking about adding a little bit of clutter to the room that is simply unnecessary.
•    Price - A very cheap luggage rack is probably not a good idea - how embarrassing would that be if guests set their suitcase on the rack and it broke?  Very.  I would go mid-range.  Above a certain price point, any added benefit is probably just aesthetic.

For maximum clothes storage in the closet, you must check out the closet doubler double hanging closet rod.  This nifty tool hangs on your existing closet rod and instantly doubles the hanging space with a bar hanging below.

This is perfect for hanging any shorter garments.  Skirts, shirts, folded slacks, jackets and blazers, they all fit perfectly on this double closet rod.  Whoever thought up this idea must be some kind of organizing genius!  When you look inside an average closet, you see clothes hanging on top, and then you look down and usually what you find is totally wasted space underneath the clothes!  With this closet organizer, there is no more wasted space.  And you don’t have to install anything.  All you do is hang the rod from your existing closet rod.  It’s very sturdy, too.  The metal sides and wooden rod bar are stiff so there’s not a lot of swaying and swinging.  Here are some more great ways to use a closet doubler:
•    Kids room.  A closet doubling rod is really ideal for the kids’ room or nursery.  Since all of their clothes are short hanging, you will have no problem fitting whatever you want in there. It could be a great solution, too, for rooms where brothers and sisters share a closet, allowing them to each have their own space.
•    Garage - In the garage, you can hold anything from jackets to sporting equipment on these closet rods.  For example, jerseys, sweaters, ski clothing and more all can be kept off the garage floor, neat and tidy on a closet rod!
•    Coat Closet - Maximize the storage capabilities of your coat or hall closet by using a doubling bar.  You will fit twice as many items in the same amount of space - a great idea when you have guests over for dinner!

I just moved into the cutest little apartment with my cat.  It’s a single bedroom apartment at the top floor of a gorgeous old Victorian.  I love old homes because they come with so much character that you just don’t see in apartments anymore.  Sure, the fixtures are old and there are probably 85 layers of paint on the walls, but I can really appreciate the attention to detail people had back in the old days.  The windows in my little abode are my favorite.  Again, they’re old and a little drafty but they are just so beautiful!  And Snowball, my kitty, loves to curl up and bask in the sunny windows.  She looks so perfect when lying there, almost as if she were designed for this home.

So, the only real downside I see to living in this gorgeous old apartment like this is that it doesn’t have a closet in the bedroom.  Seems a little strange to me, since people wore such big clothes back in the day, but whatever!  At first, I wasn’t sure what to do.  I mean, I don’t have a ton of clothes, but enough to necessitate a closet.  I thought about going the regular garment rack route, but then what about my shoes and accessories?  The answer to my question was found in this really great wardrobe center I found online at Stacks and Stacks.  It’s basically a portable closet.
This portable wardrobe is so handy, I’d almost take it over a regular closet any day!  Not only is there a closet rod for hanging clothes, but also the cover has a lot of pockets.  There are pockets for my shoes and others into which I stuff my socks and undergarments.  The best part about this covered garment rack, though, is the removable laundry bag on the side.  My apartment doesn’t have a washer and dryer in the unit, so I have to carry laundry down to the basement.  This wardrobe makes that task so much easier!
And in case you were wondering, yes, Snowball approves of it too.

Some laundry rooms are very tight on open space, with washers and driers and their many accessories taking up all the room.  When I want to air dry my delicate clothing, I run into an issue every single time. Either I end up having to carry a bunch of dripping wet clothes up the stairs to my closet where they can hang dry, or I have to try to find space in my cramped laundry room.  Both options are far from desirable, and I always end up with a wet floor!

Arrow Instahanger - Folding Clothes Hanger

Enter the arrow instahanger folding clothes hanger, which provides excellent clothes drying space but folds down when I am not using it.  By being able to hang all my wet clothes in one convenient space, I avoid getting water drips all over my washing room.  I can place a pan under this folding hanger and make sure my laundry room is nice and dry.
There are many more uses for this nifty wall rack hanger!  It also makes a really convenient additional storage space in the guest room, so that when you have guests there is always a place for them to hang their clothes and keep them wrinkle free.
Another very convenient place to use this folding clothes hanger is in the bathroom.  I hate it when I come home from the gym, the beach or the pool and I do not have a good place to put my wet clothes.  They always end up hanging near the shower, where they inevitably get wet again when someone carelessly turns on the shower without looking.  Or I hang them next to my towels, getting sweat, pool water or salt water all over them.  Simply attach this hanger to the door of your bathroom, and voila, instant hanging storage.
I was able to find this incredible, folding clothes hanger at Stacks and Stacks.

If you are anything like me, your closet probably resembles a battlefield and you are not winning that battle. Dress shirts hang next to cocktail dresses next to coats next to Halloween costumes, and so on. Unless your closet was designed by an obsessive-compulsive control freak, it probably has but a garment rod and couple of shelves on top, making it difficult to stay clutter-free.

There is light at the end of the tunnel: nowadays, a wide variety of organizing solutions are available for the ones who are not willing to take it from haphazard architects. My all-time favorites are hanging canvas dress bags, which make it easy to sort a vast frock collection by occasion, season or color.

