Doing laundry is no one’s favourite chore, even more so when you don’t have much space to work with. Don’t even get us started on how hard it’s been with the bad weather looming, either. If you live in an apartment or space with no balcony, drying your clothes can also seem like a mountainous task. When it comes to powering through washing day and getting those clothes dried inside, it’s all about finding the right clothes airer.

For the most part, people typically reach for those cheap and cheerful rectangular folding clothes racks. Yes, they’re inexpensive, but they also break easily and only provide one way to help your clothes dry in one shape. If you’re limited in space, or you’ve got specific drying needs, those racks can be less than helpful. That’s where these unusual clothes airers could come to the rescue.

This 3 tier dryer can hold two loads of washing, so it’s incredibly economical and efficient. It also features flip-out corners, which create 12 extra hanger spaces for things like shirts and dresses. It’s safe, sturdy and incredible space efficient — a winner all round.

There’s also no assembly required for this one which makes it incredibly easy to use (because nobody has time to be battling against their clothes airer every couple of days). Just unfold, hang and off you go!

If you’ve got kids (or pets), it can be as challenging keeping clothes on an airing rack as it is putting them there in the first place. Jojck’s Drying Shelf solves this problem with up to 30 clips to hang and dry small personal items such as underwear and socks – the exact kind of thing that your cat probably delights in pulling down when you’re forced to dry them inside. Its small shape also makes it highly suitable to hang in very small spaces, which could be useful if you’ve got an internal boiler or similar warm space to dry your clothes.
