Upgrade Your Closet With Wooden Hangers

If you are tired of the old boring wire hangers or you have just renovated your closet then it might be time to upgrade to classier wooden hangers. These hangers fall into three categories: Regular Wood Hangers, Cedar Hangers, and Bamboo Hangers. These hangers can hold a shirt or pair of pants or a combo variety that holds both. Here are a few details about each type to help you make your selection.

Wooden hangers allow for a variance of stains from dark woods to lighter woods which you will be able to match your closet shelving and cabinetry. Of course they can be painted any color, and their elegant shape will add to your closet’s style. They are strong and will not break easily if dropped or manhandled, unlike plastic hangers. For childrens hangers consider painting them with a theme such as Walt Disney princesses, trucks and cars, or a space theme.

If you have a musty closet you might want to try a cedar hanger. Cedar hangers have a lovely scent and can protect your clothes from insect damage. Mothballs are pesticides and their vapors apart from being malodorous are unhealthy, especially to children. The properties of cedar will repel moths without having to expose your family to danger. Placing cedar planks in a dresser can accomplish the same preserving and scenting effects for those clothes you have folded. Since, they are a softer species of wood they may dent slightly easier than other hangers.

The bamboo tree is one of the fastest growing trees on the planet and some species grow up to 1 meter a day. It is used to make just about anything from building materials, flooring, furniture, and even clothing and clothes hangers. Bamboo hangers may be the right choice if you are environmentally conscious, since they come from a sustainable resource. The unique wood grain of bamboo has style unlike any other wood. This hard wood hanger is among the strongest and sturdiest available and will not dent.

Daintier garments, such as a nice evening gown or lingerie, may be prone to falling off wood hangers. This can be easily remedied using anti slip hanger covers. These strips of plastic or foam can be stick on or slip over any type of hanger and will keep clothes from falling off.
