I have always loved the idea of owning one of those beautiful ‘old fashioned’ style coat stands, like the ones featured below by 'Better Farm' and 'This Old House' and was so excited when I found sites that detailed how to make one. As soon as I actually get a hall, I will definitely be making one!
I have also found some other amazing alternatives that would do the job-in-hand beautifully. There are a range of options below, which, hopefully, suit your hallway and the permitted space.
Roaring Rack
By using toy animals that you may have loitering around your rooms, you could create a coat rack that would be a fun addition to any room and in particular a child’s bedroom. Apartment Therapy offer the 'Amazing Animal Coat Rack', a DIY version of one that is available to buy elsewhere.
Rolling Rack
Reusing steel pipes and fittings, you can create an elegant rack that can also store your shoes and bags. Grace Bonney created 'Kate's Rolling Coat Rack' on Design Sponge.
Rustic Rack
This simple yet pretty coat rack would look fabulous in any house but particularly in a country house. Created by Esprit Cabane, the 'Rustic Peg Coat Rack' is a must see.
Handsome Rack
As described by Better Farm, their 'handsome DIY Coat Rack' would look wonderful in any hallway.
Ruler Rack
Recycling old yardsticks, this 'DIY Yardstick Coat Rack' by Save it For a Rainy Day is a great first DIY project for her blog.
Razzle Dazzle Rack
Remodelling Guy shows how to make this 'beautiful coat hanger shelf', which featured in Ralph Lauren’s paint brochure. A useful rack as not only can it hold your coats and bags, you can also display pictures, photos or any other memorabilia on the shelf.
Corker Coat Rack
Jennifer Stimpson for 'This Old House Magazine' showcases this stylish 'coat rack', which would be a fabulous feature in your hallway.
The Unusual
For anyone with a passion for building 'stuff', the 'DIY Hardware' coat rack by The Family Handyman is the perfect compliment. It certainly would gain admiration for its quirky style!
A really quick, stylish and cheap option is featured in Apartment Therapy’s ‘7 Tips to Liven up the Entryway’. This assortment of coat hooks on your wall would liven up any wall.
Of the many DIY options, the above, would definitely brighten up any hallway and suit all shapes and sizes. Which one will you try?
