Wall Mounted Hanging Rack

While wall mounted hanging racks used to be primarily functional, they’ve come back in popularity thanks to their #instagrammable potential: who hasn’t dreamed of creating a Pinterest-style capsule wardrobe?

Plus, if you’re a minimalist or trying to cut down on fast fashion, a wall hanger for clothes will also help you keep them always under control instead of having an excuse to buy more and just hide them at the bottom of your wardrobe.

But how to choose one? Well, it really depends on how many clothes you own and whether or not you’re planning on buying more.

To give you a starting point, between 22" and 24" is usually the sweet spot in most cases.

Or you could play it safe by hanging all the garments that will be destined to your new wall clothes hanger (either in your wardrobe or on any kind of rod) to measure them.

Basic wall hanger for clothes

At the end (and, especially, the start) of the day, a wall mounted hanging rack is there to showcase your clothes: they are the star of the show.

That’s why you could easily opt for a basic wall hanger in a simple horizontal design.

For a consistent feel, just be sure to choose it in a hue that’s already present elsewhere in your room.

More minimalist wall clothes hanger

Only planning on using your new wall mounted hanging rack for six garments or so?

Then instead of the most popular design with attachments at both ends, it’d make more sense to choose a smaller hanger with a single one in the middle.

This is also a practical option if you don’t particularly want the hanger side of things to be too noticeable on your wall.

Double wall mounted clothes rack

Instead of an extra long wall mounted hanging rack, how about a set of two smaller or medium-sized ones?

There are many situations where this would be a much more practical idea.

For example, it’d help you keep two types of clothes separated (e.g. formal and casual, summer and winter, dresses and shirts or trousers…), and it’d also prevent future arguments if you’ll be sharing it with your partner.

Corner wall mounted clothes hanger for small bedrooms

Is your bedroom already filled with furniture? Or perhaps you’ve managed to maintain a minimalist approach but it’s just so narrow that you don’t think you’ll be able to fit a wall mounted hanging rack?

Here’s the solution: compact corner models.

By making the most of that spot, you’ll still get more hanging space than you would with a rod in the same length but a straight design (magical!).

Industrial clothes hanger wall mount

Due to their raw and unfinished feel, wall mounted hanging racks and industrial decor go hand in hand.

A simple design in a dark, neutral, or metal finish will already help you emphasize it. Still, if you’re obsessed with this style, take things further: a metal design made to look like an actual pipe is the industrial clothes hanger par excellence.

Wall mounted clothes hanger rod in an irregular shape

A small disruption to the most predictable symmetrical shapes is enough to make a noticeable decorative statement.

By featuring two sections at slightly different heights, this type of wall mounted clothes hanger is also ideal to separate your garments. For example, keeping shirts and sweaters on the lowest one and longer dresses on the upper section will create a pleasant visual flow.

Do you like the idea of disrupting traditional shapes? Then let’s take it one step further: you can break free from horizontal designs altogether and find the right shapes for your artistic flair.

Obviously, your clothes would end up falling towards the lowest part of the rod, so keep in mind that this choice will involve other types of hangers (such as one with lots of smaller circular spots for individual garments).

Wall hanger for clothes with top shelf

Your new clothes rack can be the perfect chance to make the most of that small section of your wall. Since you’ll already be taking up some space with a rod, have you considered adding a shelf, too?

There are quite a few designs that incorporate both elements in a space-saving way. Perfect to add a few books or decorative items in that corner!

Decorative wooden shelf with wall hanger for clothes

If you’re intrigued by the idea of a wall mounted hanging rack with a shelf, don’t forget that you can make it more decorative too, if you prefer.

For example, this could involve a more ornate design or a wooden shelf in a natural finish.

As long as the shelf is cohesive with the rest of your bedroom furniture, we bet it’ll look super stylish and quirky.

Large wall mounted hanging rack

Traditional wall mounted hanging rods are the most logical choice in two cases: you either already have a separate wardrobe for the rest of your clothes or you have so few that you can actually store them all on it.

If, on the other hand, yours wouldn’t fit but you also haven’t got a wardrobe just yet, have you considered a double rack instead?

Definitely a creative choice for anyone who can’t get enough of their clothes and would like to showcase all of them.

Our advice Buying Guide

A wall-mounted hanging rack can go a long way toward helping your organization. The simplest application is a row of pegs on which to hang coats and other items as family members arrive home. More complex applications of a hanging rack include a hanging spice rack, wine glass holders, a rack for wine bottles, mail slots, magazine racks, and even communication boards. Let’s see how some of those things might work.

What different types of wall-mounted hanging racks are there to choose from?

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.
