Clothes Valets

Outside the closet, storage becomes even more haphazard. We are faced with a classic ergonomic challenge: either become obsessive about every article of clothing or live in chaos.

You have a right to relax in your bedroom. When you undress or change clothes, you need a temporary storage place. Without one, garments are draped over beds and chairs, hung on door backs and piled on dressers. They end up wrinkled, mixed up, stacked haphazardly, and even ruined. We’ve developed this clumsy dependency on furniture as clothes-storage platforms because we no longer have the full-time housewives and servants who once helped us with our clothes. We’re still adapting to the modern equitable household in which storage is each person’s responsibility. And we have more clothes than people have ever had.

Unmanaged, each garment, every random pile of soiled clothes, becomes a land mine of potential stress. If you share a bedroom, you and your partner will like each other more if you have an easy system for storing clothes. The clothes valet, used mostly at the end of the day when you’re too tired to hang things up neatly in your closet, brings a new sense of tranquility to your bedroom. Taking up little space, it stands anywhere in the room, ready to preserve an outfit until you find time to return it to the closet. Garments stay clean; pleats and folds remain intact.
