They greet you by their clothes! Choosing an original wall hanger for the hallway

Types of floor hangers and their location

Floor hangers can be divided into several categories according to their design characteristics:

• for outerwear;

  

  These standing hangers are most often seen near doors.

• racks for hanging hangers;
• suit, for shirts, trousers;
• hanging chairs.

Some types of floor hangers are placed in certain rooms. For example, hangers for outerwear are placed in the hallway near the door. This is convenient: you can immediately get rid of clothes. A floor hanger with hangers is more versatile. Such products can be placed in the hallway, in the dressing room, even in the nursery or bedroom. They accommodate a large amount of clothing and can replace a wardrobe.

Hanging racks are good in bedrooms and dressing rooms or in those rooms that replace them

Standing hangers for suits, shirts and trousers are most often “registered” in bedrooms or children’s rooms (if the child is a schoolchild). This is where we usually dress before leaving the house. Hanging chairs are also placed there. This is, in fact, one of the options for costume hangers. The legs and supports simply took the shape of the seat.

Hanger rack

There may be stand-up hangers that are very interesting in decorative terms. The materials, shapes, and sizes of such hangers are very diverse. The clothes rack can be used as a main or additional one.

What materials are they made from?

A floor hanger is most often made of metal or wood. Both of these materials are strong, ductile, durable and relatively inexpensive. Some parts - plugs, parts of hooks - can be made of plastic.

Most often you can see floor hangers made of metal and wood

Plastic inserts are more often found on lower cost metal hangers. If the elements of the supporting structure are not made of plastic, this is not bad and you can buy such floor hangers without hesitation. If the elements of the supporting structure are made of plastic, it is better to look for another model.

Metal hangers

The largest selection of metal floor hangers. They are usually made from thin-walled round or square pipes. The metal used most often is black, coated with a protective coating. This can be paint (most often powder coating), nickel plating, chrome plating. In recent years, a new protective coating has appeared - plastic film (PVA). This is also a good option, since the film is impermeable to moisture and air. Such products are easy to care for, since the surface is smooth and without pores.

Several models of metal floor hangers

If the floor hanger will be used to place heavy winter clothes, when choosing, pay attention to the thickness of the metal. The minimum in this case is 1 mm. If the thickness of the pipe wall is not indicated in the product description, most likely the wall is very thin and suitable for light clothing. Indirect signs that will confirm your guesses are the weight of the product and the price.

Wooden

Wooden hangers can be carved from solid wood, or they can be prefabricated. The first option is much more expensive. Prefabricated ones are 2-3 times cheaper, but do not differ too much in appearance. The presence of joints in products of normal quality is hardly noticeable, so if you have a limited budget, it is quite possible to purchase economy class products.

There are different types of wooden floor hangers

Wooden floor hangers are well sanded and covered with a protective coating. Usually varnish or oil is used. The varnish creates a protective film on the surface, making it easy to care for such products. Wood oils do not create a protective film, but they protect no worse. When treated with oil, the structure of the wood is clearly visible - all the fibers, the pattern.

Material of manufacture

The choice of material for any item will always determine its strength and service life. Hangers are no exception. Today, manufacturers offer models made from the following materials:

• Metal – the most durable option with many design options and a wide range of colors. Metal hangers, depending on their appearance, can complement and harmoniously highlight any interior. Forged hangers in hallways look especially luxurious and expensive.

  
  Of course, such an element must be consistent with the style of the room. Metal models have an impressive weight, which is why they require reliable fastening. Floor-standing models are particularly durable and elegant. Steel structures can withstand even heavy winter clothing without the risk of deformation. Lighter aluminum hangers are used for demi-season clothing and storing small items. The most popular are chrome, black, white or dark brown metal hangers. However, the powder coating method allows you to choose any color. This coating will reliably protect the surface from corrosion.

  

• Tree It has always been and remains a popular material for the manufacture of many pieces of furniture. Its strength, durability and natural beauty are still highly valued by consumers. Thanks to the pliability of this material, it is possible to decorate the surface of a wooden hanger with artistic carvings. The tree is absolutely safe even for the smallest family members. Very important, so that the surface of the product has a layer of protective coating in the form of varnish and is polished. Roughly processed wood will have burrs that can ruin clothing or delicate scarves. The most suitable wood species are beech, pine, oak, and birch. You should not hang wet clothes or umbrellas on wooden hangers in the hallway if there is no water-repellent impregnation. Wood can quickly absorb moisture, which will lead to deformation and subsequent cracking after drying.

