How to choose wall-mounted wooden hangers in the hallway?

By paraphrasing a well-known phrase without losing its meaning, we can safely say that a dwelling begins with a hanger. In the hallway, where guests enter immediately after the street, it is appropriate to place this accessory for the convenience of storing clothes. In principle, any simple hook, or even a nail driven into the wall, can cope with this task, however, who will be satisfied with this? In addition to the function of placing a wardrobe, we need to choose a stylish and functional product.

When deciding to use a wall hanger in the hallway, it is important to take into account some of the nuances so as not to be disappointed in your choice. The advantages of such options include:

• acceptable cost;
• compactness;
• unpretentiousness;
• wide model variety;
• clothes dry and ventilate quickly with their help.

The disadvantages are:

• the inability to move the installed hanger without subsequent cosmetic repairs;
• not all models are highly durable and can withstand increased loads;
• installation of fasteners is preferable on walls made of durable building materials.

Italian and German accessories are of exemplary quality and exclusive design. Domestic and Belarusian manufacturers are slightly inferior to them.

Hangers of various designs are made from the following materials:

• wood,
• metal,
• plastic,
• combined options.

Wooden hangers are versatile: it is an environmentally friendly material that will not harm even allergy sufferers. A variety of wood shades will help you choose the option that best fits into the overall design. The texture of this material is suitable for use in any interior style: classic, baroque, rococo, palace, vintage, country, provence. In addition, such hangers are strong, can withstand significant loads and are durable. For production, beech, ash, pine, birch, alder and some other types of wood are used.

Wrought iron hangers are very popular: with the help of them it is easy to emphasize the special style and color of the corridor of any room. It is impossible to surpass metal in terms of durability, and if you did not find your taste among the variety of finished products, you can order an individual design in a professional forge. Steel, copper, aluminum, iron - these and some other materials can be used to create a wall structure.

For objectivity, we note that metal models can be quite heavy, which requires care when installing them and choosing reliable mounts.

Plastic has long been successfully used in all branches of production, including the furniture industry. Plastic hangers are inexpensive, have a huge variety of colors and species, are easy to maintain, and easy to lift. The obvious disadvantage of plastic models will be that they are not as durable and hardy as their natural competitors.

Convenient and functional hangers are in demand among consumers, in the production of which various materials were combined. They cannot be blamed for insufficient durability, they are not very demanding to maintain and are not too heavy.

Wall hangers can be horizontal or vertical.

• Horizontal models do not require a large installation space and are optimal for placement in corner areas. As a rule, they are rectangular or streamlined. For convenience, horizontal models are often complemented by a shelf for hats at the top. By arranging the hooks in several rows, you can place more clothes while using a small footprint of the wall area.

• Vertical hangers will take up more space, so carefully measure the permissible dimensions before choosing a final model. The wooden body can have a geometrically correct or, on the contrary, a fancy shape, complemented by metal hooks in one or several rows. Similar models, upholstered with leather or its substitutes, look original. More expensive forged vertical hangers will serve faithfully for many years, presenting an exquisite and stylish interior decoration.

The huge variety of models can be divided into several groups:

• hangers with hooks in one row;
• similar models in which the hooks are arranged in several rows;
• variations with an additional storage system;
• products equipped with a top shelf.

All the necessary things will fit here, and the space will not look cluttered. Convenient and ergonomic.

As a rule, hangers are placed in small rooms, so light colors that visually expand the space will come in handy. A white hanger is relevant for use both in light rooms and in dark interiors (for contrast). White is always in fashion. It can also reflect light from lighting fixtures, which is a nice bonus for small dark corridors in some apartments.

The highlight of the hallway can be a bright wall hanger. Exciting yellow, alluring crimson, rich turquoise colors will be able to create a mood. The use of flashy shades is shown in rooms with a trendy avant-garde interior or pop art ensemble. Dark or black hangers are versatile. As a rule, these are metal or forged products. Enthusiastic about choosing a dark color model, you can find an option to suit any style.

To use the hanger convenient for all family members (children or short adults), take a look at the models with the ability to adjust the hook level. Models of wall products supplemented with a mirror will not take up much space, but they will give you the opportunity to inspect yourself before leaving the house.

Taking into account the needs of modern inhabitants, hangers have ceased to serve only for placing things. Now they are the embodiment of the author's style in order to diversify the interior, giving it completeness and individuality.

The hanger model with hooks that fold back as needed looks simple, however, it surprises with its functionality.

For romantic natures or families with children, wall hangers with the image of animals are suitable. The curved ends of the metal "snowflake" can easily be used as a hanger. The teeth resembling a crown, with hooks placed on them, will become a discreet, but convenient and unusual addition to the hallway.

It is not always possible to find a thing that suits your heart and your pocket. In this case, you can make the hanger yourself.Having picked up a solid base, for example, a wooden plank upholstered with leatherette or painted with graffiti with your own child, you need to install hooks on it.

If store options did not inspire, connect your imagination, replace commonplace options with ordinary nails, wrenches bent and screwed to the bar or cutlery.

The horns of animals used as a hanger will not look old-fashioned if the room includes elements of country or eco style. It can be supplemented with an unusual accessory with an imitation of a candlestick as a sconce.

To install your unique coat hanger, you will need to drill at least three holes in the wall for a secure fit. Use a spirit level to align the holes. Install the dowels into the holes and attach the base to them using self-tapping screws.
