Ideas for choosing the right hall trees from your unique style
Hall trees come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and styles and sometimes called entryway benches or coat racks. To find the right one for your home, you will want to take into consideration the materials, details, and overall construction of an entryway bench. If your home is more of a transitional or contemporary style, look for a hall tree that is wood with classical details. A white painted coat tree bench with bead board is a great example of a piece that could work well with this space. If you are leaning toward a more traditional style, a solid stained wood storage bench with coat rack is a great option. Alternatively, a home with an industrial or modern style might look to mix wood and metal, unique materials, or a piece with a minimal profile.
Where hall trees work best in your home
Hall trees are a natural fit near entryways or mudrooms. Because they are meant to be used as storage for coats and outdoor gear, it makes sense to place one in any area where you will need organization and placement for clothing layers. If you have an at-home workshop or art space, incorporating a hall tree is a great way to manage clothing specific to one of those tasks. One unique way to incorporate these pieces into your home is to use it in a child’s playroom or bedroom. You can store dress-up clothes, toys, or items that have multiple pieces for play.
The best hall trees: what to look for
The best hall trees will have a combination of hooks, storage, and style. The storage might include shelving above hooks or a seat that lifts open. A hall tree is all about having a piece of furniture that goes beyond simply storing something; it adds decorative style to your space. It is one of those great furniture pieces that has a lot of versatility but does not overwhelm a hall or entryway. If it is near a front door, it will be one of the first things that guests see, so it can set the tone for the level of warmth and style one might expect in your home.