  

• Rattan - a modern material that is gaining increasing popularity. It is a type of wood, but is lighter in weight. At the same time, strength indicators remain at a high level. There is also artificial rattan, which looks very attractive. Rattan hangers will look unusual and original and will ideally complement the interior of a hallway in an oriental style.

  

• Plastic is a leader in the variety of shapes and colors. Often, it is from this material that many designers create their masterpieces. Essential disadvantage plastic hangers is their low strength. This option is suitable for children's or light spring clothing, scarves, hats, umbrellas and handbags.

  

• Chipboard or MDF – the most common materials for the manufacture of cabinet and other furniture at an affordable price. They are much cheaper than natural wooden models. Do not forget that chipboards contain resins, which can emit harmful substances. Take products where formaldehyde emissions are at the E0 or E1 level. It is better to give preference to models made of MDF, which are safer, but also more expensive. In addition, MDF is moisture resistant and very durable. The best option there will be placement of metal hooks on the canvas. An MDF hanger is not too heavy, but can withstand any load.

  

• Combined models are, for example, a wooden base combined with glass shelves and metal hooks. Or a combination of metal and plastic. Sometimes others use natural materials – driftwood of bizarre shapes, which are impregnated with special solutions that prevent rotting and protect from moisture. Such elements can be attached to the wall using leather straps or metal rings. These compositions look very impressive.

  

Standing clothes hangers in the hallway

Floor hangers for outerwear in the hallway most often consist of a rod on which hooks for clothes of different lengths and shapes are mounted in a circular pattern at different heights. For stability, the structure is equipped with a round (rarely square) weighted base. They can be made of wood or metal.

The height of the floor stand is 150 cm and above, and the base is a circle with a diameter of 35-45 cm. In order for the hanger to be stable, you need to pay attention to the fact that the lower part is weighted. And all the same, such designs require careful attention: clothes must be hung evenly. Otherwise the hanger may fall.

Floor-standing clothes hanger in the hallway: the most popular models

There are floor hangers for outerwear of this type, but made differently. Several pipes or metal strips are bent with a certain radius. In this case, the upper part is smaller than the lower part. This design is more stable, but requires more space, which is not always possible in a small hallway.

Types of hangers depending on location

Before purchasing this necessary item, you should decide where exactly you want to place it, and to what extent functional it should be. The first parameter directly depends on the size of the room. If you are lucky enough to have a spacious hallway, then there are no restrictions for you. You can choose any model you like. For small and narrow hallways

it is preferable to choose more compact placement methods so that the hanger does not take up much space and does not interfere with free movement along the corridor.

The presence or absence of a wardrobe in the hallway plays an important role. It, like a hanger, has the function of storing things. However, in its absence, the load on the hanger will increase. In this case, the over-the-door structure may simply not accommodate the required volumes, and the ceiling model may not even be able to withstand the excess weight. A correct assessment of the future load of this piece of furniture will be the determining factor that will help you choose the optimal type. Fortunately, modern manufacturers offer so many different versions of this common item that difficulties should not arise.

Wall hangers for clothes in the hallway

These are one of the most popular hangers today. They are individual hooks that can be arranged in any way - diagonally, staggered or linear. Or a panel with hooks, which in turn is attached to the wall. This hanger is very compact, allows you to fit a sufficient amount of outerwear, does not take up space on the floor and is inexpensive. This is one of the most successful options for modest-sized hallways. Some models can be additionally equipped with:

• Mirror;
• Hanging rods, which makes storing clothes more delicate and careful;
• Shelves for storing hats or small items;
• A place to store umbrellas;
• Shoe cabinet;
• A bench with a shoe cabinet underneath.

The last two options can be either solid (in the form of a dressing table) or unrelated elements. In any case, they will be larger and require much more space for placement. In addition, models with floor stands cannot always fit a full-length coat or fur coat.

A little advice: it is better to give preference to hangers in the form of panels, on which hooks are attached and which have a back wall. This will protect the wall covering on which it will be attached from dirt, premature erasing (in the case of wallpaper) and getting wet from wet clothes.

