When it comes to closet organization, typically my clients struggle with having too much clothing in a small space. Yes, in rare cases it’s too much clothing in a large space. More often than not, however, we’re working with a small amount of real estate and too much clothing. Obviously, our first order of business is purging, then I’m left to put everything away. Over the years, I’ve learned tips and tricks for making the most of any space. Sometimes these tricks include a product, sometimes not. We’re all familiar with slim-line hangers that give us more “width” space in a closet. These allow us to have a bit more clothing because the hanger isn’t as bulky as the standard design. But I recently discovered a hanger that not only gives you more room width-wise…this company literally revolutionized the hanger to give you more space length-wise too!

And this photo explains it all…

It also begs the question, “Why didn’t I think of that?!”. Right?

Meet Higher Hangers, your new space-saving hanger…

Higher Hangers are a new product, now on Kickstarter! I was not surprised to learn they are already at 130% of goal and have 350 backers. The hangers are available for preorder till March 31st, with limited availability of up to 50% off.

They work by lowering the hanger hook, which raises clothing higher, closer to the closet rod, creating new space underneath. The design maximizes efficiency while retaining function with all styles of clothing, including collared shirts.

Look in any closet and you’ll see a huge gap between the clothing and the rod. Case and point = see all the space between the rod and where the shirts begin?…

That’s a solid 5″ of wasted space. For decades, we’ve been living with a standard hanger design…

Leave it to a college student living in the dorms to come up with this genius space-saving idea!…

Nothing gets smaller than a dorm room. Higher Hangers safely hang your clothing while minimizing the amount of wasted space. This results in a completely new, versatile hanger design that’s directly replaceable with what’s in your closet today. So simple! And you guys know I’m all about simple organization ideas and solutions.

An average master closet measures about 8′ wide with an upper and lower clothing rod. Regardless of closet size, Higher Hangers create more than 10% of new useful closet space. How? By raising your clothing up by 4-5″ per row. Here’s a side x side example…

Last week I tried Higher Hangers in a closet and was blown away by the results. We not only created more space above this top clothing rod…

I was also able to keep the clothing on the top rod from getting tangled in the clothing on the bottom rod…

And I was able to create space on the bottom of the closet for additional storage! Before…

After…

Something as simple as hanger design and we’ve solved 2 problems and added much-needed space!

Higher Hangers are slimline velvet hangers, so not to worry – you’re still saving space width-wise in your closet. What you’ll gain is also more space length-wise! Here’s the same shirt on a standard hanger…

You can see it touching the bottom rod, too…

Now on a Higher Hanger…

Not touching that bottom rod or getting snagged by the lower hangers anymore!…

After the top row of hangers was changed out…

And now the bottom row as well…

As a professional organizer, I’m stunned with the amount of space I was able to create. No need to renovate the closet, it’s as simple as purchasing the correct hanger.

This weekend I searched through my list of clients with small closets and sent them an e-mail about this product because I know they will benefit. Remember this closet I organized last summer?…

Her closets were a custom build-out but the rods are too close together. I did my very best in her space but these hangers will be a game changer!

All you need to create more closet space is to replace your hangers with Higher Hangers. They’re available in 2 premium styles: black velvet coated (non-slip) slimline and clean luxurious white HDF wood, both with chrome metal hooks…

I love the non-slip velvet hanger because it works perfectly for dresses, pants, spaghetti strap tops or anything that tends to fall off a plastic hanger. Even collared shirts and jackets hang perfectly on this hanger.

Remember, if you can’t wait and want to pre-order now – you can do so here on the Kickstarter page!
