I like to try out products that can have more than one function.  It is always fun to think outside of the box with something and imagine its capabilities beyond its intended use.  Thinking creatively is a helpful skill when undertaking any home organizing project.  I have put this skill to use with plastic totes, drawer organizers and even wall shelves (which I used to create a climbing system for my indoor cat).

cedar tie rack

Recently I went searching for a tie rack for my husband.  He is an avid collector of neck ties and owns just about any style you can image.  From funky vintage neckties to funny themed ones, he covers the whole gamut of neck tie couture.  I decided to get him a cedar tie rack by Woodlore because it has a simple and highly functional design.  We actually combined multiple tie racks side by side along the wall to accommodate his whole collection.  Even though this wall mount tie rack has a great capacity (twenty four) he owns more ties than the average man.
Once I saw what a great job this wall mounted neck tie rack did at organizing his fashion accessories, I got to thinking about other places I could use it around the house.  My first thought was necklaces.  Aha!  I can’t stand how my necklaces get tangled in the jewelry box.  And having them hanging would make selection so much easier.  And then I thought, Well why not bracelets too?  Done.  Then I realized I could use one of these wall racks to hang garden hand tools in the shed.  They already have little notches for hanging, but I made loops with leather rope to give them more freedom to dangle.
Once you get the hang of it, the practice of “repurposing” objects can be a lot of fun!  Start looking around your home, at your favorite organizers, and imagine them being useful in a new way that you never saw before.

Tie Racks for Closets

Tie racks for closets are a must since they help prevent ties from getting wrinkled. Choose a rack as high tech or traditional as you like. Designs range from wall mounted peg tie racks to hanger designs that can be moved from closet to closest. Place a wall mounted tie rack on the back of a closet door for easy access and to save space. Any lover of ties will be thrilled with a state of the art, rotating tie rack that makes it easy to peruse their collection with a built in light that makes the color of each tie easy to see.

Organizing ties by color makes coordinating your tie to your shirt easy. Another way to arrange your ties is by occasion so that everyday work ties are easy to grab, while dressier ties are safely stored. Whether you have a few ties or a large collection it’s easy to find a rack that can hold them all. With the right tie rack you’ll never end up with a closet floor or drawer littered with ties again.

These racks can also be used to store other accessories such as belts. Every man’s wardrobe should have at least three belts, one in black, one in brown to coordinate with shoes and a more casual belt in a neutral color. Combining a tie and belt rack is a good way to keep both in good shape and save closet space. With a few easy steps you can get your closet in shape! Find Tie Racks for Closets at Stacks and Stacks!

Wall Mounted 30 Tie Organizer

It only takes a few essentials to keep a well dressed mans closet in style. By properly storing your suits and accessories you can cut down on trips to the dry cleaners and save time getting ready in the morning. With the right hangers, shoe rack and men’s valet any closet can be well organized.

When properly stored suits only need to be dry cleaned a few times a year. Make sure that suit jackets are hung on a padded or formed hanger that won’t leave behind hanger marks. Make sure that hangers are evenly spaced with about an inch between each garment for proper air flow. Dress shirts should never go in the dryer, hang them up to dry and then iron while still slightly damp to get a smooth look.

Storing your tie collection comes down to finding the right tie rack. With the Wall Mounted 30 Tie Organizer from Stacks and Stacks, finding the tie you’re looking for is easy. Individual tie hangers allow you to easily organize your tie collection. Specially designed tie hooks ensure that ties stay flat. If you can’t hang up a tie right away make sure to roll it up rather than folding it which can cause creases.

Keep cufflinks paired up with a men’s valet that has small compartments for storing them together. If you have a watch with a leather wristband look for a valet designed for storing watches with cushions that support the band and keep it from getting out of shape.

When it comes to storing shoes, especially leather ones don’t wear them two days in a row so that they have time to dry out. An over the door rack is a good way to store shoes since it allows them to air out and saves space at the same time.

