Wall-mounted drying racks are a classic small space solution, and air drying is regaining popularity thanks to the significant energy savings you gain from avoiding the electric dryer...

This is what is used in backcountry huts here in Canada (LOTS of wet stuff when skiing in the winter). The plus is that wet stuff also dries faster higher up, since warm air rises.
