Drying racks

As soon as a drying rack has done its job, it should just go away somewhere until you need it again. Ours fold up to make it easier to store them once they've turned your big pile of wet clothes from the washing basket into dry clothes. Many can be used both indoors and outside in the sunshine, too.

Types of drying rack for every home

We offer a wide range of drying racks to suit every space, preference and need. Our selection is always evolving, but some of the most popular types of drying rack you’ll find at IKEA include:

Wall mounted drying rack designs

A wall mounted drying rack is a smart solution for making the most of vertical space in your laundry room. Designed for more permanent installation, these racks let you drape clothes over the bars or hang garments on hangers with plenty of airflow for quick drying. A wall mounted drying rack keeps your laundry organised without taking up valuable floor space.

Retractable drying rack styles for flexible use

Retractable drying racks are available in various styles, from hanging racks with clips to compact, foldable racks. Hanging laundry racks are especially useful for smaller or lightweight items such as socks, hats, gloves, swimwear and undergarments. Some designs feature retractable hangers, making your drying rack even more space-saving when not in use. These racks are perfect for flats, small utility rooms or anywhere you need a flexible drying solution.

Freestanding clothes drying racks for any space

Freestanding drying racks are a versatile choice for any home or budget. Easy to open and fold away, these racks can be used in almost any room and are simple to store when not needed. Some freestanding drying racks are compact enough to fit inside the bath—ideal for dripping wet towels or swimwear. If you often swim or have damp towels from sports, a folding drying rack makes a handy pop-up towel rail. You can even use it outdoors on the balcony or in the garden to let the fresh air speed up drying.

No matter the size of your space or your laundry routine, you’ll find a drying rack at IKEA that helps keep your clothes organised and makes drying simple and efficient.
