Declutter Your Laundry Room With A Sleek Vanishing Rack To Keep Items In Order

Although your laundry room probably isn't a space where you're spending more than a few hours each week, its functionality is essential, and for more than just putting clothes in the wash. The cabinets and storage solutions in this part of the house can quickly fill up with clutter, as can the hanger space you have on hand for drying clothes. It might feel impossible to give your laundry room an appealing design, especially if wire shelving or drying racks are occupying a lot of the room's square footage. However, upgrading this area of your home might not be quite as challenging as it seems.

If you're looking for a neat way to declutter your laundry room, you might want to consider using a vanishing rack, like the VIKAQI Wall Mounted Clothes Drying Rack. These wall-mounted installations typically feature a set of collapsible metal rods that you can fold up once you're ready to move your clothes to your dresser or closet. This fixture ensures that you won't have to look at an empty drying rack that takes up an unnecessary amount of space when you aren't in the process of doing laundry. Collapsible drying racks don't take too long to set up, and are a perfect fit for homes that favor minimalist decor and design.

How to replace the drying rack in your laundry room

If you have drying racks or hanger rods in your laundry room that are fixed in place, they're probably occupying a lot of overhead space when they're not in use. Replacing these old furnishings with a vanishing drying rack can aid in creating a cleaner, more open design for your laundry room that makes decluttering your home less of a hassle. Depending on the situation, it might also make it easier to move about the space, improving its functionality.

To replace your existing drying rack with a more practical one, you'll first need to carefully take down the current fixture. When you pick a position for the new rack, make sure it won't be jutting out into the doorway or creating an obstruction when it's unfolded. Next, mark exactly where you should drill into your wall by either measuring the distance between the installation's screw brackets or by using a drill template, if the product includes one. Find your wall studs and position the main panel so that it attaches to them – this will help to ensure that the new hanging is more secure. Consider using a level to guarantee that everything lines up perfectly, as this can prevent unnecessary damage to your wall from having to drill in more than once.