Floor hanger in the hallway

Its design is a rack with hooks at different heights or a rack with vertical or horizontal crossbars. The variety of design options for floor-standing models is amazing. From the simplest ones, which are often found in small coffee shops, to real works of art that become the highlight of the entire room. The advantage in this case is:

• No installation and mobility. It is enough to assemble the floor hanger, if it is not solid, place it in the desired place and use it. If necessary, it can be easily rearranged. In some cases, special wheels are even provided for this;
• This design allows you to hang long items at their full length and maintain their neat appearance;
• The upper part of the hanger is used to place hats, which does not require additional shelves and preserves the aesthetic appearance of the model.

The disadvantages include:

• Bulky. Since things are arranged in a circle, the hanger should be at a sufficient distance from the walls to ensure ease of use. In this case, it will occupy a decent area, which is a completely unsuitable option for small hallways;
• Instability. If the load is uneven, there is a risk of tipping over;
• Difficult access to things. In many models, the hooks are arranged in a double row - a small hook on top and a slightly larger one below it. To remove something that is on the bottom tier, you will have to remove the top one as well. And if the hanger is fully loaded, then more than one. Therefore, this option is not very convenient if you always have a lot of guests in your house or if there are a lot of people living in your house.

Many floor racks are additionally equipped with a lower shelf for bags, hooks or baskets for umbrellas, or even a small cabinet for shoes. Another type of floor hanger is a model made in the form of a small pencil case with or without a mirror. In this case, it will be more convenient to use and stable, but it will not be able to be easily moved.

A little advice: if you decide to purchase a structure with horizontal crossbars, be sure to place hangers with hangers on them. This technique will not only help you fit more things, but will also keep their style from being pulled out. Before purchasing, pay attention to the number of support legs. Models with more of them will always be more stable than one-legged structures. To see this for yourself, be sure to shake the hanger in the store.

Ceiling hanger

This model is used quite rarely due to the complexity of installation. In addition, if you already have suspended or suspended ceilings installed, then installing it can be quite difficult or completely unrealistic. The exception would be when this was foreseen in advance. Often, a ceiling hanger is a single horizontal strip, or several parallel strips, which are attached to the ceiling slab with reliable screws. Despite all the “buts,” it still has several advantages:

• It occupies a very modest area, which will undoubtedly be appreciated by the owners of small corridors;
• Things are hung on it on “hangers”, which makes their storage more compact and careful;
• It looks very unusual, helping to emphasize the individuality of the interior.

The disadvantages, unfortunately, are more significant:

• Very difficult installation;
• Ability to withstand only light loads. This is not a suitable option for a large family;
• There is no space for shoes.

  

Hanger on the door in the hallway

The over-the-door hanger resembles a wall hanger. It also consists of a set of individual hooks, or hooks, located on slats. However, it can be mounted on the entrance or interior door or even on the side wall of a wardrobe. Advantages of such a hanger:

• There is no need to drill walls, which makes installation very easy;
• Compactness, allowing you to save every precious centimeter of usable space in a small hallway;
• Can accommodate a decent amount of full-length items.

Disadvantages include :

• When the hanger is completely full, opening/closing the doors is not always convenient;
• If your hanger is mounted on an MDF interior door, then the load on it should be minimal. Otherwise, there is a risk not only of cracks forming at the point of attachment to the door leaf, but also of the door sagging;
• Using hangers becomes almost impossible if you have a large family or often receive guests. Things will hang one on the other, which makes access to them difficult and contributes to the formation of bruises;
• Doors or a closet wall loaded with things bring some chaos into the interior and make it sloppy. This can ruin the harmonious appearance of even the most expensive renovation.

After analyzing all the pros and cons, we can conclude that this model is suitable for one or two people when space is very limited. In this case, it is better to fix it on the front door. If the door is double, then you can leave one of them open, thereby hiding things. This way you won't spoil the ambience.

Built-in hanger

This hanger will be an excellent option for filling an empty niche in the hallway. Depending on the depth of the niche, it may look like:

• Single horizontal pipe with or without lifting mechanism;
• Look like a small pencil case with a back wall that will exactly fit in size;

Such models are made to order. Their beauty is that they make the most of space, while maintaining the geometry of the room and preserving free space. And in some cases, with the help of such structures you can even correct an incorrect or overly elongated hallway shape. They can be equipped with shelves for bags and shoes, pull-out compartments for storing trousers and other convenient elements. A simpler model in the form of a horizontal pipe can be hidden behind a decorative screen or a beautiful curtain. Increasingly, users prefer built-in hangers with sliding doors. This will not only hide everything unnecessary, but will also help decorate the interior. Sometimes built-in hangers can be part of a wardrobe, which can significantly save space.

