Sustainable Wall Coat Racks and Hat Racks.

Mulbury's Guide to Choosing the Perfect Custom Wall Coat Rack or Hat Rack.

Wall Mounted, entryway recycled wood coat racks - custom made 💚

Ah, the humble coat rack. It’s that unsung hero by your front door, keeping your jackets, hats, and bags off the floor and out of chaos. But choosing the right coat rack isn't just about convenience, it's about style, character, and elegance. So, let's make sure you pick the perfect one for your home.

Size: How long and how many hooks?

First things first, size matters. You don’t want a coat rack that’s too big for your space, or one that’s so small it can only hold a single scarf. Measure your area like a pro! Work out the minimum and maximum length you're happy with as well as how many hooks you would like. Remember to space out your hooks. COats and hats can take up plenty of space.

Weight: How heavy will the coat rack be and how heavy will your items be?

Our coat racks are made from robust recycled timber, which means they’re sturdy and reliable. But before you go all gung-ho with your drill, check your wall can handle it. Whether it’s plaster or brick, make sure it’s up to the task. And if you're not sure, don’t be a hero, get some professional help. We promise we won’t judge.

What are you going to hang on your coat rack?

Got heavy winter coats? Or is the coat rack just for keys, scarves and hats? Be sure to check all the details when purchasing your coat rack such as are the hooks strong and can they bear much weight?

Installation: Channel Your Inner Handyman

Speaking of heroes, installing your coat rack is where you can shine. Or, you know, call in someone who knows what they’re doing. Our coat racks come with all the necessary bits and bobs to get you started. Just remember: right tools, right anchors, and a little patience. Your wall will thank you.

Colour and Timber: Match Made in Heaven

Here’s where things get exciting. Our recycled timber coat racks are available in various finishes, from natural earthy tones to sleek oiled or painted styles. The key to nailing this is to look around your home. Got a rustic, country vibe? Go for natural timber to complement that warm, cosy feel. More into modern, minimalist chic? A painted finish might be your best bet.

Each piece of timber has its own story, make sure it’s one that fits into your home’s narrative but suitable to any room - bedroom, hallway, garage or laundry.

Hooks: Style Meets Function

Let’s talk hooks. They’re not just for hanging stuff; they’re part of the design. Consider what you’ll be hanging—heavy coats, delicate scarves, keys, or your impressive hat collection. We’ve got hooks in 8 different options, so pick something that not only works but looks good too.

A final thought....

Choosing the perfect coat rack doesn’t have to be a chore. With a bit of planning and a touch of style, you can find a piece that’s not only functional but also a fantastic addition to organise and sort your home in a stylish manner. At Mulbury, we’re all about combining sustainability and quality with style, and our coat racks are no exception.
