Tie and scarf racks
A slide out tie or scarf rack is a great alternative to a typical hanger style tie rack. Fastened to the vertical side of a closet panel, these racks slide out to reveal ties or scarves.
Belt racks
Similar to tie racks, sliding belt racks slide for easy accessibility and then can be neatly put away. A great alternative to a hanger style belt rack.
