Clothes racks that give you extra storage and look great

If you're one of those people who has plenty of closet space, then you're in luck. Many of us, especially apartment dwellers, don't, and many of us don't have closets large enough to hold all of their stuff. If you've encountered this very common problem, rest assured knowing that there is a simple solution: hangers.

Clothes hangers - also known as coat hangers - are really just shelves for storing clothes. They come in all different shapes and sizes, but all fit a small part of your closet. Unlike closets, they are often freestanding and open, allowing you to display some of your favorite pieces - and, of course, expand your closet.

What to look for in a hanger

Size

As you probably know, if you're looking for hangers in the first place, the amount of space you have should be one of your top considerations. If you really don't have the extra space, then look for a rack designed for a corner (like a traditional coat rack); if you have a large bedroom but no closet, look for larger options that can accommodate clothes, shoes and even accessories.

Functionality

Have zero closet space? Be sure to get a multifunctional hanger that has not only a hanging rod, but also shelves for shoes and folded clothes. Don't be afraid to add storage baskets to the mix to keep everything together, especially if you don't like the open look. Have a closet but too many clothes? You can focus on choosing a minimalist shelf that keeps your favorite items within reach and provides some breathing room for your closet. Hangers are also great for closet-less entrances - look for a narrow rack that can hold a few coats and maybe a shoe rack.

Style

Clothes hangers have come a long way from the metal collapsible hangers you find in clothing stores. Today, you can find style options that double as décor, from sleek metal frames for industrial spaces to warm wooden frames (depending on finish and size) that suit bohemian, mid-century and farmhouse aesthetics. You may need to spend more on design forward options, but not always.
