Elegant wood panels
Such hangers are suitable for a more restrained interior, in which there is no room for bright accents, but original decor is required. Their smooth shape will visually “smooth out” the appearance of the hallway. And discreet hooks on the sides allow you to conveniently hang bags and small clothes.

Hanger in the hallway: basic selection rules
Before you go looking for the perfect hanger, we recommend that you study the basic selection rules. First of all, pay attention to the design parameters. In general, it is believed that the height should correspond to the height of family members. In this case, anyone can use it. As for the other parameters, they should be suitable for the size of the hallway. Also pay attention to the number of hooks. According to the rules, there must be at least three pieces per family member. This is the most optimal amount for everyday life.
Separately, it is worth noting the material used to make this design. The most durable, of course, is metal. It can look completely different, so you can easily choose the right option for each interior. But keep in mind that such hangers always have an impressive weight. Wooden products are no less relevant. They are durable, strong and safe for all family members. Plastic hangers come in many variations in color and shape. However, their popularity has recently been declining as families increasingly choose environmentally friendly materials.
The hanger can have any color scheme. There are no special restrictions here, but objects of a neutral shade look best in the interior.
Very often, little attention is paid to decorating a living room. But interior designers are increasingly reminding us of the importance of functional design. After all, in a small room everything should be done as comfortably as possible.
Hanger in the shape of a tree trunk
This hanger will perfectly complement a hallway decorated in eco-style. You can use an imitation, or you can build it from real wood - the latter option gives complete freedom in the design of the hanger. The main advantage: wide branches instead of hooks, on which you can hang not only clothes, but also an umbrella or hats.

Types of hangers
Stores offer a huge variety of different designs. Before purchasing a specific model, you need to evaluate its advantages and disadvantages, as well as its compliance with the overall style of the hallway.
Entourage in a typical hallway
If we talk about structures, there are not very many of them. In the traditional version, this is a bar on which hooks are attached. The slats can be positioned vertically or horizontally. Vertical options allow you to visually increase the height of the ceiling, which is why they are most often purchased for hallways. But horizontal ones are compact and can be located even in a small corridor.
Vertical
The body of the vertical wall hanger is made of either wood or chipboard. The length can be from 30-40 cm to 2 meters. The shape can be straight or curved, round.

A few more models

Color matters
There are hangers upholstered in leather or leatherette. They look great in classic interiors.
Leather upholstered
Rarely found, but there are vertical models made of metal. Usually this is forging. They are, of course, very decorative - handmade, but they also cost a decent amount. But you can order from the master the option that suits you. Both in design and size.
Artistic forging is very beautiful
If we talk about the functional part, and not just the external one, it wouldn’t hurt to have shelves in the upper part. They are convenient for storing hats. Also decide on the number of hooks. The more there are, the better, but if you really like a particular model and there aren’t enough hooks on it, you can install additional ones.
Before going to the store, carefully measure the available space, decide on the maximum and minimum width. It's also a good idea to have an idea of how tall you want the case.
Horizontal
Horizontal hangers in the corridor or hallway are more compact. Visually, they “stretch” the wall in width and can be installed in a small partition or corner.

Their basis is a board of rectangular or more complex shape. Furniture laminated chipboard is also used, there are metal and forged options. Some are closer to the classic style (usually wood), some are also suitable for hallways in modern styles.

Separate hanger
A mobile separate (carob) hanger is a very common option. And there are so many analogues of it: from elegant forged ones with special compartments for umbrellas to comical ones made from wooden rakes. Designers and artists love this version of hangers.
Interesting and inexpensive hangers are presented. The hallway hanger from this company is famous for its unexpected solutions. True, there is more urban design, Scandinavian style and Provence - something that is quite budget-friendly.

