Clothes Airer

A clothes airer is the ultimate indoor drying solution, especially for Australian households looking to make the most of their available space while cutting down on energy usage. 

Whether you live in a compact apartment, a busy family home, or just want to reduce reliance on the tumble dryer, ceiling-mounted clothes airers offer a smart and efficient way to handle your laundry needs.

These innovative drying systems use overhead space to dry clothing naturally, maximising airflow and sunlight exposure where possible, while keeping your floors free and clear. 

With a focus on functionality and style, our range of ceiling clothes airers includes both traditional pulley systems and modern electric units to suit every home and lifestyle.

Ceiling Clothes Airer Versus Drying Racks

Unlike typical drying racks or foldable units that take up valuable floor room, ceiling-mounted airers are designed to be hoisted up and out of the way. 

Installed directly into your ceiling, they pull down smoothly using a pulley system, giving you ample space to hang garments, towels, or sheets, and then raise them back up for airing and drying.

This method allows your laundry to dry using warm indoor air or filtered outdoor light—especially helpful during rain or colder seasons when outdoor drying isn’t an option. 

With modern homes often lacking traditional backyard clotheslines, indoor drying racks like ceiling airers provide a durable, long-term solution for your laundry setup.

We stock top-tier brands including:

Kitchen Maid – Traditional craftsmanship with cast iron ends and timber laths
Foxydry – Stylish Italian-designed airers, ideal for minimalist homes
Airaus – Electric drying systems with heating, fans, and remote controls
Topline – Feature-rich drying racks with built-in lighting and UV sterilisation

Whether you’re drying clothes for a family of five or just managing your weekly essentials, our drying rack collection is built to make laundry day easier and more manageable.

Better Than Clothes Horses

Traditional clothes horses have long been used for indoor drying, but ceiling-mounted airers take this classic concept to a whole new level. 

While foldable clothes horses are still useful in certain situations, they often take up floor space and can be unstable when loaded with heavy, wet laundry.

Our ceiling clothes airers are engineered for both quality and performance. 

With durable materials like aluminium, stainless steel, and sustainably sourced wood, they’re built to withstand daily use. 

Whether you're drying delicate garments or bulky bedding, these airers are up to the task—no pegs or outdoor setups required.

Many homeowners use their ceiling airers in tandem with floor-based clothes horses, giving them extra racks for drying or airing specific types of clothing. 

Some families even keep a basket nearby to store freshly dried clothes, ready to fold and put away.

Designed to Complement Modern Homes

Ceiling clothes airers are as much about aesthetics as they are about practicality:

- Available in a wide range of finishes, sizes, and styles
- Designed to blend seamlessly into your laundry room, bathroom, hallway, or utility area.
- Compact models for small apartments and studios
- Longer racks for family-sized loads
- Electric systems for ease of use at the touch of a button
- Manual pulley airers for traditional charm and eco-efficiency

With many models inspired by classic drying methods and enhanced with modern technology, these airers are a complete solution for everyday laundry challenges.

Indoors or Outdoors—You Choose

Although designed for indoor use, many ceiling airers are also suitable for outdoor or semi-covered spaces. 

Installing one in a garage, covered patio, or verandah lets you take advantage of fresh air and sunlight, even during the wetter months. 

No more worrying about unexpected rain ruining your freshly washed clothes.

For renters or those with limited outdoor access, these clothes airers offer the flexibility to dry laundry in any room—without needing permanent fixtures that damage walls or floors.

Energy Efficient and Eco-Friendly

Reducing reliance on energy-intensive appliances like the tumble dryer is not only good for your wallet but also better for the planet. 

Ceiling-mounted drying racks help cut down on electricity bills and lower your household’s carbon footprint. In fact, switching to a clothes airer can save up to 1.5 tonnes of carbon emissions per year.

Because these airers work with the natural airflow in your home, they help preserve fabric quality by avoiding the high heat and agitation found in most tumble dryers. 

That means your clothes stay looking new for longer, with less wear and tear over time.
