Small Space Solution: Wall-Mounted Drying Racks

Wall-mounted drying racks are a classic small space solution, and air drying is regaining popularity thanks to the significant energy savings you gain from avoiding the electric dryer...

These racks can be hung in a laundry room, bathroom, or even on a porch as an alternative to the clothesline. The one shown above is the Beadboard Drying Rack from Ballard Designs for $199.95.

199. for a few wooden poles and a frame????!!!! no thanks.. its DIYable

great idea though

thank-you for reminding us of the economic and environmental benefits of air drying our clothes.

I own a small company which sells unique wall mount drying racks. The drying racks are designed for indoor use and can accommodate up to 5 QUEEN sized bed sheets!

The best part is the drying rack extends from the wall only 3.5″ when not in use so it takes up very little space in the home. The sturdy 1″ diameter drying rods won’t bend and are made of strong Douglas fir.

Hopefully more people will be turning off the most energy intensive appliance in the home.

Thanks for your post!
