Closet Organization with the Velvet Touch

By
Real Estate Agent with EXP Realty 414-525-0563 57026-90 Broker

 One of the things we tell Sellers when we do our pre listing consultation is to "reduce the closet inventory." They will be moving and seasonal clothing can be packed away...the "I have not worn since..." donated and more closet room apparent to prospective buyers. The issue can be in large walk in closets, or in older homes withVelvet hangers smaller closets...over crowded...looking small and hard to find the blouse, pants, jacket that you wanted to wear.

   ENTER - "Velvet" hangers...!  These cleverly designed hangers have several outstanding features. The velvet -like covering allows straps or slippery material to cling to it ...no more tank tops or camis that have taken a slide to the floor. The rounded edges both on the outer side and the bottom do not crease clothes so you don't look like you are "wearing a hanger."  The thin steel hook (as opposed to thicker plastic hangers) allow you to free up more space and and make clothes more visible. AND they are economical...AND give you the "uniform organized" look and use that a closet should have...not just when you move but for how you live as well.

       Our  masterVelvet hanger bedroom closet walk in closet is now "velvety soft" , has more room and we are going to use these in every closet in the house. You can find them on the internet ...google away to your favorite site...or in hardware stores, department and speciality stores in your area.   

    Sometimes it is the little things that add that finishing touch to a house...or your own life !

    If you or someone you know is looking for Realtors that look at alllll the details in a home when you list, or buy...call the Hansons in southeastern Wisconsin, we are honored to be of service.

I have seen them all over and are tempted to buy them, but I spent so much on the ones we now use that I am stalling on the purchase...

Great tip! An organized closet really makes a lasting impression.

It's amazing what a difference having matching hangers can make! If the hangers take up less space...even better!  

It's not just for the sale of the home either....it's something you will use in your new home after you move!

Saturday nights I go red.

All cotton.

Look tough, be tough.

 

(Sunday I go burgundy and gold...)

But you knew that.

 

P.s.  I confess to not knowing that a cami is, but I do know what a tank top is.

I have these and they are wonderful. Can actually fit everything in the closet now. I converted all the closets in my house to these hangers and donated most of the plastic ones

Sally... I've been using these hangers for well over 10 year and I even color-code--black ones for fall and winter clothing and hot pink for spring and summer clothing (my two favorite colors).

Sally K. & David L. Hanson

We love them Nina Hollander ...no colors here ....sometimes do cami tops under suits....in Wisconsin....it's wait 5 minutes and the weather may change !

Most of my hangers are these kind. It is very convenient to buy few packs in different colors and color coordinate your closet.
