Your laundry area of your home may not be the place you enjoying spending much time. Many people hand dry their clothes and you begin to consider how much time it will take to carry a heap of washing from the laundry room to the basement and down to the backyard, drop the heap and bring out the laundry line or rack outside, get it set up and spread your clothes.
It is really a lot of work. And then when it starts raining, you just have to grab the basket again and go packing the clothes and lugging them down to the laundry room again. Instead of this, why not consider using a drying rack?

Different Style Racks:
This is a very functional addition to your laundry room that you will forever be grateful for. It is designed in such a way that when it is not in use, you have it closed up like a window and when you want to make use of it, you open it and hang your wet clothes. They moistly come as built-ins and you can have as much of them in the laundry room as you want since it does not take up space. It is a great idea if your home is tight on space. For a custom design, you can always get a kitchen or cabinetry designer to get it done.

Hanging bar:
This particular drying rack is designed to fit as close to the wall as possible so that it does not occupy any space. It features two straight poles and cross-bars, between 3 and 5 bars. In using this type of rack, make sure that if you have drier clothes and wet clothes to hang up at the same time, the wet clothes come under so that they don’t pass on moisture to the ones that are already dry. It is also space saving and can be built by a kitchen and cabinetry designer.
