It is a constant struggle to maintain an elegant home while still having space to put everything. We all have a dream of how our homes ought to be. “If only the builders had put this wall over here, or a built-in shoe rack under the stairs it would all work out”, we think. Unless you are ready for expensive renovations to have that wall added or removed here are a few relatively low cost ways to increase the storage capacity and classiness of you home.

In an entry way consider adding a storage bench. This really maximizes the value of your furniture. For smaller entry areas you can even get a triangular corner bench that will tuck away nicely off to the side. Shoe racks come in almost any size and are an essential for a closet in this part of your home. Wall hung coat hangers, or a coat tree can free up even more valuable space in closets.

If kitchen cabinets are chockablock full get some of those bigger pots and pans out of there and hang them up. If there is wall space you can use hooks or wall hangers. A quick look through any kitchen design magazine will fill you with space saving ideas in this area.

Install track lighting and get rid of floor lamps. Track lighting is available in a myriad of styles and colors to fit any taste and match any home. Being able to direct light anywhere you want can also help create a better atmosphere in a room.

Get a few more towels on the wall by adding another towel hanger or two as wall space allows. You could also hang an extra storage cabinet. Smaller size cabinets made especially for bathrooms are available at most home stores in stock with a variety of styles to choose from. These cabinets are great decorations with glass doors or mirrors and more importantly help keep bathroom counters clear of hair products, mouthwash, deodorants and perfumes.

A cluttered life does not lend itself to enjoyment. In the end if may be best to just let go of some things. With a little effort and creativity you can have a clutter free home and that is better than being surrounded by mountains of possessions.

Maximize Your Closet Space with Slim Line Hangers

Do you have problems with closet storage space? Do you dread sorting through your clothes in the morning to get dressed? If you have been training with Olympic wrestlers just to be able to pull clothes out of your closet than this new type of hanger is for you. Closets in small apartments and older homes are often quite small and can seriously constrain your wardrobe. If you feel like you do not have enough space to store all the clothes you would like to wear throughout the year there is a solution. Slim line hangers can double or even triple the storage capacity of any closet. An organized wardrobe can save you time getting ready in the morning.

With a more streamlined look than traditional wooden hangers and a classier feel than metal or wire hangers the slim line hangers can turn a bursting at the seams wardrobe into a neat and tidy dressing environment. Their narrow design enables clothes to hang closer together while at the same time preserving their shape. Even at a ¼” width they are strong enough to hold heavy winter coats. They come in a regular size 17” length and a 12” length for childrens hangers.

Sifting through clothes when trying to decide what to wear is a daily chore. Often clothes end up falling off bulky plastic hangers as they get rifled through. The continuous clean up is frustrating and time consuming. An added feature of the slim line hanger is a velvety surface on top of the hanger. This can prevent even the daintiest garments, such as an evening dress or lingerie, from falling off the hanger.

Many people have more pants than shirts. One type of slim line hanger allows you to match up multiple pairs of pants with a single shirt. The slim line multi pant hanger provides hanging space for up to four pairs of pants. Another alternative is to add a hook to a regular hanger to hold another shirt.

You will save hours of closet management time and eliminate one source of stress. From getting ready in the morning, when time is at a premium, to putting away clean laundry in the evening slim line hangers can make it easier.

Three Accessories Your Retail Clothing Store Must Have

Retail clothing is a cut throat business. Your store needs to operate at peak performance to capture market share in your area. Employees perform thousands of small tasks each day, so it is crucial streamlined procedures are in place. Organizing you store so employees can work at maximum efficiency is equally important. These three tools can keep your store running like a well oiled retail machine, and prevent chaotic work flow. Here is how this modest investment can return thousands of dollars.

The hanger stacker is an absolute essential for any retail clothing store. This device is the best way to store extra hangers around your store. Its unique shape can accommodate all types of clothes hangers, and stores them in a way that prevents tangling. Most models can be purchased for less than $20. Place them at discreet locations around your store so employees will never have to go far to find or replace excess hangers. With hangers readily available your staff can remain on the sales floor by eliminating trips to the back room to retrieve and store hangers. Another great spot is behind the cashiers’ counters where clothes hangers are constantly piling up from customer purchases. With a hanger stacker you can move hundreds of hangers anywhere your store with ease.

If you are maximizing your stores capacity you probably have garments hung on walls and storage racks in high places. A hanger retriever can save employees hours of time over the course of the day by providing quick access to those hard to reach places. Hanger retrievers can be purchased between $18 to $20 dollars. An adjustable model gives a reach between three and five feet. With a hanger retriever there is no need to clutter your store with step stools and ladders.

The scourge of most fashion outlets is piles of clothes under garment racks. Clothes get bumped as customers move up and down the aisles and can easily fall off a hanger. Items lying on the floor can get walked on, dirty and damaged. This gives an atmosphere employees constantly have to pick up and re-hang items. Use of hanger covers can turn this into a thing of the past. Hanger covers are foam or rubber strips that can be slid on or stuck to any clothes hangers and increase the hanger garment friction ratio. An investment of 15 cents each can save your store thousands of dollars in damaged clothing, and provides a cleaner store presentation.
