The coat hook is useful for hanging clothes on the wall. It thus serves as an alternative to the coat rack. Installed at the entrance, in the bathroom, or in other rooms of the house, this accessory is available in various models to be mounted on the wall, adhesive, suction, or to be hung.
Coat hooks are distinguished by their mode of attachment:
- mounted models are screwed into the wall or a door and are appreciated for their sturdiness;
- adhesive models attach without drilling to a smooth surface, but cannot be moved;
- suction models attach to smooth surfaces like glass or tiles and can be moved as needed;
- hanging models hook over the top of a door, but do not prevent it from opening or closing.
The available accessories are distinguished by their material of manufacture:
- plastic is appreciated for its resistance to moisture and its affordable price;
- stainless steel is attractive for its elegance and sturdiness;
- aluminium is favored for its modernity, lightness, and rust resistance;
- bamboo adds an exotic touch to the decor;
- wood is a noble material.
Various criteria are to be considered in the choice of coat hooks:
- the ability to mount them to the wall;
- the number of hooks which depends on the number of users and the placement of the accessory in the house;
- the style which should be in harmony with the decor of the room.
Thus, installing a coat hook optimizes home storage by avoiding leaving clothes on the bed or sofa. This accessory can be used temporarily while waiting for the installation of a permanent solution like a coat rack furniture or a towel rack shelf.