Mobile hanger

This option is very convenient as a temporary hanger. Its design is very simple and has the ability to quickly assemble/disassemble and move freely. This may be necessary:

• During bad weather. Many people have long ago abandoned the need to use different types of hangers and are accustomed to immediately hanging things in the closet. In many cases, this is due to a reluctance to spoil the interior of the room or simply to the lack of space for it. But you must admit that wet clothes must at least be dried before placing them in the closet. It is in this case that it is convenient to take out a modest-sized mobile hanger from the pantry and use it. And then just put it back.
• During the reception of guests. The same situation occurs when you only use a closet and the space in it is limited, but you need to hang the clothes of numerous guests somewhere.

Such models are inexpensive, however, their benefits are undeniable. You just need to stock up on enough hangers.

Racks for clothes hangers

A hanger rack for clothes on hangers is a convenient thing if there is not enough space in the closets. They consist of a rectangular base, one or two cross-bar pipes, on which hangers with clothes are hung.

A floor hanger for clothes on hangers is also called a stand-up hanger

Rack hangers are made of metal and wood. There are metal ones made from pipes, and there are forged ones. Some models of metal clothing racks have adjustable heights. For long clothes, their stand can be raised higher. The maximum height is 150 cm. For short clothes, you can place it at a height of 80-90 cm. This is the minimum height, and there are also intermediate positions.

Several types of clothing racks on trempels

In some cases, a floor hanger on wheels is useful. It is easy to move from place to place without removing the hanging clothes. There are children's models of floor hangers of this type. They differ only in height and more “cheerful” colors. Children's floor hangers can also be made of plastic. Children's clothing does not weigh that much, so the strength of plastic is more than enough. And in terms of price, plastic floor hangers are the most inexpensive.

Folding models - a solution for entertaining guests

For those who receive large numbers of guests, it can be problematic to place their outerwear. For such cases, there is a folding rack for hangers for outerwear. When folded, it takes up very little space and can be stored in the pantry.

Design and shape of the hanger

Once you have decided exactly where the hanger will be located, it’s time to decide on two more very important parameters. The design of this piece of furniture comes in two types:

• One-piece
• Collapsible

In the first case, you get a monolithic structure that cannot be disassembled and hidden when not needed. But such models are more reliable and stable.

In the second case, you get a model consisting of several basic elements. Such hangers are more compact and mobile, saving space. At any time they can be easily dismantled and moved to another location. However, they are less reliable and can withstand less load. Weak points are the places where elements are connected to each other, which can become loose or collapse if not used properly. When giving preference to collapsible structures, be sure to ensure that they come with assembly instructions.

also plays an important role . Not only capacity, but also visual appeal and ergonomics depend on it. Considering the size of your hallway and the space allocated for placing the hanger, choose the most harmonious model:

• Linear horizontal or vertical. The most common form. The number of things it can fit is directly proportional to its length or height. Horizontal hangers are usually wall, over-door or ceiling hangers. Floor models or models made in the form of pencil cases with several levels of hooks have a vertical way of arranging things. On the lower tiers it is convenient to place children's clothing, which is not very long.
• Corner hanger will become indispensable in cramped conditions. It is absolutely in no way inferior in capacity to linear models, but it helps to rationally use space or fill an empty corner. Such models are often equipped with shelves for shoes and hats.

  

• Non-standard solutions It is appropriate to use when the issue of storing things is not as pressing as the issue of giving the room a characteristic shade. Such models can have the most varied and intricate forms: repeat the appearance of real tree branches, branched deer antlers, be multi-level and resemble sea waves. Designers have succeeded in this matter. These hangers are usually used to store keys, umbrellas or small handbags. They serve as interior decoration, while at the same time giving it a more homely feel. It cannot be said that absolutely all hangers of non-standard shapes are not spacious and cannot withstand heavy loads. Therefore, you should not immediately abandon such models.

