The corridor is an important part of any apartment or house. This is the place through which guests pass, and the coat rack is one of the main components of the hallway. Just like without a sofa, it is difficult to imagine a living room; there is no corridor without a hanger. It's like a butler greeting guests. It can bring some kind of magic into the atmosphere or, conversely, ruin everything.
Modern options for hallway hangers come in several types.
It is difficult to describe how huge the variety of hangers is today. There is no end or edge to this, which is good news. But if you don’t understand them, then a rich assortment will not work to your advantage, but will only ruin everything, and the client can simply leave without buying anything, or he will buy any product he comes across, tired of choosing and beating around the bush.
A hanger is very often used when it is impossible to place a closet for storing clothes and shoes in the hallway.
For these reasons, it’s worth figuring out in advance what they are, and which one will suit your hallway.
Why do you need a hanger?
First of all, a hanger is a must because of the functions it performs. With the right choice, it can become the “highlight” of your hallway and make a pleasant impression on your guests.
All of them are designed for one purpose - to create order in the hallway and keep your outerwear on.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION! You shouldn’t overestimate your hallway and buy the first hanger you like, because it may turn out to be too bulky for such a room. If space does not allow, then do not forget about practicality and space saving.
You can only place a floor hanger in a spacious hallway, because it takes up a lot of space.
DIY floor wooden hanger
Wooden things have always been of high quality and durable, as well as useful in everyday life. This also applies to hangers, so we will now try to build a wooden floor hanger with our own hands. This work will not take us much time. You will need approximately 20 free minutes, as well as all the necessary materials.
To create a wooden floor hanger we will need:
- Six tribes (copper).
- Four tees (copper).
- Four plugs (must be the same inlet diameter).
- A wooden round stick of the same diameter. The total length should be 5.3 meters, cut into parts: 2 pieces of 125 cm, two more of 70 cm, 4 pieces of 20 cm, and the last 6 of 10 centimeters each.
The process is very simple. Following the drawing plan, we must assemble all the structural elements. To make the task easier, they are marked with letters in the figure.
- "A" - 125cm.
- "B" - 70cm.
- "C" - 20cm.
- "D" - 10 cm.
To further secure our floor hanger, use wood glue. Copper inserts will look interesting; on the one hand, they will attract attention, and on the other, they will be quite durable in use.

Where to start looking for the “ideal” hanger for the hallway?
There are several factors that you should rely on first.
- Size of the room (it should complement, but not overwhelm the room).
- Room design. If the hallway is designed in a minimalist style, and you like a bright hanger with remarkable patterns, you should think about this option several times before making a decision.
- Having children. This factor is relevant when choosing any furniture. If the hanger is of original shape with sharp corners and can fall at the slightest push, you should abandon this idea. After all, children are very curious and want to touch everything in the house.
Choosing a wooden hanger will require the designer to have a good sense of style and experience.
Main element
To make the original hanger, my husband used only the back and part of the seat of an old chair. His idea was that the rods of the back can become excellent hanger bars, on which it is convenient to place scarves, scarves, and belts. To get the required part, my husband drew out the required area of the seat.
Following the line drawn on the ruler with a marker, the husband sawed off part of the seat with the backrest attached to it.

We got two such details.
Materials
If we talk about the materials from which hangers are made, then there is plenty to choose from - from artificial to natural materials. The most popular are wood, laminated chipboard and metal. And this is not surprising, because they are distinguished by their practicality and versatility. They can fit perfectly into any interior and complement it perfectly. These materials are often mixed.
Metal hangers for storing clothes in the hallway can simply fit perfectly into almost any interior.
Wooden hangers are usually chosen for the hallway if other furniture is also made from natural materials. But this is rather a rule, with exceptions.
Wooden hangers will fit perfectly into the interior of your hallway.
NOTE! Don't forget about the humidity in the room when purchasing a wooden model.
