tangled


let face it, your closet is messy.
come on you can admit it.
its spring and you know you walk by the closet and cringe at the thought of opening it. closets are notorious for a mélange tangled hangers; a perennial problem for spring cleaners. bold enough to brag about your closet that is big enough to walk around in? you're just like everyone else except your problem is bigger. wire hangers get caught in each other's hooks, and clothes have a way of sliding off plastic hangers. and slowly we just close our eyes + say goodbye as we shut, slide and in some cases.... slam the doors shut. i won’t elaborate much more, it’s my problem too. never fear! new hangers designed to hold onto their charges, with shapes that contain not only shirts and trousers but also ties, scarves, belts, fur coats — even blankets and comforters.

detangler number one manages to do the heavy lifting without taking up extra space. huggable hangers, for example, have a velvet-like surface that holds garments in place, yet the hangers are as thin as wire. the velvety surface on huggable hangers adds traction to slippery slopes. the hangers are sturdy enough to hold coats and they come in a variety of colors and shapes, including one with multiple bars for trousers. a set of 20 is $24.95 US from hsn.


hanging boot shapers clear the floor for other shoes. a pair is $9.79 US from the
container store.

blankets can be smartly stowed away for spring on the sturdy comforter hanger $7.99 US from hanger city.



or wood hangers with animal heads are $11.99 for four from the containter store.
