Hooks & Racks

The humble coat rack is one of those pieces that has the ability to extend a warm welcome from the moment you get home. It’s there ready and waiting, offering to lighten the load, and perfectly poised at all times of day. If you want to be able to create the cosy porch or hallway that welcomes your visitors to come in, we’re ready and waiting to guide you through your storage options. 

You could pair your new addition with one of our many baskets so you have somewhere to store shoes or umbrellas. This homely touch could be just what’s needed when you want to remove the clutter with a touch of style. Continue the journey and you’ll be able to set the tone in a way that instantly makes you feel right at home. Ideal when you want to feel at peace behind your front door. 

Finding the Right Storage Idea

A coat stand can become so much more than a freestanding set of hooks when you use it the right way. We love the idea of seeing it as a cross between an ornamental installation and a helpful organiser. The way in which the lines of the metal and the finish of the piece combine are sure to help enrich your surroundings. If you then continue the theme with matching handles on your doors, you could be onto something. 

Others love the idea of browsing our collection of trunks so that they can add something a little more artisan to their home. Picture a sturdy trunk set alongside something playful and fun like our Octopus Hook and you’ll get a real sense of what you could create. The point here is that you can really dress the hallway in so many ways, and that you don’t have to feel confined to a single school of design. After all, it’s the playful, unique touches that so often let your personality elevate your decor. 

Another option worth closer consideration is our Iron Bird Hook. This is a piece that elegantly combines artisan craftsmanship with industrial finishing, resulting in a unique sense of charm. It has the ability to combine style and substance in a way few other pieces can, largely due to the impact that the lines have on the surrounding space. If you want to be able to set the tone for the rest of the home, pieces like this are what make it possible. 

There are also more understated pieces in the shape of our Rattan Wall Hook that allows you to set the tone if you want something more natural. The charming nature of the finish is supported by the elegance of the lines, all combining to create a piece that is sure to make you smile. This is one of those ideas that you can then pick up and run with if you want to be able to create a light and breezy ambience that works in all seasons. 

The art of selecting the correct coat rack stand is closely aligned to the method of picking suitable vintage storage boxes. You need to be able to leave a little space for future expansion, but not choose something so large that it overpowers its surroundings. Think about balance and alignment and you’ll have a much clearer idea of how everything will fit together. 

How to Mount Your New Hooks

Picking hooks you can easily mount is simple when you come to the experts. All of our offerings come with simple-to-follow instructions and can be hung by those with only modest DIY experience. Here’s a few tips that will ensure everything goes smoothly from beginning to end: 

• Measure twice and fit once to ensure that you have the perfect height and orientation 

• Match the height of your wall hooks to that of your freestanding coat stand to create a sense of balance 

• Take care not to chip or scratch the finish while you’re screwing your new hooks into the wall 

The hallway can become cluttered and crowded before you know it, but it doesn’t have to. A trunk for winter wear, a wood box for summer wear, and a bench down the side are all you need to get organised. You don’t have to add them all — they’re just starting points so you can get your creativity flowing.
