If you're one of those people who's blessed with plenty of closet space, lucky you. Many of us, especially apartment dwellers, do not, and many of those who are don't have closets big enough to accommodate all their stuff. If you’ve encountered this all too common problem, rest assured knowing there’s a simple solution: a garment rack.

Garment racks—also called clothing racks—are really just racks that hold your clothing. They come in an array of different shapes and sizes, but all of them are fit for holding a small portion of your wardrobe. Unlike wardrobes, they're usually free-standing and open, letting you put some of your favorite pieces on display—and of course, expand your closet.

Here, the best garment racks.

What to Look For in a Clothing Rack

Size

As you're probably aware of if you're looking for a garment rack in the first place, the amount of space you have should be one of your top considerations. If you really have no room to spare, look for a rack that is made for corners (like traditional coat racks); if you have a large bedroom but no closet, look for bigger options that can hold clothes, shoes, and even accessories.

Function

Have zero closet space? Make sure you buy a clothing rack that's multifunctional, with not only a rod for hanging but also shelves for shoes and folded clothes. Don't be afraid to add storage baskets into the mix to keep everything together, especially if you don't love the open look. Have a closet but too many clothes? You can focus on choosing a minimalist rack that will keep your most-loved items in easy reach and give you closet some breathing room. Clothing racks are also a great option for closet-less entryways—look for a narrow rack that can hold a few coats and perhaps has a bottom rack for shoes.

Style

Clothing racks have come a long way from the metal collapsible racks you'd find in a clothing store. Nowadays you can find style-focused options that double as décor, from sleek metal frames that work in industrial spaces to warm wood racks that fit with bohemian, mid-century, and farmhouse aesthetics (depending on the finish and size). You'll probably have to spend a bit more on the design-forward options, but not always.
