If you can hang your clothing in a somewhat ventilated space, it is usually nicer to not completely dry your clothing, but hang it up slightly damp. This saves not only some energy, but gives you less wrinkles.

Also, if you want to iron something, it better be not completly dry or you have to wet it a little bit for ironing.

These are good tips but are likely dependent on the humidity of where you live. Here in the UK, since the air can be so damp, it's difficult to dry clothes without leaving it in direct sunlight for the 3-4 days per year that we get it, particularly the further north you go...

If the air inside is cold and humid you may want a dehumidifier, it will save heating costs and reduce mold and mildew.

Here in Germany it can be quite wet too, but in a heated room, even clothes directly out of the washer, without running the dryer, would dry over night. But yes, hanging up damp clothing assumes it would dry reasonably quick :)
