How to Use the Closet Valet Rod
If you're new to the closet valet rod, I guarantee you'll be surprised at how often you use it. This is one accessory you almost can't have too many of.
Here's what I do with mine:
PLAN OUTFITS
Deciding what to wear or packing for a trip? Valet rods hang clothing parallel to you, like a retail display. This makes it fun and easy to quickly see what works and what doesn't. Pair pieces on your closet valet rod to put looks together. Don't forget about your jewelry, tie, hat or handbag—hang it all as a unit so you see the big picture.
Displaying tomorrow's outfit on your closet valet rod can also spare you some fuzzy morning decision-making. This time-saver can help you or a loved one of any age eliminate chaos and live better. Here’s how an awesome client, Drew, is using his valet rod after his midtown Tulsa closet remodel:
The sliding valet rod is a feature I use all the time. We hadn’t discussed a valet rod during the design, but the installers added it for me to try, and I’m glad they did. You can hang your outfits for the day on there. I use it for my cycling outfits the night before, so I don’t have to scramble to find all my clothes. I can just grab my outfit and go.
The closet valet rod telescopes to create temporary storage space and disappears when you want it to. Call Closets of Tulsa today for a FREE consultation and 3-D closet design: 918.609.0214
STAY ORGANIZED
Use your closet valet rod as a holding station to keep your closet floor and other surfaces free of clutter. Easily hang your coat, hat or handbag instead of letting things pile up. Or, use your valet rod as an organization station to put away laundry or dry cleaning, see what you have, and find a place for each item.
See what I mean about never having too many of these?
INSPECT GARMENTS
Need to check an item for stains, holes or damage? Struggling to tell black from navy blue? (Just kidding, those were both black.)
Locate your closet valet rod so garments are in your line of sight,
where you can easily inspect them.
CLEAN UP
Whether laundry happens in your closet or a separate room, the closet valet rod is a game-changer for your hang-dry, ironing and steaming routine. Hang wet clothes to dry without a bulky drying rack—or the umpteen other places you try to hang your delicates :)
Locate a valet rod near your dryer or ironing board to move garments directly onto hangers while they're still fresh. If you steam your clothing, hang a valet rod high enough to accommodate.
Details like the closet valet rod make the difference between a custom closet you love and one that simply holds your stuff. Call Closets of Tulsa today to see what’s possible: 918.609.0214
HAVE FUN WITH IT
The closet valet rod is also an unexpected place for a thoughtful note that won't get lost among the bills. Post encouraging words for yourself or a loved one before a big day, or leave a fun surprise to celebrate a promotion or the first day of school.
