While its practicality has remained unmatched since the 19th century, coat racks have become a staple in many households. It is a fashionable and convenient way to keep entryways, hallways, and foyers organized and have your outerwear disposable whenever you need to head out again. 

Whether it is a simple wall-mounted rack or a stand with additional storage, there is always a great option to suit your home’s needs, especially in colder cities and areas. 

With various materials, styles, and configurations, we can provide an efficient way to keep your entryways organized and match your decor as well.

What Makes a Coat Rack Essential?

For the most part coat racks are a great storage solution for people when people want to take off and set down a large coat or sweater. Though they are more popular in places with colder temperatures, the idea of having an area to set your things down after entering your home or other establishment is universal. 

Having convenience and availability when entering or leaving is very useful and can translate to other types of entryway decor as simple as a key holder/jar or a shoe rack. 

While it may not always be used for heavy winter coats, having a designated coat rack with shelves to place, hats, purses, and other accessories adds convenience and reminds you to bring your essentials with you before you leave.

Types of Coat Racks

Keeping your entryway organized is just as much about your habits as it is about what type of rack you choose to furnish your entryway with. 

Having the right styles and features can really make a difference in the way you use your rack and this can be said about other sorts of furniture too. 

Here we will be breaking down some of our most popular modern coat racks to help you get your home feeling more functional and elegant.

Freestanding

If you are seeking something that’s not too flashy and is easy to set up, a standing coat rack is just the thing for you. They are a timeless choice for many and are able to be placed just about anywhere because they are freestanding. 

They provide multiple hooks to place all your clothing essentials and accessories which are useful not only in entryways but in offices, and guest rooms as well. They are available in wood, metal, and other materials so you can be sure they will match your look and aesthetic.

Wall Mounted

If you need something that is low profile and can fit into a small area or corner of the house, a wall-mounted coat rack may be your best option. Although they cannot be moved around as easily, their small form factor makes them perfect for small spaces and entryways where floor space can be very valuable. 

They are available in small configurations of just a couple of hooks and can range up to 10 or more hooks.

Bench

For those who value convenience and don’t have issues with space, consider adding a coat rack bench to your home. 

Not only do you have hooks and shelves to place all your clothes and accessories, but you also have a bench to sit down and collect yourself before heading out. It can be used to place a bag or hat as you are heading out or as a spot to take off your shoes when coming home for dinner.

Over-The-Door

If you are not looking to drill any holes into your wall or are renting out your home, an over-the-door coat rack is a great choice. 

These lightweight and low-profile pieces require virtually no installation and can easily hang over any standard door. Though they are designed for entrances, they can easily be fashioned into bedroom doors or bathrooms to hang up essentials such as backpacks, towels, and more. 

They do not take up any floor or wall space and are best suited for small homes, dormitories, and apartments.

Features & Considerations

If you’re still on the fence about which coat rack to buy or what style you want, there are a few factors you should consider before completing your next purchase. Below are a couple of things to keep in mind to help you guide your decision.

• Consider Your Space: Although you may want a rack with a nice bench and lots of hooks, it may not be suitable for a small space. Even if you like it a lot it may actually become more inconvenient rather than choosing something more space-efficient.

• Consider Storage: Make sure to accommodate your lifestyle with your rack. Though a freestanding coat rack may feel more chic, if you find yourself carrying a lot of accessories and don’t want to forget them, consider purchasing a coat and shoe rack or one with a shelf or basket for added convenience.

• Match Your Style: Whether you prefer an elegant modern look or a rustic farmhouse aesthetic, pick a rack that matches your style. From industrial metal or natural wood coat racks, ensure that your rack of choice complements your home's aesthetic.
