Hallway Coat Storage - Coat Cupboard

Perfect for: Organizing entryway clutter

What we like: Multiple storage features

Not great for: Small narrow spaces

This traditional hallway coat rack has a 300-pound bench weight over six spacious cubbies. In addition, there are four 15-pound capacity double hooks and an upper display shelf. Pick from three colors of contour-sided wood frame with crown molding.

Large wood entryway coat closets offer a classic look and a sturdy frame that supports significant weight. The high back and enclosed sides create the perfect place to sit or to display decor like pillows. And you can use the lower cubbies for shoes or baskets and the top ledge for storage or display of decorative items.

Huge space saver while keeping a nice look.

Perfect for: Adding a rustic industrial nuance

What we like: Diverse storage

Not great for: Weight over 200 lbs

This two-piece rustic industrial hallway storage keeps your entryway neat with a three-tier shoe bench for ten pairs of shoes and a separate three-cubby vintage coat rack with seven hooks and an upper open shelf.

Choosing a two-piece entryway coat and shoe storage gives you more versatility and a minimalistic look that you can’t get with a tall single-piece hall tree rack. A unique factor about choosing coat storage that comes in two pieces is that you can arrange them together. Or you can set them up as separate units in different hallway areas. 

The bench is the perfect height for my children and the shelf and rack are both sturdy and they were easy to assemble.

On the other hand, maybe you don’t have a square inch to spare.

When this is the case, it’s time to take advantage of vertical space. Hang a miniature coat storage cabinet on your wall, with little cubbies for keys, accessories, and even plants or other small types of decor.

Then, hang your coat beneath. It’ll become part of your muscle memory to take coats on and off these hooks because they’re so easily accessible! 

Perfect for: Compact hallways

What we like: Minimalistic multi-functional storage

Not great for: Over 250 pounds

This mixed-material hallway coat tree offers multiple storage solutions in a slim, minimalistic footprint in two color combinations. Store shoes in the two-tier metal rack, sit on the 250-lb bench, and hang things on two rows of 10-lb hooks.

Mixed material coat stands in black metal and natural wood offers diverse styles you can blend with any decor theme. You can get every function in a slim, understated footprint. An efficient entryway coat rack can include a top overhanging shelf, a front bar for holding hangers, two rows of double hooks, and a spacious single rack for tall boots. 

Organized my front entrance, and I like how the slats let your boots dry and the water runs through without puddling on the furniture.

On the other hand, maybe you want something with lots of parallel lines and ‘50s flair. In that case, check out a cabinet with beautiful slatted wood, a smaller bench, and metal accents to keep things interesting.

With a raised body, this type of shoe and coat storage cabinet will even feel lighter and airier than alternatives that sit flush to the ground. This can add utility without weighing down your space.

If a traditional, vintage look is more your vibe, select an armoire made out of heavy, beautiful wood. Get one with a drawer for shoe storage, and your hallway will rarely be cluttered ever again!

We love the minimal, comforting type of hardware that lets the beauty of the stained wood speak for itself, but the nice thing about coat cupboards like these is that you can switch up the hardware or even paint the wood to give this storage solution a fresh look. 

If you like the all-wood aesthetic but don’t quite have the room for a full, closed-door cabinet, try a bench that has a built-in (e.g., not wall-mounted) coat hanger component. With a backdrop of the same carved wood that decorates the sides of the bench, this type of cabinet is clearly one piece—but not one that will make your hallway feel closed-in.

This is an excellent option for farmhouse styles and smaller spaces. 

With muted blue-grey tones and just enough carving to keep things interesting, a cupboard with closed storage and soothing features is perfect for hallway storage. A large one, in particular, can be a great strategy to keep home clutter corralled.

We love a solid cabinet with stately accessories and an overall neutral feel. Trust us: Even though these types of cabinets may feel big, you’ll be thankful for every square inch. 

Hallways can be cramped, and sometimes you don’t have room for an entire cupboard. Yet you still want a place to sit down while you take off your shoes! Solve this problem with an attractive bench-and-hook coat-storage solution.

If black-and-white industrial aesthetics are your vibe, you’ll love a bench that has built-in drawers, lots of open space, and reclaimed wood for texture and style. These types of pieces add functionality and beauty to small spaces. 

Want to hang up more than just coats? If you’re hoping for a hallway storage unit that has options for long items, shelving, drawers, a shoe bench and more, you’re in luck. Selecting a modular, completely-open type of coat storage can be aesthetic and allow you to store beautiful items in unconventional corners.

We’d recommend selecting coat hangers that are the same color as the rack, if you’re going for an overall cohesive look. 

In need of a narrow solution for coat storage at home? Perhaps you need to fit your coat cabinet between two doorways or in an awkward corner.

Enter: A type of piece that’s slim, but full of functionality. An open-concept design will make your hallway appear larger, not smaller; and close-set hooks will allow you to hang more coats in a smaller space. 

If you want the flexibility of separate but coordinating pieces and all of the utility of a hallway coat rack with bench, you’re in luck: You can find wall-mounted coat cabinets that come with benches that go perfectly together!

We love a grey-toned wood as well for cupboards and benches in a modern style. Pro tip: If you opt for the type of hook that has two hooks in one fixture, you’ll double your storage potential!
