Today, leading furniture manufacturers produce spacious wardrobes for careful storage of things. Modern models are equipped with various systems for storing clothes. Placing skirts, trousers, ties and other accessories requires special conditions. Retractable closet trouser racks come to the rescue, designed for their more responsible storage.
Advantages
In the broad sense of the word, trousers are personal storage systems for trousers in an upright position. The main advantages of such a device include:
- compactness - the design takes up very little space in the middle of the cabinet;
- ease of use;
- saving closet space - neatly folded trousers on a shelf are a weighty pile, while a trouser rack allows you to place things, significantly saving space;
- the appearance of the product remains unchanged - the trousers do not crumple, there is no crease of the "arrows".
Moreover, bryuchnitsy can be used and not for their intended purpose. You can use this device to store towels, ties, scarves, belts. We can safely say that when buying a trouser case, you get a whole complex for responsible storage of things and accessories.
Types of storage systems
There are a huge number of trousers, but all of them can be conditionally divided into two types - stationary and retractable.
Retractable systems are the most convenient in terms of operation. Depending on the method of attachment, one can distinguish:
- side mounting systems;
- trousers with fastening at the top;
- sliding systems with fastening to both walls of the cabinet.
Side mounted self-tapping trousers take up little space, leaving the center of the cabinet free. This system allows you to store up to 8-9 pairs of trousers. The fastening mechanism and the bar itself are made of steel, which increases its reliability. In this case, the depth of the cabinet should not be less than 60 cm. This type of design is also presented in a compact version, where not only trousers, but also ties, skirts can be hung on the retractable element, fastening them with clothespins.
A top-mounted trouser trouser stand is distinguished by increased endurance - 10-11 pairs can be placed here. The retractable roller mechanism is made of steel. For this design, a standard cabinet depth is provided.
A two-wall trouser leg allows you to place things vertically without fear that they will wrinkle. There are several types of such a structure based on its size:
- for wardrobes 60 cm deep to store up to 8 pairs of trousers;
- for cabinets 80 cm deep for 10 pairs of things;
- for wardrobes 90 cm deep with space for up to 12 pairs of trousers. Manufacturers offer such options also with an additional laundry basket.
How to choose?
When choosing a trouser, you should take into account both personal wishes for the device and the features of the cabinet. . Among the main criteria when buying a trouser, you need to pay attention to the following points:
- the number of pairs of trousers you wish to place;
- maximum load weight;
- attachment type. You can choose the option of placing the structure inside the cabinet or outside on the wall;
- manufacturing material.
In the manufacture of trousers, materials that are safe for health are used - metal, paint resistant to wear and chips in the color of aluminum.
Given all the necessary nuances, it is easy to purchase a trouser that will be really convenient to use and will serve you for a long time.
Everyone wants to look neat, stylish and flawless. To achieve this is quite easy, you just need to keep the wardrobe items in order. But how to properly store trousers, shirts, accessories and shoes so that they do not lose their attractive appearance and are at hand in any situation?
In small apartments there is no way to make room for a full-fledged dressing room, but this is not a reason for frustration. You can organize such a zone in a niche or near one of the walls in the hallway, bedroom and even the living room. To do this, it is better to immediately look after special multifunctional organizers.
The most common problem that everyone has encountered is wrinkled trousers in the closet. If possible, it is best to distribute things over several bars - upper and lower. On the first store blouses and shirts, and on the second trousers and skirts. For the latter, you must immediately purchase special hangers with holders and clothespins.
Often the cause of clutter in the hallway is the improper organization of shoes. To avoid chaos, you need to take care of good storage systems. If you need to remove shoes for seasonal storage, then plastic boxes are useful for this, and if you need shoes to be visible, then you should choose racks with many small cells. Wicker baskets are also suitable for long-term storage of shoes. They fit a sufficient number of shoes, while placing them in the dressing room is not difficult.
Where to store accessories?
Not the last place in the wardrobe is occupied by accessories - hats, scarves, glasses, ties, handbags, jewelry. If their storage is poorly organized, then in a hurry it will be difficult to find a suitable element to complete the image. Therefore, it is advisable to store all accessories in special cells, organizers, transparent containers, drawers, so that they are always at hand.
The color scheme in a small dressing room should work to increase the space; white, blue and cold green shades are great for this purpose.
Not superfluous in the dressing room will be a pouf, on which you can sit down and calmly put on shoes or straighten your pants.
You can hang things according to several schemes - by images, by type, by color. You need to decide on the most convenient of them and maintain the interior of the dressing room in the same style.
Nothing gives a suit a more unkempt look than wrinkled trousers. Of course, they can be ironed every time before going out, but frequent ironing can ruin a thing made of good expensive fabric, and we don’t always have time for this. Little life hack: so that even after a long stay in the closet, the trousers look like they have just been ironed, you need to learn how to store them correctly. And if earlier manufacturers could offer nothing but a crossbar in a suit hanger, now the range of these accessories is so diverse that it allows solving the most complex storage problems.
