Steel Garment Rack with 2 Shelves and Hanging Rod by Intermetro

For me, the abundance of clothing I own has always been an issue.  What can I say, I like clothes!  And I have always had crowded, over filled closets with clothes smashed up against each other like sardines in a can.  Which always means more wasted time looking for an article of clothing and having to re-iron it.  My solution to this problem happened when I started storing my seasonal clothing in the garage.  Some items are multi-seasonal, but others really aren’t and you can afford to send them on a little vacation somewhere else in the house.
This steel garment rack with 2 shelves and hanging rod by Intermetro was a smart choice.  It is sturdy, but rolls around easily when I need it to, and it offers around forty eight inches of hanging space!  You can hang long and short garments on it, and you can store other seasonal items such as winter shoes and accessories on the top and bottom shelves.  I believe the shelves that are incorporated into the frame provide more stability all over, than you would get with regular clothing racks, which tend to be flimsy and tip over easily.  Also, it comes in either white or chrome so you can actually choose the one that suits your taste.

Over-the-Door Garment Rack

When you find yourself stuffing hangers into place it might be time to add more rack space with the Over-the-Door Garment Rack. This rack makes the most of unused closet door space and can be added everywhere from the bedroom to the coat closet. A smaller rack is the perfect place to lay out clothes for the week so you don’t have to search through your wardrobe everyday for something to wear. Over door organizers can also provide storage for everything from a collection of hats or handbags or shoes. That way everything is on display and easy to find, rather than getting lost in the back of your closet.

Need even more hanger space? Consider a double rod to store shorter items of clothing like shirts, jackets or folded pants. Adding it to just one side of a closet quickly adds clothing space that can easily be removed when it is no longer needed. This is also ideal for gaining storage in coat closets where extra space often goes unused.

Make the most of closet shelves by adding stacking wire shelves that can double shelf space. Shelf dividers are another way to keep items organized and easy to grab, rather than having a messy disorganized space. If you have an extra foot of hanging space to spare in the closet a hanging closet organizer also adds shelf space for items that can’t be stored on hangers, like sweaters or purses. With the right tools a more manageable closet is within reach!

36" Supreme Clothes Closet

The clear cover also allows you to see what you have stored inside, a major plus when you are looking for something that you have not worn in a while.  The other nice thing about this garment rack cover in particular is that it zips down the middle.  Usually the ones I’ve seen zip around from the bottom around the top, so you are forced to undo the whole thing if the garment happens to be hanging on the wrong side of the unit.  The casters make it portable, another great feature, especially if you are using it in the garage where you will likely want to roll it in and out of place to save space.
Here are some ideas of how you can use this handy clothes closet:
•         In the Guest Room:  If you don’t have a formal guest room, you can use this garment rack to turn any room into a guest room.  Think the office, basement, or crafting room.  These types of rooms often don’t have a closet built into the walls, so your guests will be very happy to have a place to hang their clothes.
•         Garage:  There are a ton of uses for this clothes storage rack in the garage.  Usually people use them for out of season clothing, or “fancy” clothes (think prom dresses and suits) that you don’t need access to very often.  Another great idea is to use it to hang up all of your sporting equipment.  Uniforms that you aren’t currently using, etc.  Winter coats can even find a summer home in this great garment rack, keeping them safe until the next season!

over the door cap rack that holds 36 caps

Unfortunately for me, in the nine years my three children have played ball, the option of recycling has not presented itself. Year after year, my children have been placed on a different team. We have rooted for the “Atlanta Braves”, the “Seattle Mariners”, the “Florida Marlins”, and even the “Akron Racers” (softball).

Add in the fact that every few years my husband has to do his best Tommy Lasorda impression and take up the role of general manger, the tally of hats my family has collected reaches an incredible, astounding 32 different hats! All of these hats are taking up tons of space in my hall closet (and every other closet in my home), and all are in desperate need for a home to call their own.

Enter the over the door cap rack that holds 36 caps. Not only is this cap rack extremely simple to install in the home, it has the incredible capacity to organize my family’s ridiculous ball cap accumulation (I hate to call something that is forced on you a “collection”).  With its unique design, it is able to be hung over a door, hung from the ceiling, used in a closet and more! One of my favorite features of this hat rack is that the clips are ventilated, which keeps the hats well aired out and free from mildew (very important when you have a teenaged boy!).

over the door rack for clothes hanger

For those that do not know, the Midwest has famously terrible weather. In the winter, it routinely gets below zero and the winds are bone chilling. In order to survive in this region of the United States, a full arsenal of heavy jackets is a must have. Without warm jackets, you will simply freeze; there is no way around it.

