Entryway Styling: Unique Coat Rack Ideas

Figuring out how to make a small entryway both useful and beautiful can feel like a challenge, but it’s definitely doable with the right ideas. Come with me as we discover some creative coat storage solutions that will turn your tiny entryway into a welcoming and organized space.

Making Use of Walls with Mounted Fixtures

Make the most of your walls with cool mounted fixtures.

Using fixtures on the wall is a total game changer when you’re short on space in the entryway. Going upwards frees up the floor while still making sure your coats and things are easy to grab. I’ve used shiny hooks on a deep wood background in my place in Denver to make things useful and cozy.

Try these:

Elegant Shiny Wall Fixtures: Take your entryway to the next level with elegant shiny fixtures that look good and keep things in order.
Attractive Wood Wall Organizer: Get the best of both worlds with this attractive wood background that blends storage and style.
Old-Fashioned Fixture Collection: Bring in a classic feel with an old-fashioned fixture collection, which is great for making the most of wall space in your entryway.

Fixtures That Go Over the Door

Use over-the-door fixtures for a simple storage solution.

When there’s basically no floor space to work with, fixtures that hang over the door are your best bet. They’re an easy way to hang coats and bags without needing to drill anything into the walls. This has been a lifesaver for me, especially when I have people over.

Wall Shelf with Several Layers

Keep things neat and decorate with a wall shelf that has several layers.

A wall shelf with several layers gives you different spots for different things, from keys to bags. It makes a layered look that adds depth to a small space. This has helped me keep everything in its place without losing style.

Small Bench with Storage Inside

Mix sitting and storage with a small bench in your entryway.

Having a bench that opens up for storage right under the coat fixtures is super handy. It’s a spot to sit down and stash smaller things. I’m all about how comfy it makes an entryway feel while still keeping everything neat.

Wall Hanger That Stretches Out

Hangers that stretch are useful and look good, changing to fit what you need.

A wall hanger that stretches out is a great choice because it can get bigger or smaller depending on what you need. It’s perfect for when you have more or fewer coats to hang, and its retro look adds something cool to the space.

Coat Hanger Behind a Door That Slides

Hide coats with a door that slides for an entryway that looks tidy.