Floor hangers in the hallway in the high-tech style can be a voluminous pouf, in the center of which there is a place for hanging clothes. This option is convenient in a house where there are children, and allows space to accommodate such a structure.
Children generally love everything unusual, so a bright, fantastic hanger with a pouf (or bench), and yes, if it also features their favorite characters, will cause a storm of emotions.
A stand with shelves can also act as a balancer, giving stability to a separate hanger. - usually made to order. Such items are quite rare in the open market, as they are individual.
In all of these cases, the hanger is a design element. And far from the last. It’s not difficult to make it yourself if you have a very strong desire and gilding for your hands.
Paint drips
A hanger for creative people and creative spaces. It is made in the form of paint flowing down the wall, on the drops of which there are hooks for clothes, keys and other small items. Its bright color and unusual shape will help diversify the interior of your hallway.

Original ceiling hangers
It’s quite rare to see a ceiling hanger in a hallway. For the most part, it is not chosen due to installation difficulties, as well as in the presence of suspended or suspended ceilings. But even taking this into account, this design looks stylish, fresh and is a kind of decoration for the room.
A ceiling hanger is one or more strips that are attached to the ceiling as securely as possible. Thanks to this, it practically does not take up space and is an ideal solution for a small hallway. Hangers are used to place things. Due to this, clothes always retain an attractive appearance and do not clutter the room. But before choosing this option for yourself, pay attention to its disadvantages. A ceiling hanger involves a small number of items and is intended exclusively for outerwear. That is, you will have to equip a separate place to store shoes, bags, umbrellas and other small items.
Head with horns
Such a hanger will become a universal decor, because it is a kind of analogue to a hunting trophy on the wall, only artificial and more modern. Branched horns with hooks allow you to place a lot of outerwear. And when it's not there, the empty coat rack becomes a classic wall decoration.

Rules for choosing a design
Fastenings for outerwear in the corridor have many different designs.
In most cases, the best solution will be exactly two types of fixtures in the hallway - either a wall hanger or a floor hanger.
The differences lie not only in the level of fastening, but also in comfort, reliability and methods of operation.

Metro map
For an apartment in the heart of a metropolis, a characteristic hanger in the shape of subway lines would be suitable. Stripes decorated in bright colors will add brightness to the hallway interior and refresh it. Such a hanger can also play the role of an original independent decor when it is not occupied by clothes. And the compact design allows you to hang it even in a tiny hallway.

Let's start choosing
Before choosing a clothes hanger for the hallway, you need to decide on some points. The first is the material from which it will be made. Next, choose whether you want a neutral or pronounced style.
Based on the size of the room, calculate how much space you can “waste” for the interior. Floor hangers in the hallway look great if your room has enough space. And finally, do you want a regular standard furniture solution or an original, unusual addition to your design.
Curved Wood Plank
Even a classic hanger turns into an unusual decor if you modify it a little. An ordinary wall plate with hooks takes on an unusual look thanks to its curved edge. This design makes the hanger more functional and does not require additional space.

Comfortable hallway equipment
If you are renovating, then it makes sense to plan a fashionable hallway design. You need to make a furniture layout plan to get the most concise solution.
If you have a spacious room, then it makes sense to purchase:
- A special closet designed to store those things that you do not currently wear.
Wardrobe for things in the hallway
- A wall hanger in the hallway designed for storing everyday items.
Hallway wall hanger
- A shelf on which you can place the accessories you need (bag, hats, scarves, gloves).
Special shelf for accessories
- The mirror is complete with a small chest of drawers designed to store small things you need (keys, cosmetics, combs).
Functional chest of drawers with mirror for the hallway
- A cabinet that provides neat placement of shoes and slippers.
The footwear stand
- An ottoman that will allow you to put on your shoes in comfort.

This design looks stylish. The most important advantage of this equipment will be the complete restoration of order not only in the hallway, but throughout the entire apartment. All the necessary little things will always be at your fingertips.
Hanger-chair
In limited space, it is better to combine a hanger with other furniture to save space. For example, for a small hallway, an original chair with a very high back, on which there are hooks for clothes, is suitable. Make such a hanger bright and noticeable so that it becomes the central accent of the hallway.