If we compare wood with metal, then in the second case the choice will be somewhat larger. The most popular types are wall and floor. They are quite practical and fit well. Wall-mounted ones are more convenient in terms of space saving. Despite this, they are very roomy. And in addition to hooks, such hangers often have additional shelves.
They can be presented in any color and style.
As for other materials, hangers are also made from glass, tree branches, and animal horns. Forged hangers are popular. Plastic models are an economical option, but in addition they amaze with their colorfulness and variety. As for glass, this is also an excellent solution for the minimalist style.
A hanger can also be non-standard and incredibly interesting.
Simple wall hanger made of laminated chipboard
The task is to make a cheap clothes hanger on the wall (for a rented apartment). Two boards of laminated chipboard (chipboard) called “furniture board” were purchased at a hardware store. Two, because the price turned out to be low, and in the accessories department, where they were looking for hooks, they found some good brackets for very little money. We will use them for the second board - we will make a shelf for small items.
What is needed to make a simple hanger for the hallway
The tools you will need are a screwdriver or screwdriver, a drill, and a set of drills. Also, use a tape measure and a pencil to mark the places where hooks and brackets are attached.
After unpacking the boards, glue stains and some other incomprehensible stains were found on them. All this can be eliminated with a solvent. Take a soft white (not colored) rag and wipe everything well.
The tool is simple
Next, we arrange the purchased hooks in a checkerboard pattern. This is where you need a tape measure and a pencil - measure out equal distances and mark them.
Hooks laid out
Next, mark with a pencil the places for the screws. Remove the hooks and drill holes. Drill - 1-2 mm smaller in diameter than the diameter of the self-tapping screw. The hole is necessary so that the work goes easier, and also so that the surface does not crack when twisting. We put the hooks in place.
Now it's the turn of the shelf. I set aside equal distances on one side and the other, attached the brackets, and marked the holes for fasteners. Drilled holes and installed brackets. All.
The shelf is also ready
Now we attach it to the wall. The technique is the same, but with dowels: apply, mark the attachment points, drill. The drill is the size of the dowel. We insert the dowel plug into the hole, attach the hanger/shelf to the wall, and fasten it.
Everything took 2 hours
This DIY wall hanger was made in two hours (including the shelf).
Types of hangers
Hangers differ not only in the material from which they are made, but also in design, method of fastening, etc. If we talk exclusively about design, they come in the following types.
Vertical or wall. They are made of wood or chipboard and given different shapes (round, straight, curved). Mirrors can be attached to the sides. Sometimes they even add leather inserts for originality.
A hallway hanger is exactly the piece of furniture that will help you properly organize the space and put things in order.
Sellers offer a wide variety of products. There are even forged models. They look very original and stylish.
Their whimsical and original forms will certainly not leave without the enthusiastic attention of either their owners or guests.
IMPORTANT! It is worth noting that you will have to pay a lot for them.
The hanger does not have to be nailed to the wall. There are types of vertical hangers that don't even need to be installed. They are practical and very comfortable. But most value them precisely for their appearance. They look very aristocratic. They often have extra space for umbrellas.
The more successfully the design of the hanger is combined with the style of the hallway, the more comfortable, harmonious and modern it will look.
Such open hangers are often made specifically for corridors.
A regular crossbar with hangers on wheels is also very popular. This is a very practical and convenient option and will suit almost everyone.
Many designers believe that it is the hanger that becomes the basis around which the entire interior of the hallway is created.
A hanger can perform several functions - serve for storing shoes and be a soft pouf.
For many buyers, another important criterion is the presence of an ottoman or chair so that they can sit down and put on their shoes in peace.
Horizontal ones are much simpler and more compact. They are made from a variety of materials. The cost depends on this.
Despite the use of the same material, wooden hangers can be fundamentally different from each other in their construction and design.
In addition to hooks, there are only additional shelves for hats.
If you search, you can find interesting, designer horizontal hangers for the hallway.
Hanging cabinets are also popular. They perform both functions at once and are very convenient to use, because they have several drawers or shelves where you can not only hang clothes, but also put shoes and other accessories.
