Coat racks and wall hooks
The walled coat rack clears the entrance: wooden or metal hook bars, coat hooks with colorful balls, hat racks with wooden balls, simple hooks to screw in. It holds coats, bags, scarves and hats without taking up floor space.
A hook at child height helps little ones tidy up by themselves.
Wall coat rack or hooks?
The wall coat rack, a bar with several hooks, can hold the coats of the whole family at once. Hooks, fixed one by one, can be arranged freely, in a line or staggered, and fit a narrow wall. The hat rack, with its wooden balls, also holds bags and scarves.
What height to fix a coat rack?
For adults, about 1.60 to 1.80 m from the floor, depending on the length of the coats, which should not drag. For children, a second row at about 1 m allows them to hang their things. Leave enough space between the hooks so that the winter coats don't get crowded.
Wood or metal?
The wooden coat rack warms up an entrance and matches Scandinavian and natural styles. Metal, black or lacquered, gives an industrial or graphic look. Coloured balls add a playful touch, ideal for a child's room.
What to check before buying
Count the number of hooks you need and add one or two for guests. Check the load that the coat rack can support: several wet winter coats can be quite heavy. Make sure to use suitable wall plugs.
How to properly fix a coat rack
On a solid wall, standard plugs and screws are sufficient. On a plasterboard partition, use expansion plugs, which are stronger. Check the level with a spirit level before drilling the second hole.
What brands of coat racks are available?
Among the brands available are: Hubsch Interior and Present Time for wooden and metal coat racks and hat racks with balls, Rex London for colour ball hooks and wall mounts, Villa Collection, Casa Selección and Qualy. Complete your setup with storage boxes or a range of storage solutions for a neat entrance.
How to maintain a coat rack?
A dry cloth is enough for wood, a damp cloth for lacquered metal. Tighten the screws from time to time: the weight of the coats can loosen them. Avoid hanging wet clothes on an untreated wooden coat rack.

Frequently asked questions
How many hooks should I plan for?
One per person at minimum, plus one or two for guests. A double hook can hold a coat and a bag.
Can you fix a coat rack without drilling?
For light items, adhesive hooks are sufficient. For coats, a screwed fixation is safer.
Where to put a coat rack in a small entrance?
Behind the door or on a narrow wall, with hooks placed higher up. A door coat rack takes up no floor space.
Can a hat rack be used for anything else?
Yes: bags, scarves, helmets, necklaces. Its wooden balls don’t mark the fabrics.
How to align several hooks?
Draw a line with a pencil and spirit level and measure equal gaps between each hook. A cardboard template speeds up drilling.
