Reddit mentions of AmazonBasics Slim, Velvet, Non-Slip Clothes Suit Hangers, Black/Silver - Pack of 50

We just tore out cheap, clumsy shelving in our small walk-through closet (5’ x 6’), pulled up the carpet and put down hardwood, painted over the buttercup yellow to a cool grey, put two 50” wide dressers on each side (one side for me, one for my SO), and installed a simple rod and single overhead shelf system on each side. I just received a box of 100 Amazon basics velvet hangers and little 5” deep bins for konmari-ing the dresser and top shelf. I ordered a minimalist ceiling light from Ikea and I’m picking out a tiny little rug for the space too.

It’s still small, with very little space for shoes, no space for handbags, but holy hell. It’s crazy how enamored I feel with just a NORMAL closet. I guess it’s been years and years since I’ve had access to a closet like this — no weird cubbies or awkward attic type spaces, no annoying bifold doors, no making-do with a freestanding clothing rack in the corner of the bedroom. It’s absolute heaven. I’m going to start hanging and folding clothes this weekend and I’m so excited.

This is the only before photo I have: https://imgur.com/a/L07u4tZ

We’re still not totally “after” and don’t have a decent photo to show off the new flooring, but this is where we are now in the process. It’s wild how a few small changes make a world of difference: https://imgur.com/a/QMRR8y1

Ehh on the wire hangers. I use them for my silk camisoles and cotton button ups since the camisoles don't have much fabric on the shoulders to mess them up, and the cotton shirts are less likely to get damaged as well from them. As long as you aren't hanging up knits, it's not that big of a deal.

That said, I have several types of hangers in my closet. AmazonBasics Velvet Suit Hangers - 50 Pack, Black, ate what u have the most of and ive never had a problem with them. The other type is the super padded stuffed hangers and those are for my delicate dresses but idk if they're worth it.

If you have a small closet, these hangers save a lot of space. The velvet on them keeps clothes from slipping, but they are super thin compared to regular plastic hangers and save space. There are also hangers where you can hang like 5 pair of pants on 1 hanger which is a great space saver.

Lots of good tips here already! My personal ones are;

• Skinny velvet hangers - I have these from Amazon. They make a surprising difference.
  
• Fold tops, pants, skirts, workout clothes the Konmari way - like this. - you can see everything at a glance and I find it to fit things a bit better.
  
• Underwear and socks - I found out that I was hoarding them like crazy for no reason. I do laundry once a week so I don't need 20 pairs of underwear or 30 pairs of socks. I kept 10 pairs of undies, 5 bras (sports bras not included) and 10 pairs of socks (thicker sport ones, no show, normal...).
  
• If hanging stuff up on hangers, layer them if possible! I hang two or three cardigans on top of one another, I hang one blazer on top of another. Lighter fabric work trousers also get hung in doubles and triples.
  
• If you have an inside door or the back of the wardrobe (some have the rail very forward leaving you some space in the back actually) you can hang up something like this storage to keep your workout clothes/camis/rolled up jeans/scarves in. Might be a bit harder to get to if you have to slide clothes out of the way but worth it. Otherwise of course easily accessible in a door.
  
• Rail organisers as another user shared.
  
• Storage bins with wheels under a bed if possible - easy for shoes or bulky things like sweaters or loungewear/pjs. If they have wheels they're at least easy to pull out.
  
  Other than that, keep an eye on the clothes you have and what you wear. Even if at first assessment you think you need to keep things, if you never wear them you can put them in storage to see if they're missed before donating. Also vacuum bags are great for storing off-season clothes. I just packed the last of my bulky winter wear up last weekend.

I store all my t-shirts on slim hangers in my closet.

I also converted my closet to double rods, like this: https://www.yafangouwu.com/wp-content/uploads/m/m-frugal-closet-rod-under-stairs.jpg

Now I have more closet rod space than clothes.

Nope, plan C is on Amazon as well.

Thanks! I will look into the hangers and links but had some quick questions...

Would those types of just velvet hangers help any?

And yeah I figured the slimming could be done easy but I cant seem to find any info or how-to videos all I find is full tailoring of button ups with cutting involved. Is there a name for this type of alteration? I plan to go to a local seamstress and see what they say but thought I would try to research first...
