I ran out of hanging space in my tiny closet before I spotted this simple $6 storage solution
It's so easy and effective


When we had our floor-to-ceiling wardrobes built, I requested to keep my hanging space compact so I don’t keep buying clothes I don’t need.
However, I have concluded that I simply do need more hanging space, and these tiny clever $6 hanger stackers from Amazon are exactly what I need to work with the built-ins I have. Instead of five hangers sitting on the rail, one after the other, five at a time are now stacked vertically.
It’s the perfect way to organize my small closet affordably and quickly.
Hanger stackers are a smart fix in compact closets
I’m not one for waste, so I didn’t want to get rid of my slim velvet hangers to buy a tiered hanging solution. This pack of 100 hanger connectors does the job by adapting what I already have.
I’m not the only one who loves this organizing idea. More than 3000 shoppers on Amazon bought these stackers in the last month alone, and it’s Amazon’s Choice, meaning this item is usually in stock, has a low rate of returns, and is highly rated. That is not a label retailers or digital shop-front owners can buy.
One shopper rated it five stars, adding they were so great, they’d be buying more, and explaining, ‘These work great! I use mostly wire hangers, not plastic or wooden. They are fantastic for use with them.
'The hooks are good and strong, and sturdy. I can easily hang five heavy shirts in one row. It is so easy to get your clothing on and off and save a ton of room in the closet.
'I am so happy with these and how affordable they are. I am planning to buy another box of them so I can use them in all my closets.’
Another happy shopper, Chris, adds, ‘This was a reorder for me. The clips make it easy to attach hangers and save space. They are easy to see, easy to use, sturdy, and strong plastic. I'd order them again if I needed more. One box goes a long way!’
What to shop
These ready-made tiered hangers have handy non-slip foam pads. This is a twin pack, giving you 12 hangers' worth of space, whilst only taking up two hanger widths on your rail. Also available in three-packs.
Reduce creasing and the space it takes to keep trousers folded and stacked in your closet, or reduce the horizontal space needed on your rail with tiered trousers hangers. Anti-slip ends make it a breeze to hang your trousers like this.
Use some of your hanging rail to attach this dual closet organizer, with space at the top for accessories, shoes, or folded clothes, and a hanging rail underneath. I love the clever functionality of this piece.
Every bedroom and upstairs bathroom door in my home has two of these discreet over-the-door metal hooks. I use them for dressing gowns, towels, hanging my outfit for the next day, and more. Simply clip on and they’re ready to use. No damage or drilling.
There are many uses for tension rods around the home, but I use them in tall but slim closets to add extra hanging space. This works well when hanging shorter items such as tops and trousers that are folded over. Measure your space to make sure it will fit and expand as far as possible so it doesn't collapse.
