Coat racks add great flexibility and decorative appeal to any living space. Classic hall trees can be easily arranged to greet guests or corral gear at a rear entrance. They deliver additional height as well, becoming a stately presence to small or large entries and hallways. Ornates and high-backs with seating and storage renew the imposing character of a much earlier era when ladies would gather up parasols and check their petticoats. Woods, metals, and composites come to the forefront with many traditional and contemporary coat rack designs. Rustics, casual, and transitionals fall somewhere in between.
That is only the beginning, of course, as designers and manufacturers recognize that coat racks are timeless accessories to other home furnishings. Whether they're crafted to become generational family heirlooms or a fun and whimsical approach to organization, there's a perfect frame or silhouette that will suit your personality and that of your home.
Guests will enjoy hanging their coats on a stylish wood coat rack place in your entryway. Add a bright colored wood coat rack to your child's room for hanging jackets and backpacks. Blended with metals or sculpturally formed, they're suited to contemporary entries. In brown, it provides a welcoming presence and earthy influence. An expressive shade of brown is rich and savory.
