Portable Closet

There are many reasons you may be in need of a portable closet or a garment rack. If you’re having your closet redone by a professional, it can be a great temporary solution out in your bedroom for clothing storage.

Or, you can keep a portable closet in the basement year round for your out of season garments. They are also great to display clothing at art fairs or garage or yard sales, or as a temporary closet for out of town guests in your home.

Portable closets come in two varieties: plain garment racks that have no cover and simply offer a place to hang clothing, and racks that are enclosed, offering a semi-permanent solution to clothing storage needs. Many of these products fold up when not in use, so you can store them away in the basement, garage, or attic.

Organize.com has several very ingenious covered wardrobes that are multifunctional as portable closets. They are covered in canvas and come with a variety of additional functions.

One has an extra set of shelves for shoes or folded garments. Other have hooks on the outside, or pouches in which you can put shoes. Some have zippered closure, and others have ties, so you can roll the canvas flaps up and to the side, for easy access.

Their uncovered garment racks are also very nice. Some have adjustable shelving, and some no shelving at all. One is made with wicker for a very pretty look that won’t have to be hidden away.

This piece would be particularly nice in a mudroom as coat storage. Some of the racks even have double bars – hanging rods that come out of both sides, to hold double the clothing in not much more room.

For a laundry room solution (for items that need to drip dry or that have been ironed), a very simple garment rack on casters may be the way to go.

An extendable garment rack holds a lot of items, while a quick stand rack or a folding garment rack makes for quick and easy setup of your portable closet.
