Because I am a crafter, I am always needing hangers. Most of them I got when my tenants would leave behind stuff, and I scarfed them up like they were gold. My line of vest, still in the making, will soon fill most if not all of these.
But, even with a 6 by 6 foot walk in closet, my clothes take up one side and the vests half made take up the other. So, I got a $.97 curtain rod and nailed one side to the wall, hanging the other side on the shower rod. I now have hangers that are out of the way, and if they get a little wet, no worries.
You might want to try this if you are hanging up hand washed clothes, craft projects, or whatever you need a little more room for.
Hope this helps.
