Organizing Obsession: Tension Rods

I was organizing a client’s apartment earlier
this month when I noticed a brilliant use of a tension rod in her coat closet.
She was using it to hold a couple umbrellas in an otherwise wasted nook of the closet.

Now everywhere I turn I’m envisioning tension rods to keep
clients organized. Guess you can say I have a new obsession.
Here are some great examples of tension rods in action.

Tension rods are an affordable and fantastic way to utilize
vertical space in tight spots. When using a tension rod to hang items, remember to keep in mind how much weight it can bear.
