Where in the bedroom do you hang/put worn but not dirty clothes?

If you have worn something but it’s not dirty and you will probably wear it the next day where do you put it? I have a smallish bedroom and am trying to work out what would be good to put an outfit on that I don’t want back in the wardrobe. What do you use if your room is short on space - Chair, floor, rail, rack, box?

My things tend to go on a small cabinet behind the door. DH and DC favour the floor.

@DustyMaiden

In the laundry basket.
As in, the washing basket? So you wash everything after you've worn it, even if just for a few hours and it still smells and looks clean? 😯

I bought a coat stand exactly for this purpose!

Hooks on the back of the door.

Bottom of the bed now as we have a metal bed. Before on my dressing table stall (currently doesn't fit in room, can't wait to move!)

Draped over the end of my bed( bedroom the size of a shoebox so no other choice)

Back in the wardrobe here. Couldn't be doing with the clutter of anything else.

In theory, back in the wardrobe. Far too often they go in the “pile” though.
I tend to assume clothes are still clean and then sometimes find them the next day hung up in the wardrobe all dirty and I kick myself.

I have an over the door hanger with hooks on. I wear jeans or shorts and tee most of the day as we only go out now and again at the moment. My go out clothes hang up.....means I wear them maybe 3 or4 times for a couple of hours a time. People must think I only have 2 outfits.

We wear stuff once and then it's in the laundry. I cant bear stuff lying around

Hung over the bathroom radiator or the side of the bath in en suite

BearSoFair · 01/10/2020 16:41

Folded on top of the chest of drawers. Also makes sure we don't leave a pile of clean clothes sitting there for ages!

sakura06 · 01/10/2020 16:46

Over the bannister or on the ottoman at the end of the bed.

BigGlasses · 01/10/2020 16:49

I have a towel ladder

@Dee1975 glad it isn't just me 🤣

Reykjavikagain · 01/10/2020 17:25

BigGlasses. I think that’s it! That would be perfect as it doesn’t take up space. Was it easy to put together and is it sturdy?

I bought a couple of these from Ikea. Have fixed DD's onto her wardrobe and she is v impressed. She is a scatty teenager and usually hangs things on the floor. I think you could probably fix them to a wall or side of any wardrobe, not just a Pax one. I can't be 100% sure as mine is buried under a pile of clothes on the chair of doom.

DahliaGardener · 02/10/2020 18:20

Add it to the heap.

BigGlasses · 02/10/2020 18:52

I didn’t buy the Next one ( I just picked a picture off the internet) , mine was eBay I think and it came already made. But it works well, doesn’t take up much space!

On a chair(shared with DP). Pre lockdown I would cull on a Sunday evening as DP and I mostly wore suits / smart stuff during the week anyway.
Work clothing that could be worn again was returned to the wardrobe.

Itstheprinciple · 02/10/2020 19:30

We have the banister of doom. DH mostly uses it and then chooses new clothes and leaves them there, accumlating.

Jolonglegs · 02/10/2020 19:31

the chair!
