♦Use screw-in hooks
because they maintain better than the plastic
adhesive ones.
♦Place hooks on the back of bedroom and home office doors.
♦Make sure you space the coat hooks
at different heights and widths. That way adults and children of different
heights can utilize them. Plus you can better accommodate a wider variety of
coat lengths and purse straps or book bag straps. This will enable you to use
the space on the back of the door to its fullest.
♦You also can purchase a mountable decorative coat rack from
places like
Home Decorators Collection
. Decorative coat racks come with multiple chrome or brass hooks on wood frames
for attaching to the wall or back of a door.
You can quickly fling any coat, robe, raincoat, umbrella or
items with straps such as book bags or canvas bags, lunch boxes, purses and more onto
decorative coat hooks.
♦Don't want to mar your doors with holes from screwing in these
wall hooks? Use over-the-door closet rods, which contain multiple hooks.
♦Sometimes
these also are called over-the-door racks or over-the-door hangers. You'll often
find these at
walk-in retailers too in the closet
organizer, bathroom or hardware section. Here are two over-the-door hook racks from
online retailer Organize.com:
Classic Over The Door Hook Rack
Buzzo Overdoor Hook Rack
♦Note that sometimes over the door hook racks will leave scuff
marks on your doors at the top where they hang over the door. But they won't
leave holes in your doors like a screw-in coat rack or screw-in coat hook will.
So there is pros and cons for either preference.
♦However, if you prefer no holes or scuff marks on your doors or walls, then you probably
want a freestanding coat rack. Some freestanding coat racks, also called coat
trees, come with umbrella stands too. These are great if you have a
foyer or hall space near the inside of your front door. You'll find a wide variety of coat racks
online and at walk-in retailers.
