Ceiling-Mounted Racks

Hang your wardrobe up to the ceiling, go for a ceiling rack of any materials that fit the space. It can be made of metal pipes, leather, branches, rope or anything else that you like. The look of the shelf is totally up to your space: it can be industrial, so you can use only metal pipes, it can be minimalist, so you’ll go for some metal pipes or wood and yarn of your choice. Make a stylish statement with a brass or copper rack of pipe, rather tall one, attached to the ceiling – looks wow!
