You should choose a wall mounted coat rack with shelf that’s comfortable to use, offers enough room for what you want to store in it, and matches your foyer’s décor.
Start by looking for a wall mounted coat rack with shelf that can easily fit in the most practical spot for you to grab or remove your coat before leaving the house or just after coming back (measuring that space is key!). You should find one that offers enough hooks for your family members and frequent guests; if you want more flexibility, you can always opt for a model with a rod, instead.
As for the shelf, consider what you’re planning on storing or displaying on it first so that you can find a model that’s the right fit.
Finally, don’t overlook its design. Choose a wall mounted coat rack with shelf in a familiar color and finish that contrasts against your wall, as well as in a style that matches your interiors.
When it comes to choosing the correct size of wall mounted coat rack with a shelf, it will depend on your available space, its intended purpose, and the number of people who will be using it.
Your available space is the first factor and most essential when choosing a coat rack, so ensure it fits comfortably in your entrance hall, foyer, or mudroom. Next, coat racks come with pre-installed hooks or pegs, and it's not uncommon to find them equipped with 5 to 6 hooks. This is usually sufficient if you plan on just hanging up coats.
But if you need space for hats and scarves too, consider a rack with more hooks. Whether you have a small or large family, 6 hooks are usually sufficient for using your rack to hang up coats.
One of the nice things about wall-mounted coat racks with shelf features is that they can be more than just a coat rack! On the shelf above your coats, you should be able to place a few potted plants or some lightweight books in order to add some decor to this corner of your home.
We’d recommend mixing practicality with lovely accents by placing your sunglasses and a small, pretty bowl to hold by-the-door accessories on this shelf, along with a vase or two that coordinate nicely with other colors in the area.
