I’ve always been a fan of the simple wire clothes hanger. It combines minimalism with just enough material that gives its function. It does this whilst at the same time creating clean lines that are aesthetically pleasing.
It’s so simple and perfectly designed there’s no need to mess with the form at all, but instead we can decorate the hangers to make them look even more beautiful than they already are.
I’ve recently moved a section of my most worn part of my wardrobe from a concealed cupboard to an open Hanging Wardrobe Rail. There are a number of benefits to this. I have easy access to my most worn pieces and they look fantastic suspended in mid air! But one of the necessities of creating a great exposed closet is having a uniform collection of hangers to display your attire on. I’ve tried wooden, plastic and fabric covered hangers before. I never liked the bulkiness of wood and the plastic hangers (mostly free from clothes stores) are all irregular in size, shape and colour. The fabric-covered hangers are very kitsch which does not suit my personal tastes. Wire hangers are sleek and sophisticated and very easy to customize.
Metal Wire Hangers (I am using coated wire hangers)Copper/Gold Spray Paint
Clean the wire hanger and place on newspaper ready to spray.
Spray one layer of paint on one side of the hanger, leave to dry and then turn over and spray the other side.
Once this is dry spray a second coat on each side ensuring they are fully dried before turning them over. Make sure non of the wet paint touches the newspaper as it will dry to the paint and you will be left with paper residue stuck onto the hanger.
Check over the hangers to make sure you haven’t missed any sections and continue to spray until the whole hanger is covered.
If copper isn’t your thing why not try using different coloured paints? Pastels, brights or neon colours could create a real impact. You could create a rainbow look or colour code your wardrobe with an array of complimentary colour combinations. Your imagination is the limit!