If there is one thing in this world I can never figure out, it is how to properly store my ties.  They are always falling on the floor, getting wadded up in my dresser, or just seem to disappear altogether.  I tried different strategies but every time I ended up with a bunch of sloppy, wrinkly ties that were falling apart at the seams.
My apartment has the perfect closet; it is 35 square feet and offers tons of storage.  Everything is in its right place, I never have a problem storing large items.  Ties are unique in that they don’t take up much closet storage space, but they are so shifty and falling all the time! And getting stepped on! I had to put an end to this tie travesty.

Wooden Peg 36 Neck Tie Rack

I fired up the old iMac, got on the inter-webs, and landed on one of my favorite sites, StacksandStacks.com. As I browsed the site I thought of the days when I would be able to hang up to 36 ties on one single rack, specifically designated for ties and ties only!  (Okay I suppose I will let my wife hang her necklaces from time to time).
I finally found the perfect tie storage solution: the wooden peg 36 neck tie rack.  This baby is able to store every single one of my ties, and mounts right on the wall.  The natural color of the wood was the perfect complement to the light hardwood floor in my closet.

The next day as I walked into my office with a pristine tie wrapped around my neck and dangling over my shirt, my boss walked up to.  “Son I’d like to talk to you for a moment,” he said firmly to me.  As I confusedly approached his desk, he shut the door.  “I always thought of you as a solid worker son,” he told me in his rough, whiskey drenched voice,  “but I never envisioned you as a leader of men.  After seeing that glorious, immaculate tie you are wearing, I have decided to promote you to CEO.”

As they say, sometimes all it takes is a space saving tie rack.

Cedar Tie Rack with 24 Brass Pegs

Review By Mitchel Murray

In the world of business, it is important to have a wide selection of ties at your disposal. Ties for power meetings, ties for informal meetings, ties for boardroom presentations. This adds up to many, many ties. Organizing these ties can be cumbersome. It doesn’t have to be.

I have a suggestion for my fellow business-minded readers with an abundance of ties: this suggestion can also assist the casual career type who has, for one reason or another, found themselves with a varied and plentiful selection of ties.  My suggestion, quite simply, is to find yourself a cedar tie rack with 24 brass pegs.

Cedar, because cedar is an aromatic wood; beautiful, and long lasting.  Your closet will avoid the trapping of a musty, dank smelling clothing repository with a nice peice of cedar bolted to the wall. Brass, because brass features dependability, strength, and a classic look. 24 pegs, because studies have shown that a successful businessman should have a top roster of 24 ties at his disposal, readily accessible. For the non-businessman, the option of hanging up to 24 ties of varying quality is a nice comfort, and will certainly help in the selection of a tie, on that rare occasion that a tie is needed.

What is a nice side benefit to a cedar tie rack with 24 brass pegs is the option to hang your keys or belts from the rack’s side hooks.  You may also find it convenient to place you wallet, jewelry, or other personal items on the well-placed top shelf built into the tie rack.

As a businessman, I needed to find a classic, dependable rack for my ties. I found the perfect cedar constructed tie rack, and utilized it to make my personal tie selection, storage, and organization easier.

You can too. Get your cedar tie rack at Stacks and Stacks!

One of the poorest and least developed countries in the world, Haiti in recent years has struggled with problems ranging from near-constant political upheaval, health crises, severe environmental degradation and an annual barrage of hurricanes, which killed an estimated 800 people and caused vast damage in 2008.

On Jan. 12, 2010, a massive earthquake struck Haiti, reducing much of its capital to rubble. It was the worst earthquake in the region in more than 200 years. Since then, there have been aftershocks, causing even more devastation.

It’s far too easy to feel powerless to help in the face of such heartbreaking news. But you can help!

To give to the Red Cross, phone users can text the word “HAITI” to 90999 to donate $10, and when prompted, hit “YES” to confirm the donation.

The donation is added to the cell user’s bill, and receipts are available.

Other text-message codes for donations include:

• Text the word “HAITI” to 20222 to donate $10 to the Clinton Foundation Haiti Relief Fund.

• Text “HAITI” to 25383 to donate $5 to the International Rescue Committee.

• Text “HAITI” to 85944 to donate $10 to the International Medical Corps.

