Clothes hangers are probably not something you actively think about - but they have a lot of potential. Here are five models that will make your everyday life easier.
We spend hours searching for the hoover with the most powerful battery, the blender with the sharpest blades and the toothbrush with the most efficient bristles. But when it comes to clothes hangers, our love of detail for household items suddenly stops. Sure - it may be more exciting to compare motor power and vibration frequencies rather than the form and function of an inconspicuous tidying helper. But when you can store your belts neatly and within easy reach and your one-shoulder top finally stops slipping off the hanger, you quickly realise: everyday luxury is sometimes hidden in the most mundane purchases.
Here are five really useful clothes hangers that I no longer want to do without.
1. more storage space, more organisation
Four skirts or trousers can be hung on this multiple hanger from Zeller Present. This not only saves space in my wardrobe, but also allows me to organise my clothes neatly. The rubberised clips are also non-slip and can be moved around. A simple but effective product.
2. functional decoration
The «Apply» model from Hübsch is an eye-catcher - almost too beautiful to be hidden away in the wardrobe. With its stylish design and robust weight, the iron hanger has a particularly high-quality look. The wide support surface is perfect for jackets, while the crossbar can be used to hang scarves, for example. Thanks to the non-slip surface, these also stay securely in place. A great choice for open wardrobes in the entrance area.
3. no more belt chaos
I never really knew what to do with my belts. Roll them up? Tedious and can cause creases. Hang them over the crossbar of the hanger? They always slide down there. In the end, they were randomly distributed in different places in my flat - until I finally discovered that there is such a thing as belt holders. In my opinion, it's worth buying them even if you only have a few belts; you can also hang hair ties or ties on them.
4. a wooden ring for bits and bobs
Yes, this is indeed a hanging hanger, an extremely versatile one at that. Bags, hair ties, foulards, bangles - all the things that conventional hangers are usually unsuitable for will find a safe place on this pretty wooden ring. If you ask me, it's a great help for keeping fashionable odds and ends organised. Also comes in a practical pack of three.
5. velvet for difficult cases
Anybody who wears more than just simple T-shirts knows them all too well: the problem tops that - poof - just slip off the hanger. But you don't need an iron fist to discipline them, you need velvet gloves. For tops that are difficult to hang up, I simply use hangers with a velvety surface. Even very smooth textiles and tops with special cut-outs can be hung on them.