Hanging Canvas Dress Bag

Great for storing special event attire, putting your summer dresses away for the winter or winter coats away for the summer, these closet organizers keep your important apparel isolated from odors, dust and pests for as long as your heart desires. This feature is especially important for pet owners, for as you may know, dog and particularly cat hair has this amazing ability to get onto anything not locked away in a top security government vault, easily ruining first impressions and smudging your reputation with the in-laws.

And if you ever owned a wool or fur coat, you are probably aware of how fast it can be chewed up by pesky moths, leaving you in utter despair. Still, there’s no reason to wear exclusively nylon and poly, for you have dignity and you have options. My pick is this hanging canvas dress bag. Made of breathable cotton and featuring a clear front, it takes guesswork out of finding the one right outfit in however great an amassment of garbs - get yours at Stacksandstacks! Now if only they came up with a cure for procrastination, we would live in a perfect world.

Living in an old home has its ups and its downs.  On the one hand, you get lots of old charm and character, unique details and features that aren’t found in modern design.  On the other hand, you tend to end up with small rooms and very small closets.  This is the bane of my existence.

My apartment’s bedroom has a closet the size of a shoebox.  The biggest challenge this has presented is, “what to do with my jackets?” I have a lot of jackets; it’s a bit of an obsession.  While the closet is just big enough for clothing alone, there is definitely no room for the coats and heavy sweaters.  And there isn’t even a spare closet to fall back on.

Wall Mounted Laundry Valet

I wasn’t keen on the idea of adding a modular closet or large garment rack – I just don’t have the space for those either.  And keeping my jackets stored under the bed in boxes just wasn’t a convenient option either.  I decided to go with a wall mounted laundry valet.  Technically, it’s designed for hanging laundry to dry, but I found it perfectly suitable to my needs for jacket hanging space.
The thing I like most about this wall mounted hanger is its collapsible design.  It measures a wonderful 11 inches long, so it perfectly holds a number of coats, but I don’t necessarily want it sticking out all the time.  As I mentioned before, I need all the space efficiency I can get.  So, when I don’t actually need to select a coat, I can keep the garment rack folded down and the coats hang nicely tiered.  I’m actually using two of these racks.  Each has six holes and you can fit about two hangers in each hole, but as I also said before, I have an expansive jacket collection.
I’ll probably keep using these laundry valets from Stacks and Stacks when I do have more closet space, just because they make selection so nice and easy!

Frameless Suit Bag

Finding more storage space in your home can seem like an impossible task, especially when it comes to seasonal clothing. Bulky winter coats, sweaters and boots can be especially difficult to store. Often it’s more of a challenge to find the extra room than it is to figure out how to store it. When every possible inch of closet space is full it’s time to get creative!

Sweaters bags are a must for storing your favorite knits. Easily stretched out by hangers, sweaters are best stored folded flat. Make sure they have been properly clean before packing them up so no moth damage occurs. Storage bags are also a useful when traveling, you can pack all your shirts together or use them to keep outfits organized, then towards the end of the trip you can use them to store dirty clothes.

Garment racks are an easy way to gain clothes storage when closets are full. Ideal for using in bedrooms when you live in an older home without closets or want to create additional storage in an extra room or garage. To keep clothes in good condition add a Frameless Suit Bag that creates a portable, mini closet. A frameless zippered suit bag from Stacks and Stacks is easy to transport and doesn’t take up as much room as a dresser or wardrobe. Clear vinyl design makes it easy to find what you’re looking for.

Under bed storage bins are a great way to make the most of unused space. Slide out bins with lift tops are an easy way to store items you don’t need everyday. Add risers underneath your bed frame and you can gain a few more inches of storage for larger bins. Platform bed frames with built in drawers are an even more convenient form of under bed storage. Easy to open drawers make it good storage for items you need more regularly, like sweaters or shoes.

Proper clothes storage prolongs the life of your clothes, saving them for years to come. Whether it’s a wedding dress or tailor made suit, it’s easy to find just the right garment bag for your clothes and your closet. There are a few basic storage rules that are important to follow and help you get the storage you need.

Prevent fading and damage from sunlight by storing clothes away from direct light. Keeping clothes away from sunlight is easy in a standard closet, but for a walk in closet with a window or skylight make sure to store nicer clothes that are only worn occasionally in a garment bag made of solid material that blocks out the light. For closets that are free from natural light consider a clear vinyl design that makes it easy to see where all your clothes are.

Jumbo Clothes Bag

Mold and Mildew love crowded spaces, keep them at bay by giving your clothes plenty of air flow and room to breath. A Jumbo Clothes Bag from Stacks and Stacks is a great clothes storage solution, providing plenty of room to spread out hangers. A jumbo clear vinyl dress bag keeps dust from gathering on top of the clothes you want to preserve but don’t often have an occasion to wear. Great for suits or dresses, a clothes bag will keep them straight from the dry cleaner fresh.

As opposed to garment bags that slip over the hanger, a bag with an interior hanger rod makes hanging and sorting through clothes easy. Ideal for storing seasonal clothes, heavy wool coats or rain jackets, an extra large clothes bag gives you enough room to store puffy down jackets. Used in a hall or guest room closet, garment bags are also a good way to keep clothes organized and out of the way. Follow these simple steps and you can keep your favorite pieces looking like new!
