The Space-Saving IKEA Product That Will Revolutionize Your Closet Storage

Managing wardrobe clutter in your closet shouldn't have to be an endless battle or source of frustration. Sometimes a simple storage solution can help transform chaos into a beautiful, well-organized wardrobe. Whether you are building a new closet from scratch or looking to make improvements to your existing space, there are so many incredible closet design ideas out there to maximize your square footage and create a system that works for you.

One of the major sources of wardrobe disarray is the wrinkled pile of folded pants in dresser drawers or tossed on closet shelves. Pants are hard to see when they are all stacked up on top of each other and shoved into drawers. While they might be easier to see on an open shelf, the uneven folded pants always end up as a tumbling pile of clutter as you pull items out of the stack. The solution? Hanging your pants will help keep them visible and wrinkle-free. 

However, not everyone has the space to hang all of their pants individually or wants to fuss with the extra clothes hangers, which is where IKEA comes to the rescue. Available in six sizes and designed to fit seamlessly into IKEA's stunning PAX closet system (though you can install it into any closet space with matching dimensions), the KOMPLEMENT pull-out pants hanger is an ideal space-saving solution for storing pants that makes your closet look high-end and custom-built. Made up of a pull-out frame with inner dowels for hanging pants, this clever and wrinkle-free storage solution will get rid of the pants clutter once and for all.

Organizing, storing, and hanging your pants can be easier with the IKEA Komplement pants hanger. Once installed with a couple of screws, pull the unit out to load it up by simply draping your pants in half over the dowels. When the time comes to pick out your wardrobe for the day, you simply pull out the frame for full visibility of all options and grab your favorite wrinkle-free pair. This hanger condenses your pants collection, freeing up valuable drawer or shelf space that can either be used for something else or eliminated.

The KOMPLEMENT pants hanger comes in three widths, two depths, and three colors so you can tailor it to your closet layout, aesthetic, and storage needs. Ranging from only $25 to $40 depending on the size, the shorter 13 ¾ inch depth options will fit one to two pants on each dowel, while the deeper 22 ⅞ inch version will fit two to three pants on each dowel. The various size options will allow for installation in most closet spaces. If you are altering an existing space not made by IKEA, you may need to add spacer blocks to get to the correct final dimensions, as the units are not adjustable. 

Some users have complained that their slippery work trousers or athletic pants tend to slide off the rails, but a simple line of anti-slip tape or even a bead of hot glue across the top of the dowel can prevent sliding, and still help you wrangle the trouser clutter in a chic and seamless way.
