Choosing your coat rack


Wall-mounted or freestanding: which should you choose?

A wall-mounted model completely frees up floor space, which is important in a narrow entryway or hallway. However, it requires drilling. A freestanding model leaves no marks and can be moved as needed, but it takes up between thirty and fifty centimeters of floor space. In a rental, a freestanding model avoids any discussion with the landlord.

How many hooks do I need?

Allow one hook per person in the household for daily use, then two or three more for visitors and scarves. A couple can make do with four to six hooks. A family of four needs eight to ten. Beyond that, a freestanding model is better than an overloaded wall bar: coats get compressed and retain creases.

How to hang without drilling into the wall?

There are three options in the catalog. Adhesive models stick to a smooth surface and support a few kilos. Magnetic models attach to any ferromagnetic surface, metal door, or radiator, and can be repositioned at will. Over-the-door models hang over the door panel without any fasteners.

What height for a child's room?

Between one hundred and one hundred twenty centimeters from the floor for a child aged three to six, so they can hang up their coat by themselves without a stool. This is the condition for the action to become a habit. Our children's models are designed at this height.

How to choose a shoe cabinet?

Start with the number of pairs, then the available depth. An adult pair takes up about twenty-five centimeters in width per level. Closed models protect against dust and hide clutter; open models keep each pair visible and are quicker to organize. If you put your shoes on in the entryway, a model with a bench will change your daily routine.

Installation and maintenance


How to fix a wall-mounted coat rack?

First, identify the type of wall. For solid wall, concrete, or brick, a standard wall plug is sufficient. In a plasterboard partition, use metal expansion wall plugs, the only ones capable of supporting the weight of a wet winter coat. Preferably fix it at one hundred fifty or one hundred sixty centimeters from the floor for an adult.

How to maintain a wooden model?

A soft, slightly damp cloth is enough, wiped dry immediately. Avoid harsh household products and standing water, which dull the finish. Once a year, a wood oil nourishes the material and revives the color.

How to maintain a metal model?

A dry cloth for dust, a barely damp microfiber cloth for fingerprints on gold or chrome finishes. Dry without delay, especially in the bathroom where humidity promotes marks.

Can a coat rack go in the bathroom?

Yes, provided you choose a model designed for humidity. Metal finishes and quality adhesive fasteners withstand it better than raw wood. Steam and temperature variations cause low-end adhesives to peel off: this is the first point to check.
