The entryway is the first thing guests see and the first place clutter piles up. The right coat rack keeps jackets, bags and scarves organized in seconds, and in solid brass it becomes a welcoming design detail.
Idea 1: A projecting coat rail
A wall mounted clothes rail sticks straight out from the wall, perfect for narrow halls where a long rail would block the way.
Idea 2: A full coat rail with hangers
For a mudroom, a wall mounted clothes rail with hangers keeps coats neat and dry and looks like a boutique.
Idea 3: Rail plus hooks
Combine a rail for coats with brass wall hooks for bags, keys and dog leads. Mount hooks 2" apart from the rail ends.
