Any solutions?
Never throw out clothes, Welshy!

Or buy one, throw one out 🙂

Callistemon21 this is exactly why I have so many at the moment. I sorted out my wardrobes, lots I no longer wear.

I shall have a lot to spare when I start clearing out and decluttering 🤞

We have very few spare which hang in the wardrobes, never bought any.

I have the non-slip 'velvet' coathangers.
They're slim and don't take up much space.
(Unlike me 😀)

Mine all have things hanging on them

Thank you all. I don't want to get rid, they are in a box under the stairs but they always get tangled up! The trouser ones are the worst for it. The brackets sound a good idea, or maybe hang them back up in the wardrobe.

lixy that took me back a bit, I can remember my mother doing that with the old wire ones smile

Oh dear, at the risk of outing my hanger OCD DH has one sort, I have another and spare rooms have different colours.

Any empty ones are hung on drying rail in laundry ready for clean ironed clothes.

I just have sturdy plastic ones, any others are rehomed asap. We don't have many spare ones. Those that we do have are in the hall cupboard ready for visitors' coats.

I'm sure the wire ones are designed to torment any normal human being - best made into a tinsel star ala Blue Peter 50 years ago!

I saw something on Facebook where someone put two brackets on a wall and hung their coat hangers on them. I think I’ve got too many to do that, though. I think if they’re not being used to hang clothes they breed

Charity shops don’t want them, they prefer uniform hangers distinguished only by size. I keep plastic ones to hang shirts to dry or on when I’m ironing but other than that, I’d say chuck them.

Wardrobes, airing cupboard, the charity shop!

Surplus wooden ones end up on the fire.

In the wardrobes. Charity shop or the bin whenever there are surplus hangers.

In the ironing basket, at hand to hang ironed garments

Coat hangers, where do you keep yours? They are my bugbear! I keep mine in a cupboard under the stairs, but they always seem to tangle up, when I'm trying to get one out Ahhhhhh!
