Clothes Rail Wardrobes

Organise Your Belongings With Clothes Rail Holders and Wardrobes

When you have a lot of clothes to keep tidy, additional wardrobe rails are very useful. Mounting a rail in your wardrobe gives you plenty of space to hang your shirts, jackets, trousers, dresses, and more.

How to find the right clothes rail hardware

If you're looking to add clothes rail holders in your wardrobe, take the time to look for compatible parts. There are a lot of different clothes rail systems, so some rods may not work with certain brackets. Check the manufacturer's site for details about a product's dimensions and shape so that you can pick brackets, screws, and rods that are compatible with each other. You'll also need to remember to compare the clothes rail size to your wardrobe size so that you can find hardware that fits inside of your wardrobe.

How many clothes rails do you need inside a wardrobe?

This will entirely depend on the height and depth of your wardrobe. For particularly deep wardrobes, you might want to hang two rails side by side. This lets you put your unused clothes in the back and your regular clothes in the front. Another option is hanging multiple rows of wardrobe rails a metre or two apart. This tends to work best when you're storing shirts, skirts, and other shorter items that won't hang down on top of each other.

Where to install wardrobe rails

Some wardrobe rail holders mount on the top of the wardrobe so that you can hang a rod off of them. Others mount on the side of the wardrobe and hold a rod with tension. Each product may have a slightly different procedure, so refer to the manufacturer's instructions. When deciding between the two styles, consider your wardrobe. If the sides are too thin, you might not be able to use side-mounted ones without the screws showing through the exterior. However, top-mounted ones only work on wardrobes with a top that can support a heavy weight.

Does clothes rail material matter?

As you shop for wardrobe rails, consider the material that the rod is made from. Plastic is typically very budget-friendly, so it's a good option if you want something affordable. Wood rails are quite sturdy and can be cut to fit the wardrobe width. If you want something adjustable, check out metal rods that can expand and contract as needed.