Types of trouser hangers
Traces from the crossbar at the fold, dents from clips, elongated seams and V-shaped folds on the legs, slipping to the bottom of the closet - this is not a complete list of vulnerabilities in the storage of trousers that every housewife has encountered at least once in her life. By having different types of hangers in your closet and using them correctly, most problems can be eliminated. the following models have been developed:
Hanger-clip;
Hanger with clips;
Crossbar hanger;
Hanger-transformer.
This classification is based on different principles of fastening and storage. As options, there is an improved design of individual elements, the use of various softening linings, anti-slip materials and coatings. In addition to the universal purpose, each type of hanger is designed to store certain products of a certain type.
We invite you to consider the main models together with us, analyze their advantages and weaknesses, and then decide on a purchase.
Clip hanger
The device consists of two strips, which are pulled together with a tight spring. The method of fastening trousers in the design - for the bottom edge. Such hangers are wooden and metal, the clip itself inside (in places of contact with the fabric) has a protective coating or silicone pads. Designed for storing light trousers made of cotton, linen, silk, fine suit wool.
Model advantages:
The best way to store in a suspended state - no wrinkles are formed, no seams are pulled out, the product is smoothed out under its own weight.
Polymer lining prevents slipping, does not leave marks on the leg.
Flaws:
The clip hanger is not designed for thick winter trousers - they stretch the spring mechanism and in the future the clip will not hold well.
Requires closet space to store full length pants.
What to pay attention to when buying?
In a high-quality hanger-clip, the spring mechanism is always tight and smooth, it opens and closes easily.
Inside the clamp must have a protective gasket.
Hanger with clips
This type of trempel is a bar on which 2 clips (clothespins) are fixed. The horizontal base is made of wood, metal, durable plastic, the clips are metal, with silicone or rubber nozzles at the ends. Pants in this version are fastened for the belt. The design is designed for summer and winter models.
Advantages:
Versatility - Suitable for trousers, shorts, skirts, stoles and even boots.
In most models of such hangers, the clips move along the crossbar, which allows you to adjust the clothespins to the size of the belt.
The design is strong enough with a reliable metal hook, which allows you to hang heavy winter things.
Flaws:
The standard length of the crossbar is a maximum of 30–33 cm, which limits the use of such a trempel by people with large clothing sizes.
On products made of lightweight fabrics, when stored in this position, vertical and V-shaped folds are formed.
What to look for when buying?
At the ends of the clip should be polymer nozzles. They are needed so as not to damage the fabric, not to tear it with the teeth of clothespins, not to leave too obvious marks from the clamp.
Crossbar hanger
This is an improved version of the suit. Trousers neatly folded arrow to arrow, thrown over the crossbar and hang it in a closet. For this, ordinary hangers with a crossbar or special designs with a horizontal base are used. Not suitable for wrinkled fabrics.
The main problem of storage on weight is slipping to the floor. This is especially true for, since the tree itself has good adhesion to the fabric. To solve this problem, manufacturers have learned to cover the base with anti-slip compounds, “dress” them in protective casings made of polymeric materials. Most popular options:
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coating;
rubberized or silicone casing (for metal rods);
a foam roller is the most effective, since, in addition to adhesion, it prevents the formation of a fold on the fold.
Attention! Lack of coverage does NOT mean automatically, that the pants will slide off. It all depends on the fabric. The presence of an adhesive coating is mandatory for storing trousers made of slippery fabrics - silk, fine wool.
Model advantages:
Simple storage system using existing crossbar hangers.
Does not require additional height space.
Flaws:
A transverse fold is formed, and the thinner the base rod, the more distinct it is. The crease is especially noticeable on thin cloth, since woolen fiber tends to stretch.
What to pay attention to?
The edge of the single should be bent up to prevent slipping to the side.
Tiered hanger
The principle of storing clothes on the same as on a regular crossbar - on weight or on a hanger with clothespins. Main difference- the ability to place several pairs at once on one structure. So that the placed things do not slip off (the probability of which in this case increases due to the "collectivity" of storage), the ends of the crossbars are bent up or put on locking nozzles. Considering that the trousers thrown over the base will hang quite tightly, it is best to place products from non-wrinkling fabrics, jeans on such a hanger. Although many experienced housewives recommend storing denim clothes folded on a shelf.
Designers strongly recommend replacing the traditional hanger or set of hooks in the hallway with a storage system. The photo below is just such an option. White wood, wicker baskets and pillows in white and blue tones remind of freshness. This option is not only more pleasant, but also solves the problem of storing hats, scarves, bags and shoes with the help of cute wicker baskets.

Don't know how to organize the storage of trousers in the closet? Then this review is for you, in it we will analyze in detail all the features of trousers - special systems installed inside the closet and designed for neat storage of trousers and quick access if necessary.
Purpose and features
The main purpose of the retractable trousers is to store several pairs of things without folding and crushing them and easy access to the structure if necessary. The design is moving, which makes it much more convenient than stationary options.
