What Type of Hanger Will Suit Your Home Best?



Hangers are by far most under-appreciated elements in our closet; after all they do so much more than we give them credit for. Good hangers hold our clothes and accessories up, keep them in good shape, well ironed, help save space in our closet, and keep it beautifully organized. They also poke up from under our clothes, and have the potential to add style and elegance to our closet. For those who value space and appreciate taste, it is only sensible to pay attention to the hangers we use, and choose carefully.

In terms of functionality, good hangers should be able to grip on to even the most slippery of your clothes, and keep them from falling into a heap at the bottom of the closet. So always go for hangers with extra grip, especially clothes hangers. Hangers are meant not just to hang up single garments, but as an organizational aid. So hangers with multi-tiered slots to hang multiple accessories may be a great idea if you like to keep your closet sorted and make the most of the space you have.

Everyone in the family uses hangers, but that doesn’t mean everyone in the family should use the same hangers! After all, not all clothes are the same, and not all wearers are the same either. While you may prefer elegant wooden hangers for your closet, children may be slightly keener on some bright color in theirs. You can get special children’s hangers in bright colors and designed for children’s sizes and with extra grip to keep those clothes off the floor.

One simple way to keep the closet looking tidy is to use uniform matching hangers, but it also makes sense to use the appropriate hangers for your clothes. For instance, you could use wooden hangers for your everyday clothes, including tops, tailored shirts; clip hangers for your pants and other bottoms including skirts; and perhaps sturdier and much stronger chrome hangers for heavy duty coats and jackets.

This way you can keep clothes hanging up, and in their proper shape. Clip hangers can prevent your pants or skirts from getting unnecessary creases, and chrome hangers can be strong enough to support far heavier clothes. Wooden hangers can add that elegant boutique look to your closet, and make it more welcoming.

Even though hangers are barely seen in your closet, they can add a surprising lot to the space in terms of style and aesthetics. So apart from playing a huge part in keeping your closet organized and tidy, nice hangers also simply look nice! A closet with odd hangers, that are not designed for their job can not only make your closet look shabby, but waste the space in your closet and maybe even ruin your clothes. A closet with well-designed, matching and good quality hangers can make all the difference! 

Using Tasteful Chrome Hangers

The importance of good hangers is not lost on anyone who appreciates design and aesthetics, but especially on those who are into their clothes. Rarely are people who enjoy their clothes and give importance to the display in their closet impervious to good hangers!


The best way to ramp up your closet style is to have uniform hangers. Even if you simply want your closet to look and feel more organized the first thing to do is to do away with those mix and match hangers, especially if they are all different colors, shapes, sizes and materials. Nothing makes the closet look more disorganized and shabby than a set of mismatched hangers.

It’s one thing to be organized, but what about taste? Taste is ultimately a matter of choice and this is completely individual. But what is common in rooms that are all well decorated is the fact that all the elements are well thought out and carefully selected. And this includes the hangers in your closet! What is the point of a carefully picked out closet, a beautiful bed that you love, and a wardrobe that you adore, if the hangers that hold up your clothes are tacky and lack any personality?

So, assuming that you are convinced of the fact that tasteful hangers can add that touch of elegance to your closet, and indeed your life, you will be delighted to know that chrome hangers can be the perfect antidote to a lack of elegance in the closet. If there is a material that instantly conveys style and taste, it has to be wood.

Unlike flimsy plastic hangers, or worse still, unpleasant wiry ones, well designed and good quality chrome hangers are not only durable and strong, but also look much more tasteful and elegant than their plastic and wire rivals. Wood also wears well and does not begin to peel paint unlike some plastic or metal hangers.

Another important advantage of using a chrome hanger is that it is strong and doesn’t bend under the weight of a heavy garment. So not only do chrome hangers look great in the closet, and vamp up your closet's style, but they also perform perfectly well, are long lasting and strong. What more could anyone possibly want from their hangers?

Fun Children’s Hangers

We all need hangers to organize our clothes and help keep them neat and tidy. Everyone in the family uses hangers, from grandma to the kids. So how can children’s hangers be any different from hangers that everyone else uses? To understand this, it’s necessary to acknowledge how a well-designed product works. A well designed product must meet its objectives, solve the problems it was meant to solve, and also appeal to its target users. In the case of children’s hangers, the target audience is kids, so it must appeal to them, and what’s more, it also needs to work twice as hard to keep those tiny clothes hung up and the closet tidy!

If what most parents complain of is anything to do by, slippery and inefficient hangers are a real problem. Most hangers are not designed to hold to clothes according to their size, and their natural structure. A slippery hanger means that you hang clothes incorrectly and they no longer remain in a neat, ready-to-wear condition. A hanger that is too big or too small means that clothes do not fit properly and are hung incorrectly.

So, the result is that clothes either slip off and fall into a heap at the bottom of the closet, or they overstretch clothes and turn them into a misshapen garment. This may not be a problem for most kids, but for mums and dads, this can be a very real problem! Thankfully, you can get hangers that are specially designed for kid’s clothes.

Children’s hangers that have an extra grip can be very useful to keep those clothes hung up and keep the closet tidy. Kids’ hangers with an extra grippy coating are designed to hold on to the clothes, even the most slippery ones. This little additional feature can make all the difference when time is of the essence and you’re looking for the right outfit.

Another important factor in kids’ hangers is any extra features that allow for better organization, such as additional clasps or the ability to add more hangers, and organize clothes better. Organization of space is also an important thing, not just for kids, but for adults too. Hangers that allow you to save that precious closet space are always a bonus.

Most kids may not care about any of this, especially the part about keeping the closet tidy, but they might just care about how the hangers look! Would kids prefer a wiry plain old hanger or a boring wooden hanger over a brightly colored one? Maybe some would, but most children would prefer to have some color in their closets.

A good product is one that is not only functional, but appeals to its target user. So a good children’s clothes hanger is bound to be one that is colorful and can appeal to kids. Clothes hangers with super grippy coating, swiveling hooks to keep clothes on, proper sizes and a host of additional features for better organization are what make a truly great children’s hanger!
