Wall Racks as Shelves
October 13, 2012
Not all shelves have to be of the flat, thin variety. Wall organizers, including wall racks come in all shapes, sizes, materials, styles and prices. This week we are covering different types of wall organizers that fall out of the typical shelf variety. These three are all designed with some sort of clothing storage in mind, which we all can certainly use more and more of I think it’s safe to say! The first type of wall rack I love is for the laundry room.
In the laundry room, you might need a shelf to hold detergents and sprays, but beyond that I’m not so sure shelves are the best way to organize in that particular room. What I find is often lacking in laundry rooms is hanging space for clothes. Whether you like to drip dry your garments or simply have a few items that cannot go through the clothes dryer, you will likely find yourself in need of a closet rod in the laundry room at some point. For tight spaces, I recommend the Instahanger Folding Clothes Hanger. It is a great choice, as it is just 3 inches deep and holds up to 10 hangers. It also folds flat which is a major bonus.
If you want something a little bigger, the QuikCloset Instant Hanging rack is a great way to go. Installation is quick and easy, and it folds up to keep it out of the way when it’s not in use. This is also a great choice for use in the coat closet or other area in need of an instant closet.
Cubbie Shelf for Entryway by Prepac
A third type of wall rack that, frankly, every home should have, in my opinion, is a Cubbie Shelf For Entryway. If you don’t have a formal entryway, this is still a great product for the hall or anywhere near the front or rear door. This one is great because it has hooks and shelves. If you have kids, they can each have a designated hook and shelf for their school items – a great organizer for the whole family!
