Skip the spin cycle!

When it comes to your laundry room essentials, a dry clothes rack should definitely be at the top of the list. As much as we love the dry cycle, we’ve all learned that, sometimes, it can destroy our favorite garments. For such pieces—delicates and anything silk, cashmere, or wool—hang-drying is your best option. Trust us, you'll come to love it.

If you have an outdoor space big enough for a clothesline and want to dry your most fragile pieces in the sun, have at it, but for those who would rather keep their clothes indoors, opt for a dry clothes rack. Ahead, we picked out our favorite finds from the most popular retailers including Pottery Barn, Wayfair, and, of course, Amazon. The best part? We spotlighted a massive range, both in price and style.

So if you’re looking for a quick find that won't cost too much, scroll for a few foldable and collapsible pieces for less than $40. On the other hand, if you want your dry clothes rack to make a design-centric statement in the , there are plenty of luxurious options that mount right onto the wall.

No matter which dry clothes rack you pick, you’re bound to enjoy laundry day a little bit more. At the very least, it won't be so much of a chore and you may even be tempted to skip the dryer altogether!

Available in chrome and white, this steel dry clothes rack is basic in the best way. After all, if you don't have tons of space to spare, this foldable and collapsible option is a good find. When it's closed, you can tuck it away pretty much anywhere.

Next up is an option by Dotted Line, which is similar in concept to the previous dry clothes rack with a few key differences. First, this one is made of bamboo. Second, it's slightly bigger giving you more space to hang-dry your garments. It's also still foldable and collapsible, so you can stow it away easily.

If you are loyal to your dryer and only hang certain pieces such as delicates and bathing suits, there's no need for a giant dry clothes rack. Instead, opt for a small wall-mounted silhouette that folds out. If this looks a little too small for your laundry needs, rest assured, it comes in a bigger size.

This is a wall mount like no other—especially if your laundry room is on the small side. All you have to do is attach it to the ceiling (or turn it sideways and mount it to the wall) and hang dry anything you don't want to shrink in the dryer.

We love a dry clothes rack on wheels, and this Yamazaki find is one of our top picks. It's slender enough to store in those awkward nooks between furniture (or even the washer and dryer). It has two tiers and a little shelf for detergent, pods, and dryer balls.

If this looks way too big, hear us out. It folds up to just 24 inches wide and 42 inches tall, so you can stick it anywhere you have a little extra room. As you can see, there is tons of room to hang everything from towels to silk blouses to slippers. Did we mention it's more than $100 off?

This dry clothes rack may look simple, but it's made by Iris Hantverk, an early 20th-century small brush manufacturer based in Stockholm. It gives hand-made a whole new meaning. Plus, when you're not using it, just fold it in half—it's barely two inches wide.

Made of 100% pure hard maple, this Schoolhouse dry clothes rack comes pre-assembled with 37 square feet of drying space, so feel free to dry pretty much everything on here. There's also a flat middle shelf for drying garments sans creases.

You won't find a more heavy-duty dry clothes rack than this one, which mounts to the wall and pulls out like an accordion. It may be on the expensive side, but it is on sale for $70 off. Also, it's made of super-sturdy steel with a chrome-plated finish and includes a walnut shelf.

The most efficient way to hang clothes to dry is to keep enough space between each garment and spread them out. If your clothes are folded or smushed together, they'll take longer to dry.

There may not be a best place to dry clothes indoors, but there are a few bad places, including the bathroom or any space that's considerably humid. We'd suggest keeping your drying clothes in an area with good air circulation, like the laundry room.

When it comes to finding the best and most affordable pieces, the House Beautiful shopping editors know where to look. We've included a range of pieces that can work in just about any space—no matter your style.
