Drying your laundry is easier with these 10 cleverly-designed clothes racks

Drying laundry would be a super-easy task if we could put all our clothes in the dryer. However, this is not always possible, as delicate garments need to be air dried. And those who don't have a dryer have to rely on the whims of the weather and/or hang up washing in a laundry room.

And where there is no space for a laundry room, we have to put clothes horses/racks up in whatever areas can accommodate them. Even storing the clothes horse is a pain due to its bulky size and shape.

So how do you deal with your laundry? Check out the 10 clever ideas below on how to set up a more convenient clothes horse:

1. Wall-mounted clothes horse

A wall-mounted clothes horse that can be retracted is the right solution for small rooms.

2. Door-mounted drying racks

Doors aren't just for closing. Use one to hang up your clothes on drying racks.

3. Retractable clothesline

If you have a lot of clothes to hang up, the solution for you is a retractable clothesline. You can mount them at different heights and open up only the ones you need. When closed, they become almost invisible.

4. Retractable clothes lines

Here's a solution for those who don't want to have to store a clothes horse in the home: retractable clotheslines can be positioned over a bathtub or in front of a window. They are only visible when in use.

5. Shelf-mounted drying rack

Mount staggered poles in the structure of a wardrobe or shelving unit: you can use the upper part to store detergents and tools necessary for cleaning, the lower part to hang up your laundry.

6. Ceiling-mounted drying rack

And what if your clothesline is attached to the ceiling? You would certainly gain a lot of space!

7. Drying rack drawer

Make the most of any available space by placing a drying rack framework in a drawer.

8. Vertical drying rack

Alternatively, make the most of any free, vertical space by placing a drying rack in a gap between the wall and a piece of furniture.

9. Foldable wall-mounted drying racks

The wall-mounted clothesline is a perfect solution, and if it is foldable, it is even more so. When not in use, it can be easily stored to save space (and you can mount it at whatever height you prefer).

10. Foldable drying rack

Finally, we present the foldable clothesline. In plastic or metal, it is very light and can be positioned anywhere: on the floor, on the bathtub or, if you don't want to take up too much space, extended and up against a wall. Perfect for every need.