Also, some of my favorite companies have started donation campaigns for relief work in Haiti. Through January 28, StacksAndStacks.com will be donating $10 on every order over $100 dollars to the American Red Cross. You can make this a philanthropic double whammy - buy some organizing supplies for a local charity in your neighborhood, and if you spend over $100 dollars, you’ll be helping Haiti as well! It’s a new version of “Think Globally, Act Locally” - it’s “Act Locally, Act Globally”!

In the wide world of tie racks there are so many different styles to choose from. No matter the size of your collection, there is a tie rack style for you! These are only 5 examples of ways to store and organize your tie collections. Check back for more styles to make a good decision!

This is one of the newer and more fun styles of tie racks. The motorized rotation of the rack makes it a breeze to browse through a large collection of ties quickly. This particular one holds 64 ties and 8 belts, perfect for the avid tie wearer.

This cedar, wall mounted tie rack is a classic way to organize a tie collection. With a double row of hooks along the piece of wood, you can quickly and easily hang your tie up after a long day. The aromatic cedar scent will keep your ties smelling fresh.

To save on space go with something like this. In the shape of a hanger, this tie rack fits in nicely with your other clothes in the closet. The double row of hooks offers ample space for your tie and belt storage. Your ties hang freely and will remain unwrinkled.

This is another cool option for a tie rack. Mounted to the wall, the bar holds tie hangers. The tie hangers are just like the ones you’ll find in department stores, making this the perfect way to keep your ties in brand new condition. (Just don’t drop any mustard…)

This very fun tie rack is great for any tie collection! It hangs nicely in the closet and easily holds many ties, keeping them straight and wrinkle free. This tie rack is a creative approach to a classic rack. Not only can it hold your ties, it can also double to hold belts or scarves as well.

Like I said, this is just 5 of the many options out there for tie racks. There will be another showcase of some popular tie racks as well as a how-to on maintaining your tie collection and taking good care of your ties.

Have a favorite tie rack? How many ties are in your collection? How do you take care of your ties? I’d love to hear your advice!

Perhaps you just don’t have room for a tie rack. Even though space is sometimes a premium, you can still hang your favorite ties. Never let a lack of closet space make you disorganized! In every closet, there’s room for a hook. Stylish and functional, this Bach Hook is the perfect way to hang some of your favorite ties.

Even though this hook is designed for coats and jackets, you can still loop a few select ties through the loops. It’s the perfect way to have ties a la carte! Or is it a la mode? I can never remember.

Here’s another wall hook! This is the Flip Wall Hook. It’s called the flip wall hook because the hooks flip down when you need them, and flip up when you don’t! Plus, with five hooks, you’ll be able to hang a tie for everyday of your work week. Just don’t get any overtime! And if you do, use that extra money to buy some new ties!

Hi I’m Larry Wilson and I write a blog called Bike Racks Blog and it’s all about bike racks and cool things having to do with bike racks!  I’ve been allowed to take a swing at Tie Racks Blog, because I found a great tie rack that I really wanted to share!  First thing’s first.  I want to tell you about my favorite show of all-time, and that’s 24 the Show.  It stars the fellow from the Young Gunner movie, and now he saves America always.  But he is also fashionable in his clothing choices.  He favors ties.

I starting thinking how great it would be if Jack Bauer (the 24 guy) had a cool tie rack.  I starting thinking about what kind of rack he would have.  And then I found it, right on the site called Stacks and Stacks!  It’s called the 24-Hook Extendable Scarf and Neck Tie Hanger.  Now, obviously Jack Bauer will have nothing to do with scarves, unless he’s choking a suspect to get information on where the bomb is going to go off, but for ties it’s perfect!

The 24 Tie Rack fully extends for easy access, so you can grab your favorite tie and get out of the house fast, and it easily bolts to the wall or inner door of a cabinet or closet. Tough, durable and flexible clasps secure those ties and scarves in place, just like Jack Bauer defending democracy.  It’s the perfect rack for all your tie missions, and it could also be given as a thoughtful gift.  Made in the USA, of course!  Well that’s my suggestion, I hope you enjoyed it.  Thanks, Tie Rack fans!  Nice to meet you!
