When you get home you never know where to put your bag and jacket. You have considered buying a hanger for the hall , but none of those you find on the market satisfy you. What to do, then
you have to resign yourself to the disorder
Not even for a dream!
With DIY coat hangers, tidy up and add a pinch of whimsy to the home. Mount them next to the front door or in the bedroom : finding space for coats, shirts, umbrellas and bags will no longer be a problem!
Let’s find out what you need to shape your style. The clothes rail
The clothes railis the simplest solution among those that we are going to see: you can do it even if you do not have great manual skills. Depending on your needs, you can mount it in a niche in the hallway or bedroom , next to the wardrobe or bedside table. You need:
- 1 metal or wooden stick. A bamboo cane or the handle of an old broom is also fine;
- 2 chains / ropes, depending on the material of the stick;
- 2 hooks for the ceiling;
- sand paper;
- paint;
- transparent nail polish.
When you buy the stick, make sure it is the length you need and has two holes , about 2 cm from the ends . If it’s a recycled stick, clean it with sandpaper to remove any traces of paint. At this point, paint it with the colors you prefer, let it dry and give it a layer of transparent enamel.
Once the rod is ready, attach the hooks to the ceiling where you want to mount your clothes rail. Make sure the distance is the same as between the holes on the stick. Tie the rope or chain to the stick and hang it from the hooks on the ceiling. To hang your clothes or jackets you just need ordinary hangers .Coat hanger for the entrance with cutlery
Among the do-it -yourself coat hangers it is perhaps the best known. It is designed above all as a coat hanger solution in the entrance, but also for the kitchen, for tea towels and so on. It has a classic style, a little vintage, and its construction is laborious, however the final result will not make you regret the shop alternatives at all.
To make a hanger for the hallway or the kitchen you need:
- 4 metal forks or 2 forks and 2 spoons, perhaps bought at a flea market or found in the cellar;
- 1 planed wood strip approximately 45 cm long and 20 cm high;
- 2 hooks;
- viti;
- drill;
Use the parrot to fold the handle of forks and spoons up or down, so that you can use it as you wish to hang clothes, jackets or other. If you want, bend your teeth as well and curl them or leave them as they are. The effect will be different but still pleasant.
If desired, paint the wooden batten and apply a layer of enamel to give it a glossy finish. It is not strictly necessary: it depends on whether you want to get a more rustic or elegant effect. Before proceeding with fixing the cutlery, fix the two hooks on the back : you will need them to hang the coat hanger at the entrance.
Mark four points in the middle of the height of the batten, well aligned with each other. Two should be 5 cm from the ends and the others 15 cm from each other. Once you make sure they are straight and at the same distance from each other, use them as a reference to secure forks and spoons with a drill and screws. Design coat hangers with glasses
Design coat hangers are distinguished by the abundance of colors and liveliness. They are combined with contemporary furnishings , which in turn are very colorful or based on a more dry black and white. In both cases, they are a solution that has nothing to do with classic and neutral solutions.
You want to make your own design DIY coat rack
Get:
- 4 colored hard plastic cups;
- 1 planed wood strip approximately 45 cm long and 20 cm high;
- viti;
- drill;
First of all fix the two hooks on the back of the batten. As with the hall hanger, then mark four equally spaced points. Look for the center of the glasses and secure them with the screws and the drill. Your designer coat rack is ready to be used!
If you want to give the whole a little more movement, place the glasses at different heights . Alternatively, paint the strip in the color of your choice and replace the glasses with old sewing spools. Tree coat hangers
The tree coat hangersthey consist of a straight stick from which many branches emerge, to be used precisely to hang jackets and bags. They are a very popular type in the shop, but how to make them at home

5 wooden sticks with a round base 170 cm high; twine of the color of your choice; lots of patience.
Place the spiral sticks so that they cross each other about two-thirds high . Get someone to help you hold them all together and roll the string around the intersection. Once secured in this manner, put on your new tree coat hangerwhere you want. If you want to make sure the sticks stay in place, secure them with wood glue before rolling the twine .