At the same time, the system is convenient, takes up very little space and is suitable for all types of cabinets: cabinet, compartment, built-in open, etc.
The ball-type retractable mechanism ensures that the trouser rack slides forward smoothly, and it leaves completely, which provides easy access to the contents. The designs differ in size and type of installation, we will analyze all these aspects below.
When choosing, you should pay attention to the dimensions, since the design is placed in a niche, the height of which should be approximately 40 cm so that the trousers hang freely. As for the width, it can be different, so finding a suitable solution for standard furniture is not difficult.
Another important advantage is the ability to install structures on both new and old furniture, the fastening system is simple, and anyone who has minimal experience with a tape measure and a screwdriver can handle the job.
Kinds
If you decide that you need a trouser rack, then you need to choose the right design for your closet. There are not many options, and after reading this section, you will easily cope with this task.
Based on the foregoing, there are several advantages of retractable systems:
- Rational use of space. Can hang a lot of trousers on a small structure;
- Safety of things. You can iron the pants and hang them up, they won't wrinkle as they hang straight and don't come into contact with other things;
- Ease of use. The leaving mechanism allows you to quickly find and get the item you need, as well as quickly hang everything you need, after which the system slides back;
- Reliability. The mechanism works great even when fully loaded, it does not warp and does not jam over time;
- Noiselessness. The guides move quietly and smoothly, you will not disturb a sleeping family member when you take out things.
By location
This aspect refers to the method of fastening the structure to the cabinet frame and the method of its extension, there are three main options:
| Illustration | Description |
 |
Side mount trouser has the following features:
|
 |
Top mount trouser hanger. Its main differences are:
|
 |
Pull-out trousers with side fastening to two walls. This solution has its advantages:
|
 |
Fan-type trouser hangers. This option does not directly apply to retractable structures, but since it is also movable and rotates if necessary, it also needs to be disassembled:
|
Manufacturing materials
Now let's figure out what materials trouser pants are most often made of, there are only a few options:
| Illustration | Description |
 |
solid wood. Wood is a popular material in the manufacture of furniture, which is also used in the manufacture of trousers. The structures most often look like a frame in which oval wooden beams are located, on which things are hung. A very simple device that does its job well. The holder is mounted on both sides on the side rails, only this mounting option is available for such products. |
 |
Aluminum also used to manufacture products. It has these advantages:
|
 |
Steel. This is the most common type of system, which has a number of advantages:
|
 |
Durable plastic. Modern polymeric materials are also used in the manufacture of the type of products we are considering, they have the following features:
|
 |
Combination of steel and plastic. Such options are becoming more popular, as models take the best properties of two materials and allow you to get great designs:
|
Dimensions
Design parameters are very important, so we will analyze all of them in a separate section. Here you need to consider the following:
. It does not directly relate to the size, but it determines the degree of reliability of the trousers and its durability. Standard indicators are from 15 to 20 kg, this is usually enough to ensure a margin of safety and eliminate deformation;Always choose the option with a margin so that the actual load is no more than 2/3 of the allowable. This will ensure the longevity of the system and eliminate the wear of moving parts due to constant work at the limit.
- Construction length. This aspect is important for structures that are attached to the side and top walls. In options that are fixed on both sides, the width is important, as it determines the size and capacity of the product. When choosing a specific model, you need to take into account either the depth of the cabinet or the width of the compartment, it all depends on the type of britches. The design is selected so that it is freely located in the niche allotted for it and does not rest against the door leaves;
- Width of the working part. This takes into account the size of the rods or pins on which things are located. Usually it is from 30 to 40 cm, but the indicators may differ, for example, if you purchase a children's version, it will be smaller, since the things that are stored on it are not as large as ordinary clothes;
- The dimensions of the compartments where the trousers are placed. These parameters are also important, because the system is always built into the rack and is often located next to other nodes. For example, if shoes are folded from below, then the opening should be of such a height that the trousers do not touch it. The same applies to other things, most often a bed and other large things are folded in the bottom compartment.
What to consider when choosing
We have analyzed the main features of trousers, we will figure out what you need to pay attention to when choosing a particular model:
- Compartment dimensions. First of all, measure the parameters of the furniture in the place where the britcher will be located in the future;
- Mount type. Immediately decide which option will be used. As practice shows, double-sided systems are the most reliable, and the side and top ones are easy to use and are not designed for heavy loads; . This indicator must be indicated in the label, if it is not there, then you most likely do not have the most reliable option;
- Execution quality. First, evaluate the strength and reliability of all elements, the frame must be strong, the pins should not bend with little effort. Pay attention to the coating, if it is a galvanic layer, it should be uniform - without streaks and stains, if the surface is painted, then it should not have smudges and unpainted areas;
- Trouser capacity. Be sure to estimate how many trousers you need to store on the structure, and based on this, look for the right option. If there are a lot of things, it makes sense to put two products so that everything is normal and convenient to place;
- The presence of anti-slip elements. Silicone rings are placed on metal pins, or the entire surface is completely covered with a special non-slip compound. This prevents things from slipping.
