Living in a small space forces you to get creative. No storage space? Mount some floating shelves and invest in under-the-bed boxes. Tiny kitchen? Buy a portable island [1] that doubles as a bar cart.
The one problem that's a little tougher to solve? A lack of closet space. No amount of tidying up Marie Kondo [2]-style will help — you really need somewhere to stash everything from your Winter sweaters to sparkly dresses. That's where clothing racks come in. These free-standing organizers serve as a stand-in for closets, keeping your clothing organized without taking up as much room as an extra dresser. They can even look like a stylistic choice — if you pick a well-designed garment rack and hang your clothes thoughtfully. Here are 16 of the best options for garment racks that double as decor.
Cameron Clothing Rack
The pale lilac color of the Cameron Clothing Rack [3] ($149) adds a little pizzazz to an otherwise sleek garment rack. It also comes in black, if pastels aren't your thing.
