If your entryway is very small and lacks a closet of any kind, you might want to choose a wall-mounted coat rack. Consider a combination shelf and coat rack for additional organization. There are many different styles that combine shelf space, cubicle storage, and pegs for hanging coats, and by mounting a combination coat rack to the wall, you can conserve valuable floor space. If your entryway is small but has a closet, consider an over-the-door coat rack. These are easy to install, as they simply hang over the top of the door with the option to further secure them with screws. Over-the-door coat racks provide the option to hang the hooks facing out for convenient use in the fall and winter and facing in to store coats out of sight in the spring and summer.

Where should a coat rack be placed?

The most obvious place for a coat rack is in the entryway to organize all the incoming clutter, coats, and other accessories. But that isn't the only place. Coat racks can also be used in the bathroom to hang towels or robes. Some people put coat racks in the bedroom to organize clothes.

How do we choose a coat rack?

If you're mostly storing coats, look for racks that have deeper hooks to prevent them from slipping off. If you need a design that can accommodate both coats and smaller accessories, consider a rack that has hooks at two levels or varying heights.
