Shoe Racks Blog

When it comes to closet storage multitasking products make the most out of a small space and help keep clothes in good shape. It only takes a few key organizational tools, depending on your wardrobe, to create storage that turns a closet bursting at it’s seams into a well organized space.

Hangers have gone beyond your basic plastic version. Hangers have gone high tech, designed to provide custom storage for certain pieces or save space. Hangers that store multiple pairs of pants at once or allow a suit jacket and slacks to be stored together are a good way save space and stay organized. Create convenient storage for accessories with hangers designed to store everything from scarves to ties.

Consider products that are good for the items they are meant to store as well as the rest of your closet, like the cedar shoe rack for 3-4 pairs of shoes. Durable cedar construction not only helps with unwanted shoe smell, but is also a good way to absorb moisture and odors, while warding off moths and mildew. This is a great way to refresh shoes and protect sweaters.

Make the most of every free bit of space with an over the door organizer that provides just the right kind of storage to suit your needs. A door shoe rack is an easy way to take that pile of shoes on your closet floor. Have a large bag collection? Try a hand bag rack that puts your favorite bags at your fingertips and allows you to see them all at once.

Don’t have enough room in your dresser? Try a hanging closet organizer with open shelves perfect for storing sweaters or skirts too delicate to hang up. Some organizers combine shoe storage with larger compartments so you get the best of both worlds!

Discover the Benefits of Cedar in and Around the Closet

Have you ever smelled cedar wood?  It has a beautiful aroma that smells woodsy and almost a little bit like cologne, but in a very natural way.  Cedar is available in the form of hangers, shoe racks and some people even line their entire closet with it. 

It has been known for years that cedar wood has some natural qualities that can benefit your clothes and shoes.  Here are some of the many benefits of cedar that you may not know about, and some suggestions of how to use it in your closet. 

1. Smell and Deodorize: Cedar is a scented wood.  As said before, the aroma that the natural cedar oil gives off is very fresh and natural.  If you keep your shoes in the closet, you can combat the stale old shoe smell with many different cedar products.  Here are some inexpensive cedar aroma blocks that you can literally toss anywhere, in your closet organizer or boxes of out-of-season clothes, and you can even toss them right into your shoes to freshen.  I also like cedar rings which slip onto the top of your clothes hangers – great for deodorizing the closet. 
2. Insect Repellent:  Cedar wood oil is a natural insect repellent.  That is why many people line their entire closet with cedar planks – it keeps moths and even fleas away, saving your clothes from insect damage. 
3. Durability:  Cedar wood is also decay resistant, so you can be sure that it will last for many years.  It is also very sturdy yet lightweight, that is why a lot of patio furniture is made of cedar.  Here is a beautiful cedar shoe rack that I really like from StacksAndStacks.com – it’s a great one for anywhere in the house: the closet, in the entry or hallway, and even right outside the door. 

Aroma Tip:  To renew the beautiful aroma of cedar, simply sand the wood lightly with a fine sandpaper.
