As you possibly can see, the room is kind of small (within the UK, the third bed room is often fairly small and we regularly jokingly discuss with it as a “field room”), which meant there wasn’t a lot area for the larger necessities like a wardrobe.

Not that I minded—I discover wardrobes to be like cumbersome outsized packing containers. So, I made a decision to create a DIY hanging rail from the ceiling!

It appears to be like so mild and minimal however nonetheless holds loads of garments. And, in fact, child garments are *the* cutest, so this DIY rail ended up trying aesthetically pleasing, too!

Thread your rope by means of one finish of the the department and make a knot. Do the identical with the opposite facet.

On the prime of the rope, make a loop knot.

Hold it up on one of many ceiling hooks and trim any extra rope.
