The One Storage Essential Every Home Should Have, According To Martha Stewart

Closet organization might be the bane of some folks' wardrobes. From sourcing a shoe rack to put a stop to footwear cluttering the floor to scouring the internet for a no-fold solution to make laundry day just a little smoother, finding the right trick for your space isn't always easy. However, Martha Stewart offers a clever closet hack you didn't know you needed, and it is a simple and affordable method of tackling at least some of your wardrobe woes. In a clip from her show shared on her Youtube channel, Martha Stewart is shown speaking with Kevin Sharkey, Executive Vice President and Executive Director of Design at the Martha Stewart brand, about closet organization. When it came to collapsible clothing racks, Sharkey noted, "They're great. It folds up so I can put it in the closet, which is really convenient." Truly, collapsible garment racks can be quite versatile. So much so that Martha replies to Sharkey, saying, "Everybody should have one of these somewhere in their home."

Collapsible clothing racks provide additional rail space, whether you're in need of a storage solution temporarily or for the long term. Additionally, this clothing solution is renter-friendly, mobile, and compact. Whether you're searching for additional storage ideas for a small space, adding an extra rail to your closet, investing in a temporary solution next time you host a party, or simply want to level up your laundry game, the foldable garment rack could be the perfect addition to your space.

Adding a collapsible garment rack to your home arsenal could be your new storage savior. For example, you could pull out a foldable clothing rack and prop it up in your entertainment space as an easy-to-access coat rack for your guests. Gone are the days of stuffing your friends and family members' coats into your cramped coat closet alongside all of your personal gear. Instead, use a mobile temporary solution. In the conversation between Martha Stewart and Kevin Sharkey, the latter pointed out, "If we have a party or something similar, and I don't want to throw coats on the bed, I can use it instead."

However, a coat rack isn't the only use for this item. You might also consider using it as a genius clothing storage solution for a bedroom without a closet. Add style and storage space with an open rail in your bedroom or dorm to hang your favorite clothes and bags. Or, if you have a small closet, use this rail as an extra rack to maximize storage space. Alternatively, some homeowners enjoy these portable clothing racks in the laundry room, adding space to hang dry linens, steam a nice shirt, or dry items that may be too bulky for the dryer. Further, there are several clothing rack hacks that don't involve hanging clothes. Or, turn it into a plant hanger. Options can be as endless as your imagination.
