# How to Create a Hanging Clothes Rack From a Wall in a Room With No Closet
Creating a space to hang clothing in a room with no closet is a simple project. Closet bar supports make it possible for you to put a shelf on top. This allows you to have a ready-made “closet” without much work. Because this arrangement will bear a heavy load of clothing, you need to attach both supports to the wall where there are studs underneath. This means your closet will be at least 16 inches long.
