Making The Most Of Wardrobe And Closet Space With A Double Hang Closet Rod
Having rented many properties in different places, as well as having bought
many homes over the years, it is amazing how few have had adequate storage for clothes. Even
those with a built in wardrobe have been let down by not having enough hanging space; which
is strange, as most of our clothes, such as pants, jackets and shirts, can be kept less crumpled
if given hanging space rather than folded and put on a shelf.
One way to get that extra hanging space is with a
double hang closet rod, or closet doublers as some people call them. These are a rather an obvious
way of getting extra hanging rail space, which is suitable not for long gowns and coats, but
for shorter items of clothing like shirts and blouses, pants and jeans. They are also a cheap
solution for making better use of air space in
bedroom closet systems, and
can be used in existing closet organizers
A typical example under $10 is the Hanging Closet Doubler by Richards Homewares
This economic metal double hang closet rod will get the job done, without being anything fancy.
It is sturdy, though, and easily hooks over the main closet rod, with comfortable room for twelve
hangers instead of six.
A little more elaborate at just over $20 is the Lynk 143020DS Double
Hang Closet Rod in a chrome finish, with solid wood elements too. This just as easily
hooks over the primary closet rod, creating more hanging space on the rod below. There are matching
items to go with this double hang closet rod , so you might like to have a look at those too.
There are other ways to make use of the closet space for hanging more shirts
and so on. A common one is the cascader type hanger, while another is the swing arm slack hanger.
Variations of these include the blouse tree and multiple pants hanger. Really, it doesn’t really
matter if you use a closet doubler or an alternative; the important thing is to maximize the
closet space to best effect.
