May I take your coat?
Coat racks, hangers, and hooks: they are all very useful but often an eyesore when not covered up by some piece of clothing. This post introduces you to some coat racks you can show off. Both useful and decorative, that’s dual functionality! Need I say more?
Among the coat racks found in my stylefeed my current favorite is the Ivy modular coat rack. Besides having great lines and functionality I love the fact that its modular. This allow you to both adapt the size of the coat rack to your needs and to the space it inhabits. If you are a family of 13 you can expand the coat rack so there is room for everyone’s coat. And if your hallway is the size of Taj Mahal you can decorate an entire wall with the Ivy coat rack. No need to hold back!
I also like the curvy and girly Forget-me-not coat hooks by Charlotte Lancelot. They come in white, black, orange, and red.
I have inherited a love for trees from my dad. I do think he would approve of these Hall Tree coat hooks and the Tree coat hanger by Michael Young and Katrin Petursdottir, even though I suspect he would have preferred the prior in wood rather than stainless steel. He loves anything wooden… Maybe Aysia, the Tastemaker Diaries’ in house eco fashionista would agree with him?
Martin Kleinhans’ wardrobe is another modular system for hanging up your clothes. It allows you to organize shelves and hooks as you please on a colorful wall fixture. The smart Hook box does not only provied you with a hook for your coat, but also a box for your gloves and earmuffs, and other items that are hard to hang.
The fun and colorful Pulpo Drop coat rack by Julian Appelius would make quite a statement in a bold hallway, and a row of BASTIS hooks from IKEA would brighten any child’s room at the great price of $1.99 a piece. What kid wouldn’t like to hang their clothes on a dog’s butt?
Mr Mrs Hangup and Fifi & Fafa wall hangers are great examples of his and her hooks. My personal favorite is the latter with their clean lines and not-so-subtle gender attributes. Lets face it, us girls have twice as much clothes to hang anyways.
The HANG wall hooks from Seletti come with instructions, so there should be no excuse for not hanging up your coat. Another favorite of mine: the Footprint shoe rack by Charlotte Tangye come in both children and adult sizes and leaves no doubt what its for.
Fellow Stylefeeder member hzwicker, a favorite on my watchlist, shared this bird coat rack by Icelandic Stella Design with me.
Do you know of a decorative, interesting or fun coat rack/hook/hanger design? Please post a comment and share with the rest of us ![]()

hey, thanks for the shout out! i love the kleinhans: very chic. have you see the droog contraption that’s essentially a bunch of horizontal elastic straps on a colorful background? here, wait, i’ll see if i can find it: http://www.droogdesign.nl/ then click products, then strap. don’t know about it for shoes, but i can think of lots of other great uses for it — scarves, newspapers, etc.
loved the light-emitting wallpaper the other day, too.

Hi Heather,
I love those straps and the idea of using them for newspapers and magazines. I haven’t looked at Droog Design for a while so I ended up spending some time there. Thanks for reminding me

I love the dog hangers and have a couple hanging here in England. I love really unique furniture and a company called SacredStitches makes unique hand-crafted cushions so check them out! http://www.sacredstitches.co.uk
