If you're ever in a housing situation where you have very little furniture and need a way to hang clothes and keep items off the floor consider using wall-mounted hooks to hold folding chairs. You can keep the chairs folded against the wall to save space or pull them out to use as a rod for clothes hangers and store items on the seat.
This idea comes from the weblog of German design professor Yi Cong Lu. You'll need to have folding chairs with a hole along the backrest—inexpensive Ikea Terje chairs will work well for this and equivalents can be found at most big-box stores.
