Clothing Racks

Benefits Of Clothing Racks

As retail fixtures, clothing racks serve many functions. They don't only increase storage space but also add to the overall décor. Additionally, retail outlets use garment racks to add a designer touch to their interior space and play upon the overall ambiance of their establishment.

While armoires take up a lot of space, a few clothing rails can house the same amount of items in half the space; therefore, they're also good at decluttering a room. Also, many establishments rely on an industrial clothing rack or a warehouse garment rack which comes with additional storage options. Clothing racks are also easy to move since they're lightweight and fit inside just about any room size. 

Types of Clothing Racks

Clothing racks come in different shapes and sizes depending on the type of clothing that needs to be hung or stored. So whether it's pants, dresses, shirts, or coats, there's a garment rack for every piece of clothing. Furthermore, the expected footfall also contributes to the kind of rack that outlets install. If a store faces a barrage of youthful traffic that bumps and scrapes, it is integral to choose a heavy-duty clothes rack made of stainless steel.

Similarly, if the rack is meant for personal use and to fulfill aesthetic requirements, one should invest in a bamboo or a portable clothes rack.

Stainless Steel Clothes Racks

Stainless steel racks are the most common type of clothing bar. At its simplest, it is just one bar to hang clothing on. In contrast, double-bar racks are two rods or bars placed together, or at times, parallel to each other. As a result, users will only see the front row; however, these tend to get cluttered. 

Folding Garment Racks

There are also clothes racks with multiple rods that can be folded and stretched out as per convenience. These are best for hanging laundry or miscellaneous clothing items like socks, making them perfect for drying applications.

Spiral Clothing Racks

Spiral clothing racks are a typical fixture in many retail outlets. They allow for the efficient storage of several different kinds of clothing items simultaneously. These can also contain circular racks with hooks for fragile items like belts, scarves, and ties. 

Bamboo Clothing Rack

A bamboo or a wood clothes rack can add a natural, organic touch while offering a lightweight and durable alternative to metal rod racks. Additionally, bamboo rods can function on their own as clothing rails as well.

Freestanding Clothes Racks

Freestanding clothes racks can be fitted in corners and edges without remodeling, making them useful for those living in small spaces. They're efficient, easy-to-assemble, and inexpensive. In addition, their adjustable rods can be removed and repositioned to closets and racks to make space for different storage pieces. 

Swimwear Racks

Adjustable shelves and display cabinets add an extra layer of versatility to store accessories, such as swimwear and shoes. Swimwear racks also come as standalone items, being used exclusively to hang swimwear and undergarments.

Factors To Consider

Let's take a look at some of the factors to consider before investing in a clothing rack system:

Size Of Rack

The choice of clothing racks depends on the type of clothing and the number of articles stored or displayed. Furthermore, there should be at least a few inches of room on both sides of the rack after all clothing pieces have been kept. 

Weight Of Clothes

The weight and the volume of the clothes need to be factored in. For example, coats and jackets tend to weigh more, mainly when they're made of materials like leather or denim. In that case, a heavy-duty clothing rack should be the best bet. Smaller pieces like shirts, standard clothing rods, or even Slatwall displays should work.

Style

If the clothes rack is expected to blend with its surroundings, it should complement the room's colors. For instance, if the room has muted hues, selecting a bright neon rack will make it stand out even more. 

However, most clothing outlets want the focus to be on the clothes and not the rack, in which case, they go for dull colors like grey or black. A wood-toned or iron rack would be the best option in this case as it can go with just about any merchandise color, clothing collection, and even graphics & signage.

Material

As for the choice of materials, wood, metal, and plastic can all be used to make garment racks. There are numerous styling options within these materials as well. For example, metal can be used for industrial clothing racks, antique iron racks, or minimalistic steel racks. 

Cloth racks, although unheard of, are ideal for portable rack options while traveling. In contrast, wooden racks are durable and lightweight options for retail shelving units.
