Wall Hooks & Coat Racks

Where do you place wall hooks and cloakrooms?

Wall hooks and coat racks are more than handy, functional objects.  Most are designed with their own personality that can add style to any room in your home.  When choosing a wall hook or coat rack, consider the space available, as well as the number and types of items that will need to be stored in it.

• The most obvious place for wall hooks and cloakrooms is the entrance area, as this is where you usually undress from winter clothes when enjoying the warmth of your home.  It should be noted that the wardrobe is likely to carry a lot of weight.  So if you choose a wall-mounted option, it needs to be installed properly (see Tip 4).
• Toilets tend to be tight spaces so you can benefit from using single wall hooks to store towels, for example.  You can also choose from a range of wall hooks built into a wall shelf.  These fit well above toilets or higher up your bathroom wall and can hold towels, loofahs, clothing, and even necklaces.  The shelf offers additional space for toilet paper, toiletries or decorative items.
• You have more space to work in the bedroom.  Here you can try a corner unit that has hooks for clothes, shelves for shoe storage down, and space for extra storage of important items upstairs.
• If you’re working with a large open space, consider a standing cloakroom.  These can be placed next to your couch and offer guests a comfortable place for hats and scarves.  Choosing the right material and the right color makes this practical piece of furniture a statement in itself.

How do you choose the perfect wardrobe for your needs?

Think of your wardrobe as the finishing touch – or an accent piece.  If you are currently working with shabby chic decor, a pastel-colored hook or frame with metal parts, for example, fits this style exactly.  If you want your wardrobe to be hidden in the background, so to speak, you can choose a color that will match your walls.  On the other hand, if you prefer clean walls or just want to use certain pieces of art for your walls, you can use a standing frame.  Plus, this style is mobile.  So if you want to move it to another room, it’s as easy as picking it up and putting it down.

Think how many coats, scarves, and hats will be hung on your rack.  Billing family members is pretty straightforward, but also take into account how many guests you can accommodate at one time.  This way you will have a good idea of ??the number of hooks you will need.

Sometimes you have limited space.  For example, if you have a small hall closet and want to try adding a coat rack, a wall-mounted coat rack is a great option.  This style is literally easy to store away and offers an average of six hooks (along with some shelf space!).  They are space-saving and fit perfectly into tiny cabinets.
