A wall mounted coat rack is the perfect solution to a cluttered front entryway or mudroom in your home. If you don’t have a closet near your front door, you can save valuable space by eliminating free-standing coat racks and mounting a rack on the wall beside your door instead.
If you have a bench in your entryway, the ideal spot to hang a wall mounted coat rack is directly above it. Doing so contains the protrusion from the wall to one area so that you can maximize the amount of floor space near the door.
Those who have a closet in their front entryway or mudroom but are short on hanging space, wall mounted coat racks can provide additional storage within the closet. Mount your coat racks against the closet’s back wall, so there are additional hooks available for less frequently used jackets. Coats that are in season can still be placed on traditional hangers for easy access at the front of the closet, creating an organized storage system that makes the most of a small space.
Ensure you choose a wall mounted coat rack that coordinates with your current decor scheme. A metal wall mounted coat rack is ideal for a minimal, industrial, or farmhouse home, while wooden coat racks are suitable for French country or shabby chic aesthetics.
A metal wall mounted coat rack is a fantastic organization tool for your home. The height at which you hang your coat rack is determined by who is using the coat rack, what you are hanging on the rack, and what looks most proportional to your space.
If you are using your wall mounted rack for coats and jackets, the general rule is to mount it 5’ from the ground. This is the perfect height to allow most people to reach the hooks easily and keep longer coats off the floor. A coat rack that is used specifically by children needs to be lowered to 3’. Adjust the height a few inches if necessary to incorporate the rack into your space in a visually pleasing way.
Wall-mounted coat racks are a great addition to homes with limited space. So while you may not have a lot of floor space, you can use your wall-mounted coat racks to maximize your wall space attractively and functionally.
While wooden wall-mounted coat racks are commonly used in homes with a traditional style and theme, metal ones are used in industrial and contemporary homes. When it comes to durability, we'd have to say that metal coat racks are built to last.
