Turn A Towel Rack Into A Simple Hanging Storage Solution For Purse Clutter

Storing and displaying handbags and purses can be a challenge when you have limited closet space. While you could choose to reduce an impressive purse collection if it's become too large to accommodate, you could also find creative new ways to organize handbags in small spaces. If you have limited floor space, which eliminates the possibility of buying a new shelf or making full use of decluttering techniques that can change the game, you can use underutilized wall space instead. Installing floating wall shelves can make for a great display option, but there's a simpler solution. You can add a towel rack onto your wall and make a simple hanging storage solution to reduce piles of purse clutter and create the organized wardrobe of your dreams.

All you'll need for this hanging storage hack is a single towel rack/bar and S-hooks to hang your bags from. IKEA's KUNGSFORS S-hooks are great for an elegant, sleek look, and they're versatile enough to go with any towel bar you choose for your closet or room. An assortment of towel bars can be found at your local hardware store, so pick one that best matches your room or closet aesthetic. Prior to purchasing supplies, make sure you properly measure the area you plan on installing your new purse rack on. Towel bars come in a variety of materials and lengths, so you want to find one that will fit perfectly in the space. For installation, you'll also need a drill.

Installation can be pretty simple once you have all of the necessary materials. Simply unbox your chosen towel rack and place it in the spot you want to install it. Lightly mark your wall with a pencil so you know where to drill your holes to attach the bar. Make sure your holes are level with each other so the rack isn't crooked. When you're certain that everything is properly aligned, drill the holes and fasten the towel rack into place with screws. Once the towel rack is secured, take your S-hooks and hang them off of the bar. Hook your handbags and other accessories onto them, making it easier to find the perfect purse to complete your outfit for the day.

Picking the perfect towel rack can be the most difficult step of this simple hanging storage solution. As a secret organization weapon for not just bathrooms and closets, but for many other areas of your home, the often overlooked hardware comes in a variety of finishes, materials, and designs. Brass and gold-finished towel racks can add a layer of elegance and luxury to your closet wall, making it a perfect holding space for designer bags. A towel rack with ornate fasteners can make for a storage solution that's both functional and decorative. And if you find that one towel rack isn't enough to hold your extensive handbag collection, you can layer and install multiple towel racks on your wall to create a ladder-like hanging purse display.