  

In addition to the variety of shapes and designs, you have to decide whether your hanger will have an open, closed or combined type:

• Open models are very popular, fit harmoniously into many interiors and look less bulky.
• Closed structures equipped with doors look more strict . But they prevent dust from settling on your things. In addition, they are neater and make the hallway more neat and harmonious.
• Combined designs can have an open row with hooks or hangers for outerwear and side or floor cabinets with doors for storing shoes and other items.

It is not always possible to find the desired hanger option among those offered by manufacturers. In this case, you can seek help from specialists who will make a model according to your sketch. Its cost may be slightly higher, but it will fit perfectly into the interior and will meet all your requirements.

Floor hanger for suit

The problem of storing a business suit is easily solved by purchasing a special floor hanger. It is somewhat similar to racks, only with special hangers for a jacket and a crossbar for trousers.

Floor hanger for suit storage

There are suit stands made of wood, metal and plastic. Plastic in this case is not bad: a large load is not expected, so the strength of modern plastics is more than enough.

If we talk about useful options, this is a shelf or a box. It is convenient to store business small items in it: glasses, cufflinks, wallet, car keys, etc.

Different models of standing suit hangers

Floor hangers for suits are usually placed in the bedroom, in the dressing room. It may be convenient to have such a device in your office. There are different models, you can choose them to suit any interior style. And some options look like designer jewelry themselves.

At what height should I hang it on the wall in the hallway?

You should not hang the product as you have to. Otherwise, a mistake may be made and people will find it inconvenient to use the hanger. Choose a height that is comfortable for children and adults. Placing it too low will cause long items like coats to “revenge” the floors.

Recommendation! This stage of product placement should not be ignored. The optimal height should be carefully calculated. Be sure to test the selected option before pinning.

The wall hanger in the hallway should be hung at a distance of about 150 cm from the floor. For children, you can place one more product for convenience, subject to space availability. The baby hanger is complemented by a fun design and bright colors.

Hangers for the hallway are made in various types. You need to study the issue in more detail to choose the best option for your own corridor. Consider the features of the room, including the area. This will allow you not to create obstacles for passage or crowd a small room.

Vertical

A body of this design is made of wood or chipboard. The length ranges from 30 cm to several meters. The product is distinguished by a variety of shapes. You can choose standard straight, curved or round, depending on your preference. A hanger with a mirror in the hallway allows you to solve several problems. It is multifunctional, practical and visually attractive. The mirror is located on the right or left side. Some models are upholstered in genuine leather or its substitute. A similar detail is suitable for a classic interior. Metal products are less common, usually forged hangers for the hallway. The cost of this model is high, but the owner receives a unique option that exactly matches the design and size of the corridor. They produce products with a shelf for hats. This allows you to organize a convenient additional storage system.

The vertical strip allows you to visually increase the height of the ceiling and protect the wall covering from dirt and moisture. The number of hooks varies depending on the expected load of the hanger. They are placed in a straight line or at different levels.

Horizontal

This option is compact and allows you to visually make the wall wider. Suitable for installation in a corner or small area. An excellent solution if the hallway is tiny and every centimeter counts. The basis is a rectangular board, but more complex shapes can be used. The materials used are chipboard, metal, and wood. The latter will fit well into a classic-style corridor. A metal hanger should be installed in a modern hallway.

With additions

Various variations of hangers with auxiliary elements for storing things or decoration have already been noted. Popular to win with a shelf placed at the top. Suitable for storing hats, gloves and scarves. Some products are complemented by a mirror, which allows them to be as comfortable as possible. It turns out to be a 3 in 1 option, which significantly saves space. Some hangers are complemented by a soft ottoman. You don't have to look for a place to place it separately. It is already built-in and it is convenient to sit on it while a person is putting on his shoes. You can choose any design option, depending on your design preferences and wallet.

Hanger-chair and hanger-bedside table

There are quite unusual models of hangers. They are combined with pieces of furniture. For example, there is a hanger-chair. The models are different: with a hanger for a suit, just a hanger bar or with a rack for outerwear. For small apartments this is a very good option. It takes up the same amount of space as a regular chair or banquette, and also serves to store clothes.

Floor hanger with chair and bedside table - for full use of the hallway space

Another option: a bedside table with a hanger. The bottom half of this floor rack is much heavier than the top half, so it won't tip over if you hang a couple of coats. The second advantage of such furniture is the optimal use of space. The problem with all floor hangers is that the bottom 50-60 cm remain unused. This is not the case with the bedside table hanger. This is another good way to rationally use space for small hallways.
