A clothing rack is a modern, stylish option for storing and displaying your clothes. It will make you feel like you’re shopping in an exclusive boutique every time you pick out an outfit. Some clothes racks even come with wheels so you can easily move it around if necessary.
Bellhop cart

Another unique way to hang your clothes is from something attached to the ceiling. There are many different materials you can use for this, such as piping, wire, or chains. You can achieve a stylish industrial look with this option and pull it off very inexpensively.
Bins under the bed
If you have no space to hang your clothes, opt for bins under the bed. There are a lot of storage bins made specifically for this purpose that will slide right under the bed or you can create a do-it-yourself option for something more unique.
