Coat Racks
Ideas for choosing the right coat racks and umbrella stands for your unique style
Coat racks and umbrella stands are all about function and style for your entryway or mud room. The key for choosing the right piece for your home is to find one that works with your particular style. If you love transitional decor, you have a lot of options to choose from! Look for geometric patterns and understated details as a jumping off point in your search. For a more contemporary look, you can find pieces that play up metallics, like brass coat rack options for instance, or options that have a sculptural or minimalist aesthetic. If your home is more lodge style, where perhaps a rustic coat rack would work well, you'll want to celebrate the natural finish. Look for animal or log motifs as well as antique coat rack finishes.

Questions of Scale: What are the best coat racks for small and big spaces?
A coat rack with an umbrella stand works best in your home when it is scaled appropriately to your space. If your entryway or mudroom has a small footprint, consider a wall mounted coat stand instead. It saves space and utilizes unused wall areas, while bringing in style at the same time. If you have a larger space or a full-sized room dedicated to outdoor gear, you can use the floor space for a coat tree or standing coat rack. It adds beautiful style to your space, but requires square footage for the stand itself and some visual breathing room around it.
Choosing between wall mount and stand coat hangers
Wall mounted coat racks are great for both saving space and organization. You can hang a wooden coat rack or two on your wall in an entryway. It will reduce clutter and provide a place for coats without overwhelming the space. If you want added styling and have the room to accommodate a coat hanger stand, there are many to choose from that will enhance the overall look of the room. Many homeowners choose to incorporate both, placing a modern coat rack on the wall and a decorative stand coat hanger in their entryway.
