If you’re an urbanite, especially in a city with notoriously small apartments, chances are you have a big wardrobe and a *very* small closet. The struggle is real. Well, we small-space-dwellers have to stick together, which is why we’re bringing you this genius chain hack to maximize that precious real estate. Thanks to this hanger hack, a too-small closet doesn’t have to mean downsizing your killer wardrobe. Read on and thank us later :)


Materials + Tools:

  • Chain (about 1 foot)
  • S-hook
  • Spray paint

Instructions:

  1. Spray paint your chain and S-hook, then let dry.
  2. Hang the chain on the small end of the S-hook, then hook the large end of the S-hook onto your closet rod.
  3. Place hangers into every other chain link. That’s it!

Obviously, the spray paint is optional. But why not glam it up a bit? Spray paint your chain and S-hook, then let dry. We recommend you do this step outside, unless you have indoor-friendly spray paint.

Hang the chain on the small end of the S-hook, then hook the large end of the S-hook onto your closet rod.

Place hangers into every other chain link. Ta-da!
