Space saving hangers are an easy way to get more space out of your closet and therefore make it easier to keep organizer. If you find it difficult to organize your closet, read on for more tips.

One of the major obstacles to closet organization is lack of space. People often think that the only way to gain space is to renovate. Think again. If you get rid of all the clothes you no longer and then switch your old hangers to space saver hangers, you'll gain 50-75% more space in your closet. Huggable Hangers are an example of this type of hanger. The save space by virtue of their design. A space saving hanger is much slimmer than the average hanger and lighter as well.



Cascading Hangers and Hanger Accessories

Another addition to space saving hangers are accessories that help them save even more space then their design already does. Cascading hangers and hooks allow you to link several hangers together so that you can hang up to 5 shirts in the same amount of horizontal space as you normally would hang 1 shirt.

Another invention that will save you closet space are tiered hangers like Joy Mangano hangers. They can be used for pants or skirts allowing you to hang up to 5 items on 1 hanger. The idea of these hangers and accessories is to use vertical space instead of horizontal space since there is a lot of vertical space in your closet that gets totally wasted. In addition these types of hangers keep your skirt and pants wrinkle free. Pants hangers in particular are the way to keep those creases in your pants in exactly the right place and not to have rumpled and messy looking pants when you go to put them on in the morning.

Tiered hangers can be used to hang up ties and belts as well. This will allow you to easily see these accessories and will protect them from getting all wrinkled in the back of a drawer. Hanging up your ties and belts in this fashion keeps them grouped together and thus easy to find and retrieve. This is one of the main rules of any type of organization. This idea is also great for women's scarves and also women's handbags. You can even hang shoes on tiered hangers if you want to keep them in view and not lost in the shuffle on the bottom of your closet.

Categorize your Clothing with Cascading Hooks


Besides saving space, cascading hooks allow you to categorize clothing by color or season. Stores find these accessories very useful for displays or if they are tight for space. They can hang the same shirt in different colors in a one-unit space saving hangers for a very attractive display. Similarly, different sizes of the same shirt can be hung all together.

In your home, you can use cascading hangers in your home closet to hang up articles of clothes that you often wear together as an outfit. This will save you the time of searching for the shirt that goes with those particular pants or skirt. The uses for the space saver hanger are beyond just saving space. If you use space saving accessories you get the added benefit of getting yourself organized by making your clothing easy to find and retrieve.