Floor hangers
With their help you can decorate residential and public spaces. A distinctive feature is the complete mobility of the structure, because there is no fastening to the floor. Moving the hanger into free space is not difficult, especially if it has wheels.
Most often, products are found in the form of a rack with a circular arrangement of hooks over several tiers. At the bottom there are elements for fixing bags and umbrellas, in the middle zone there are hooks for jackets and raincoats, and the top is used for storing hats.
An alternative is a floor structure on several supports connected by crossbars or rods. It is less compact than a hanging rack, but can contain a couple of shelves at the base.
Floor hangers with shoe racks have become widespread in hallways. They solve 2 problems at once: storing clothes and shoes. Additionally, some models have an upper shelf, a mirror or soft upholstery of the shoe rack designed for the seat.
By design, there are open (without doors) and closed shoe racks. The latter reliably hide shoes from prying eyes.
Lasso hanger
And for a large hallway, you can choose a more voluminous hanger of an unusual type, for example in the form of a lasso rope, as in the photo below. The wide top rim allows you to place a large number of things on the hanger, and the thin base makes it elegant and stylish.

Corner hanger
A corner hanger usually looks more like a corner niche. Maximizing the use of space in the room, it can be supplemented with a shelf for hats and a shelf for shoes (things). This option is possible in all styles.
The only thing to remember is that luxury requires space. If the corner hanger is supposed to be in one of the expensive styles, then it should be voluminous.
What types of hooks are there?
In furniture stores you can find a wide range of different hooks, all of them differ according to the following criteria:
- size;
- number of horns;
- method of fastening to the wall;
- color;
- material;
- registration
Table No. 1. Varieties of hooks by number of horns
Variety, illustration | Description |
Single-horned | Typically, such products are intended for hanging large items. They are often used for various bags and heavy outerwear. These hooks should be installed in cases where you don’t have to place a large number of different things on one hanger. At the same time, they are able to withstand heavy loads. |
Double-horned | These are the most popular hanger hooks. In addition, they are durable and can accommodate several items at once. They are most often installed in corridors and bathrooms. |
Three-horn | Among other similar products, it is considered less popular and durable. Therefore, when installing such products, it is necessary to correctly distribute the load. Otherwise, such a hook will quickly break. |
An equally important criterion is the choice of material from which the hook is made. Therefore, such nuances should be studied before purchasing.
Table No. 2. Materials for making hooks
Material, illustration | Description |
Plastic | This is the cheapest option, which can even be secured with double-sided tape. However, it is not suitable for hanging heavy objects. Typically, such hooks are used for various small items. |
Metal | Metal products are the most reliable and versatile. They can withstand heavy loads. It is important to choose the most durable options. Thus, aluminum hooks can quickly break off because such material is not durable. Therefore, experts recommend purchasing steel products for hanging heavy bags or jackets. |
Tree | As in the previous case, this material is durable, which is why it is very popular. In addition, various decorative products are most often made from wood. |
Forged hooks made by hand by craftsmen are of particular value. They are treated on top with special substances to protect the metal from corrosion when exposed to high temperature or humidity. Thanks to such actions, they can last for a considerable number of years without requiring special care efforts.

Important point! Most often, hooks are fixed at a distance of 150 to 185 centimeters from the floor level. The exact height will depend on the height of the residents. In addition, you can provide hooks at a distance of 90-100 centimeters from the floor for children's clothing.
If years ago hooks were installed in one or more rows, now designers place them in different orders. They look equally stylish on a wooden or metal hanger.
Different hooks can be used on one hanger
The method of attaching the hook plays an important role. It is this criterion that affects the strength of the structure. Therefore, you should decide in advance what items are supposed to be hung.
You can read about attaching shelves to the wall without visible fasteners in our article.
Table No. 3. Types of hook fastenings
Variety | Description |
Self-tapping screws, screws, nails | This is the most reliable method of attaching hooks; it is most often used to fix metal products on a hanger. The only downside is the need to drill holes. |
Glue | Only suitable for installing hooks made of plastic or wood. However, this method of fastening can hardly be called reliable. |
Double-sided tape, suction cups | As in the previous case, such a mount is more likely to not withstand heavy loads. The only advantage is that the fittings can be moved to another location at any time. |
Magnets | Fastening hooks in this way is used extremely rarely. This requires the installation of a metal hanger. |

