 Huggable Hangars for small clothes closets
It's the change of season here in Boston which means time to overhaul the clothes closet and I want to share a new product for small closets that's just come out this year which I'm REALLY EXCITED about.
It's the huggable hanger. I have always said that using just one type of hanger in a closet helps to expand your space and even the most skeptical of clients has been amazed at the difference just the consistency of a hanger, regardless of style, can make.
But now they truly have finally invented the "perfect" hanger for small closet spaces. It's as slim as those wire hangers you get from the drycleaners but its flocked coating prevents even the silkiest of blouses from slipping off and its curved edges prevent hanger humps on the shoulders of your knits AND they are so strong they don't bend when you hang a jacket.
If you have large walk-in closets you can keep your lovely wood hangers but for those living with teeny, tiny closets, the huggable hanger is definitely the latest and greatest product out there to increase your closet space even before you start your closet purge.
You can find them at the container store or order on-line. Beware of "copies" though as the flocking may come off on your clothes or you may find they are not as strong. Pay the few extra cents for the real thing -- they are a great product.
More tips to come on expanding your closet space -- stay tuned.

TV Shows I enjoy
- Small Space, Big Style on HGTV
This show makes me dream of living in an even smaller apartment just to see how creative I could be.
- Mission Organization, HGTV
We all know it doesn't happen in a half-hour, but this show does do a great job of showing just what can happen when a professional organizer works with a willing client. Magic!!
- NEAT, HGTV
Sadly you can only catch repeats of this one, but Helen was my first on-camera organizing coach and as I told her when I met her at the POC in Toronto last year, she was an inspiration!!
