Maximize Closet Space
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Ron_N_Maier]Ron N Maier

Just about every closet could use a little help. There are many useful types of closet shelves that can help create extra storage. But what if you just need more hanging space? Using specific types of hangers can help you create up to double the space that you had before. The trick is choosing your hangers and hanger accessories wisely. Inform yourself of your choices before you buy.

One popular choice is the Slim-Line hanger. These hangers have a velvety finish, chrome or nickel hooks, and have a good curvature to the shoulders. This shape helps keep your wardrobe from getting stretched out and also helps keep your clothing from slipping off on to the floor. Slim-Line hangers are thick and sturdy, but have are almost completely flat. You can hang many items of clothing close together, creating space where you may not have had it before.

Take it one step further. Get the hanger accessories to maximize the space that you have created. You can purchase Slim-Line clips to hold those clothes that like to slip no matter what type of hanger you put them on. Cascading hooks can be added to Slim-Line hangers. They allow you to hang other hangers from existing ones, layering outfits so that you are ready to go at a moment's notice. They also help add space to the hanging bar. Shoulder Shapers are also popular for shirts and dresses with wide neck openings. They are also good for preventing coats and blazers from losing their shape at the shoulder. You can also add multi pant Slim-Line hangers to keep your pants hung without using very much space.

If you would like a sturdy alternative to Slim-Line hangers, consider durable metal hangers. Make sure that you get high quality metal, like polished chrome or nickel, not those old floppy wire hangers that can snag clothing, bend and overlap creating more damage and frustration than space. Today's metal hangers can give your closet a sleek, minimalist look and a modern urban feel. Their flat design allows you to hang your clothes very close together without the hooks overlapping and getting tangled. These hangers are very hard to bend and can hold a lot of weight without collapsing.

Again, choose types of metal hangers that can create more space. Cascading hangers that keep pants wrinkle free while freeing up lots of space are a good place to start. Notched metal hangers keep smaller straps from slipping. Skirt hangers have no slip, no damage clips. You can even get vinyl covered non-slip metal hangers if you would like. Open ended pants hangers make getting pants out of a tight closet a snap. Consider drop hanger attachments for keeping outfits together. These metal hangers allow you to hang the pants and shirt on one apparatus.

Choosing the right hangers and hanger accessories can create space where you did not know you had it before. Slim-Line and sturdy metal hangers are great choices for streamlining your closet. Maximizing space by adjusting the types of hangers you have is an easy and inexpensive way of making the most of a small closet without sacrificing style or durability.
