the lovely dry cleaner wire hangers…do you have some? do they invade your closet? i have to say…when doing a closet audit…this is one of the first things i work on getting rid of…there are so many wonderful hangers that “help” make your closet work…why why why use these ugly things?
the first thing to look for in a hanger…is of course…sturdiness…and something that is a must…the swivel-top…if your closet is in pristine order…and why wouldn’t it be? your clothes would all be facing the same way…why not save yourself some time…when hanging up your jacket, blouse, etc…you notice it is not facing the right way…just turn the swivel-top…seems like it wouldn’t be a big deal…but it is…trust me!
now there are padded “girly” hangers…thick massive sturdy ones…but keep in mind that these take up precious space in your closet…and fills up the closet pretty quickly…believe me…eventually you will be replacing these…so start fresh from the beginning…
when shopping…ask to keep your items on the hanger…saves you some money in not having to keep replenishing them…and the lovely wire hangers? you know the ones that your dry cleaner supplies with your freshly pressed items…think green…and bring them back to the cleaners…so they may re-use them…or your local thrift stores would take them…they are always needing hangers…
it amazes me the hangers that have been invented to take up less space with more clothing…multiple skirts & pants on a single hanger…cascading down in perfect formation…something for your scarves…your belts…there truly is something for everyone…
so whether your closet is massive…or teeny tiny…take advantage of the space allotted to you…and make the most of it with space saving hangers…
Have you tried those skinny hangers that have a velvety material on them? They will hold everything and they are thin. They are at target. Give them a try!
hi lesa – i have a client that uses those…she loves them…they really are thin…and take up very little room…
