Many people forgo installing a large wardrobe in the hallway and opt to put up an elegant clothes rack. Modern, elaborate standing hangers, are able to hold a really large number of jackets and coats, and at the same time their fancy designs provide a strong decorative accent to the hallway. So what should guide your choice and how to buy the best standing coat rack?
How to choose the right clothes rack?
When choosing a coat rack, it is worth considering how many clothes you will actually store on it and how often you receive visitors to your home who will hang their jackets and coats on it. If you are not expecting numerous visitors, you might opt for a delicate hanger such as the "Dimos" model. Its modest but stable construction is a combination of beech wood and metal. For more demanding customers, extended hangers, which can accommodate a large number of outer garments and additionally store, for example, umbrellas or handbags, will be more suitable. Another very important consideration is the structural stability of the coat rack and, in particular, the solidity of its base. The hanger should remain upright even if clothes are only hung on one side of it. Attention should also be paid to the angle at which the hooks are mounted - it should not be too sharp, as clothes will hang on top of each other; it should not be too flat, so that a heavy coat or jacket does not slip off the hanger.
Decorative and functional clothes rack
Standing clothes hangers should first and foremost be functional, but they should also play a decorative role in the hallway. What are the characteristics of a practical clothes hanger? First and foremost, it has numerous pegs. Both the smaller ones, designed for clothes with ribbons for hanging, and the thicker ones, finished with a ball, onto which jackets and coats are thrown, are useful. The times when clothes hangers came in just a few styles are long behind us! Modern designs are elaborate, well thought-out but also extremely decorative. The combination of materials such as wood, metal and stone creates very interesting-looking clothes hangers that can be easily adapted to the most varied decorative styles. In addition, each piece constructed from these natural raw materials is resistant to heavy use and the passage of time.
Standing clothes hanger vs interior design
Minimalist designs will blend in with a modernist or retro style - they will serve their purpose while not stifling their surroundings. Despite their small size, such hangers are stable and sturdy - able to hold even heavy winter clothing. The delicate hooks do not deform the fabric, and the sharp upward angle ensures that clothes have no chance of slipping off.

This type of design looks great against the backdrop of the glamour style, full of glitz, glamour and rich ornamentation. On such elaborate clothes hangers you can successfully store not only your outer garments, but also hats, gloves, umbrellas, handbags and even backpacks. The more utility elements, the more functions!