How to correctly: at what height to hang a hanger in the hallway
Here the answer couldn’t be simpler - so that both children and adults can comfortably reach the hanger. At the same time, coats should not “sweep” the floor. This means that the optimal height for installing the hanger will be 150-160 cm from the floor.
Experts recommend calculating the correct height of the hanger, which will be comfortable for all family members
Sometimes a separate hanger is made especially for children so that they do not pull jackets and coats off the main one by the hem. Naturally, a children's hanger can look more fun than the main one. Or, as an option, a two-story standing hanger. Children will hang their jackets on the bottom one.
What place does a hanger occupy in the interior of a hallway?
There is probably no such person in whose house there would not be a hanger. After all, everyone wants their clothes to be in order and have their place. That's what a hanger is for. If you don’t have it, you will have to put your clothes in the closet, where there is a high probability that they will become wrinkled and, as a result, will not look very presentable. And this is unlikely to interest anyone.
Hanger “Sea” (master class)
Decoupage the exact same hanger, just in a different style. This decoupage will appeal to lovers of marine themes.
To work you will need:
- Sandpaper.
- Acrylic paint in blue and white colors.
- Pictures on a marine theme.
- Varnish for craquelure.
- Shells, sea souvenirs.
- PVA glue.
- Glue for gluing shells.
- Tassels.
At the very beginning, we must sand the surface with sandpaper, wipe off the dust with a damp sponge, and then begin decoupage. We layer the pictures or napkins, leaving the top layer.
We place napkins or pictures on the surface of the hanger, and use diluted PVA glue to glue our pictures. We are waiting for complete drying. After this, apply blue acro paint with a brush. We wait for it to dry and apply craquelure varnish on top of the blue paint.
And after this varnish has dried, we apply white acro paint on top. All that remains is to apply the finishing varnish (water-based acrylic or alkyd).
The final stage is gluing the shells.
Here you have a beautiful marine style hanger ready.
Decoupage hangers (master class)
Simple, ordinary wooden coat hangers can be decorated to create original items. If you decoupage the hangers, they can also be used as a gift for loved ones. You can take whatever drawings or napkins you want - it depends on who you are doing this work for. Funny drawings with kittens, birds, and so on are appropriate for children. For adults - flowers, ornaments, etc.
To work you will need:
- Wooden or plastic hanger.
- Pictures or napkins for decoupage.
- PVA glue.
- Acro paint
- Craquelure varnish.
- Finishing varnish (acrylic or alkyd).
- Brush.
- Candle.
- Sandpaper.
All finished wooden hangers are varnished on top. This varnish must be removed with sandpaper. We wipe off the dust and degrease with any alcohol solution (vodka, alcohol, cologne). If you are going to create an aging effect, craquelure varnish is a must, without it you won’t get cracks.
Next, you need to paint the hangers in a dark color - this can be done either with acro paint or with dark water-based paint. The bottom layer of paint should be darker than the top. When the paint dries, we pass a candle along the side parts of the hanger. This way we will achieve the “aging” effect in these places.
Next, when the dark paint has dried, paint on top with white acrylic paint. dAfter the white paint has dried, we sand along the sides of the hangers. We ended up with “flaking paint.” Then we take napkins or pictures, glue diluted 2/1, and decoupage the hangers. We cover the top with several layers of finishing varnish. For craquelure: after covering with dark paint, we do decoupage, then craquelure varnish, and finally white acro paint. Coat with final acro varnish.