Unlike Antarctica, where a heavy jacket is a must have year-round, the summers in Chicago are equally brutal, but not for their chilliness. Summers in the Midwest get incredibly hot and humid making a jacket is the last thing you need taking up closet space.

This creates quite a large dilemma; where is one to store all of these heavy winter coats that are completely obsolete in the summer? A great solution for winter jacket storage is the over the door rack clothes hanger. This rack hangs over a closet or bedroom door, providing extra space for hanging coats, jackets and more.

The rack is made from coated metal, giving it excellent durability. This over the door storage rack has space for fifteen racks, and is able to support up to 40 pounds, which is plenty of strength for every one of my oversized down jackets.

This over the door rack and other space saving closet organizers can be found online at Stacks and Stacks!

medium duty 5ft z-rack clothing rack

When you finally have the closet space you need a garment rack can still by useful. Combine a rack with some garment bags to properly store seasonal clothing in a guest room. This makes it easy to keep the clothes you want to wear up front and center in your closet and protect out of season clothes. A garment rack also makes convenient clothing storage for a guest room that doesn’t have a closet. All you have to do is add some hangers and guests can easily unpack.

If you’re lucky enough to have a large closet or entire room to dedicate to your wardrobe than the storage options are limitless. A garment rack like the medium duty 5ft z-rack clothing rack is ideal for a dream closet. With a heavy duty design and set on casters this rack can easily be moved. Organize clothes by season, such as heavy winter coats on one rack and summer dresses on another, then rearrange these portable racks so you have easy access to season appropriate clothes.

For wardrobes big or small a garment rack can help get organized and store clothes so they are ready to wear for years to come.

castello dryer clothes drying rack

The castello dryer clothes drying rack makes air drying of clothing a cinch, and can be used in the laundry room or even outside on the patio to get a little extra help from the sun, heat and wind!  One of the great things about this clothes drying rack is that it incorporates flat shelves into its design.  This is a must have feature for flat drying sweaters and a variety of other garments.    This model also breaks down for space efficient storage when not in use.  Here are some other benefits, tips and ideas about air drying clothing:
·         Use a garment rack!  This is a garment rack blog, and in fact garment racks make great clothes dryers, inside and outside the house!  Hanging clothes on the hangers makes it easier when it’s time to put them away, too, simply keep them on the same hanger and place them on the closet rod!
·         Outdoor Clothes Lines - These are great for maximum air drying of clothes.  Look for traditional wire clothes lines or even some newer models that are rotating stands - a more compact idea if you have limited outdoor space.  There are also great indoor clothes lines on the market now that can span across a bathtub or from wall to wall in the laundry room - look for ones that are retractable so that it is only out when you need it!
·         Air Drying Clothes is the Eco-Friendly Way!  In addition to not using a dryer, which uses up energy that is likely being supplied by burning fossil fuels, air drying your clothes will likely make them last longer.  And one of the worst things you can throw into a landfill is fabric, as it takes  a long time to decompose.

garage garden tool organizer

The key to solving my problem was this awesome garage garden tool organizer that mounts to the wall.  First of all, I was highly impressed by how easily it mounted to the wall.  It simply hangs by grommets that are spaced perfectly for wall studs.  A few screws and my new yard tool organizer was hanging up nicely and ready to be filled up!  Second, this wall organizer has plenty of pockets.  And the pockets range in size so I can store small hand tools and long pole tools appropriately.  But best of all, are the quick release buckle straps that allow me to hang oddly shaped items, such as my rolled up extension cord.
In addition to all the little organization benefits, I really love how this garden tool organizer mounts flat against the wall, so no more floor space is used up.  It looks so clean and tidy, and now I have more room to walk or store other things that can’t go on the wall.  And whenever I need a tool, I don’t have to go searching around the garage or climb over stuff to get to what I need – it’s all just right there!

yard tool storage rack

I own a number of gardening tools, including rakes, hoes, shovels and sprinklers.  This year, I’m not only going to tend to the garden, but tend to the manner in which I organize all of my garden tools.  Until now, I’ve kept them in a heap, leaning up against the wall by my back porch.  But it makes my otherwise pristine landscape look very unsightly.  And the tools always end up getting tangle with each other and eventually falling over when I need to get at something.
So I invested in a really great yard tool storage rack that hangs all of my tools neatly.  This rack was really easy to mount to the wall, which is convenient for someone like me, who just wants to get it done fast.  And I love how the hooks that hold my gardener tools slide along the metal bar.  It means I can move them and configure them however I need to!
Now that I’ve gotten my yard tools organized and tidy hanging up on the wall, I can start preparing the yard and doing my clean up, without having to worry about the rake and shovels detracting from the nice look of things!
