A social media user has shared a handy way to maximise your wardrobe space and create more room for your clothes.

The hack was shared by Australia-based lifestyle TikToker Chantel, also known as @mama_mila_, who often posts handy content around organisation and keeping your house in order.

One of her recent videos, which has been viewed over 50,000 times, is about wardrobe storage hacks that you'll "wish you knew sooner".

In the clip, she takes the ring pull and inserts it through the metal part at the top of the hanger. Then, she hangs a separate garment on the same hanger by hooking the head through the piece of aluminium.

She says this is the "perfect way to double the hanging space in your wardrobe".

In the same video, she shared a couple of other inexpensive ways to maximise your storage space and keep your clothes more organised.

One of these was to hang your jeans up via the belt hook rather than keeping them folded away on shelves, as this can mean they take up a lot of room.

She also recommended using two hangers to store long dresses, folding the garment over the second hanger to stop it draping on the floor, which "halves the vertical length".

Another one of her tips was to keep track of the clothes you wear