The main disadvantage of this hanger is that it takes up more space than a simple wall hanger.
The presence of a mirror in the hallway is mandatory, as are hangers. Combining them is a great idea. And the market today provides such an option.
Also, many models have wheels, which greatly facilitates their use.
IMPORTANT! Floor hangers require a lot of space and are not recommended for small spaces.
But there are several more categories of hangers based on the type of hook fastening.
- Fastening with screws (is the most popular and reliable option).
- Glued hooks. Not suitable for hallways due to heavy load. The fastening will be too weak, and if the hanger still holds out in spring and summer, then in winter breakage is inevitable.
- Attached using suction cups (the same as attaching with glue) and magnets - a reliable, but too complicated method. It requires installation of a metal surface in the hallway. Few people want to bother like that, so the first method is the most convenient and practical.
Many models of floor hangers are mini-hallways that are attached to the wall.
Fasteners
In order to hang a hanger for scarves, belts, and bags on the wall, my husband used interesting fastening systems. They are intended for installing paintings and consist of two elements that are securely fastened to each other. Moreover, one element is attached to the base - the wall, and the second is attached to the items that need to be hung on the wall. Such systems are reliable and aesthetically pleasing - they are not visible because of the object that is hung on the wall.
My husband used two pairs of unusual hooks. He secured them to the end cut of part of the chair seat. One suspension system was mounted at the top of the cut, and the second at the bottom.

Original hangers for the hallway
Recently, hangers with folding hooks have become increasingly popular. This is perhaps the most convenient and practical option. The material can be either metal or wood.
Metal, in addition to its strength and reliability, also fits perfectly into various interiors.
It is difficult to describe all the most unusual, beautiful, modern, designer hangers of recent years, because there are a huge number of them and creating categories from them is quite a difficult task.
Forged hangers look great. As a rule, they are painted matte black.
In short, designers love to make hangers in distinctive shapes and colors (maze, thorn, graphic, snowflake, water pipes, chairs, hands, owls, etc.)
If the corridor is designed in a modern style, finding a suitable hanger will not be difficult.
Additional functionality
Initially, my husband planned to make only an original hanger with crossbars from the back of the chair. But while working, he came up with the idea of adding special hooks to it so that bags, packages, and backpacks could be placed there. The wide upper part of the back of the chair seemed to be asking for such additions.

Rack made of copper pipes for trempels
Copper products always have a decent appearance. Therefore, a mobile hanger made of copper pipes on a wooden stand will not only solve the problem of placing clothes, but will become an elegant and convenient part of your apartment. This design can be placed in the dressing room, and if necessary, it can be easily moved to your hall or hallway before the arrival of guests.
This project demonstrates how to make a simpler version of a copper hanger with your own hands without a shelf and wheels. You can improve this simple design yourself using a board, additional fasteners, screws and 4 furniture swivel wheels.
Preparatory stage
Prepare materials for the hanger and tools that will help with the work:
- 2 copper pipes 300 cm long, 2.5-3 cm in diameter.
- 4 rotating (90 degrees) parts of the same diameter.
- 2 T-shaped parts with a hole diameter of 2.5-3 cm.
- 2 copper plugs of suitable size.
- Epoxy adhesive.
- Tape measure, pencil.
Before making a hanger-rack from the prepared material, it is necessary to cut parts of the required size from a copper pipe:
- 2 parts for vertical racks 150 cm long. This height of arrangement of things is the most universal. It is not too high, it is convenient to use and at the same time it is large enough to hang a long raincoat or dress.
- 2 pieces 100 cm long. The first will become the crossbar on which you will directly hang things, and the second will be part of the support frame.
- 4 pieces of 25 cm each to construct a horizontal hanger support.
If you cannot cut the copper pipe yourself, take care of this in advance. You can order pipe cutting at the place of purchase or in a specialized workshop.
Prepare a work area for assembling parts. It should be as smooth and clean as possible.
