Using Hanger Right

Getting your closet organized has a lot to do with the style of hanger that you choose. You should consider style, cost, functionality, durability, and many other factors when choosing the right hanger for your closet. Use this guide to help you decide which type of hanger you’ll be happiest with before you buy.

1) Wooden hangers, or coat hangers, are by far the most popular hanger on the market. They come in a variety of different finishes to satisfy your desire to make your closet look good. But wooden hangers are good for more than just looks. They are very durable and come in a lot of different styles.

Some have notches or rubber grips to keep your clothes from slipping. Some have a pants bar, either stationary or removable, to help you hang suits or coordinate outfits together. Others come with useful clips or non-slip bar covers to suit your needs. Wooden hangers can be purchased in bulk or wholesale to help cut down on costs without sacrificing quality. You can even get specialty hangers made from renewable bamboo or cedar to extend the life of your wardrobe.

2) Velvet hangers are really popular right now. These hangers are really strong, yet ultra-thin to help you save space. People really like the velvet coating that helps their clothing stay put on the hanger. It feels nice, prevents slippage, and comes in a lot of different colors and designs to keep your closet looking great.

Velvet hangers fit closely together to save space, but you can also get cascading hooks or specialty velvet hangers to make even more space. Cascading hooks simply slip over the top of the hanger and give the next hanger a notch to hang from. By doubling up hangers like this, you can get outfits ready to wear and save space at the same time. The new “Z-Hangers” patented design has an extended hook that allows you to hang shirts without unbuttoning the top button or stretching the neck to get it hung.

3) Metal hangers are a lot different than the old wire hangers. Wire hangers bend, snag clothes, and get crossed up on the bar. The newer designed metal hangers are a heavy gauge metal that is molded into one continuous piece. No more snags at that annoying twist around the neck. Metal hangers come in stylish finishes, like chrome or nickel to compliment the décor of your home. They fit closely together on the bar, saving precious space, and they don’t get crossed over each other and bent like the old style wire clothes hangers.
