There are numerous types and designs of wall-mounted hanging racks available, each serving a different function around the house or office:
The Coat Rack
A coat rack is a simple wall hanging. Sometimes it is a row of horizontal pegs, but sometimes it is more elaborate. It can require the coats to be hung on the pegs, or it can accommodate coat hangers. Some racks include a space for a hat or other objects to be placed. Having something of this nature in your entryway facilitates keeping track of outdoor gear.
A Spice Rack
Suspended on a rail near the stove, you’ll not have to search for your favorite culinary herbs and spices – they will be at hand. Hang several in a row, or stagger them for an eye-catching arrangement. They will make it easy to keep track of those little boxes and bottles that always seem to be somewhere besides where you want them.
Wine Glass Holder
Suspend is the word here. Stemware is easy to break and hard to keep safe, but if you hang your wine glass holder from the ceiling in a corner that is out of the general traffic in the room, you can keep you fine glassware at hand. They will double as a decorative feature, as will the holder. Incorporate a wild, west theme, or an elegant bit of scrollwork for some added interest.
Wine Bottle Holder
Don’t stop with the wine glasses – add a wine rack, too. With the wine properly stowed on its side in well-wrapped bottles, you are always ready to entertain. All you need is a decorative ice bucket, which can have its own little hanging shelf.
Mail rack
Hang a set of cubbyholes for household mail, and put an end to, “Did you see my blank in the mail?” (Fill in blank to suit yourself.) Make it a habit to sort the mail into items for individuals, house bills, and circulars as they arrive. Be sure to include a bin for recycling. Add a communication board where messages can be written, thumbtacked or fastened with magnets.
Home for your magazines
If you subscribe to magazines that you enjoy, especially if they have how-to articles or crafts that you wish to recreate, a hanging set of magazine slots will keep your collection from becoming clutter. As many readers say, it isn’t having too many magazines, it is not having a place to put them.
You don’t have to live with a disorganized, cluttered home. You can make a huge difference by utilizing wall space or even by hanging things from the ceiling. The more items get put away in a special place, the fewer are scattered, potentially becoming lost.
