Shop Antique Coat Racks
Every house has a unique aesthetic. Fortunately, there are several different types of antique coat racks, so you can easily find an option that matches your style and interior decor. Below are some of the most common types of antique coat racks.
Standalone Racks
Standalone racks are a classic option with a single rack you can place where you want in your home. This simple type of rack is practical, attractive, and does not take up too much space. In addition, standalone racks come in wood, metal, and plastic varieties, with a large number of decorative options.
Artisan Racks
Artisan racks can take on many styles and appearances, but their key element is they utilize unconventional shapes and materials. For example, someone might make an artisanal coat rack out of untreated wood or scrap metal. Artisanal designs are often unique and typically channel a specific theme in their appearance.
Wall-Mounted Racks
Wall-mounted racks are another antique coat rack option that saves space. These racks attach directly to a wall and don’t have a stand.
The wall-mounted design makes them sleek and unobtrusive, but you need ample amounts of wall space to hang the rack in the first place. Wall-mounted racks come in several varieties, including wood, metal, and unconventional materials.
Corner Coat Racks
As the name implies, corner coat racks can go in the corner of your home to reduce space usage and minimize clutter. These kinds of racks have a rectangular shape that you can directly place in the corner of your rooms. Like most other coat racks, they are available in numerous materials and styles.
Coat Rack Materials
Antique coat racks feature several different materials. Below is a list of common coat rack materials.
- Wood
- Metal
- Plastic
- Composite
Wood and metal are probably the most “antique” materials on the list, but you can find antique-style coat racks with more modern materials.
Whether you have a history-inspired or minimalist interior aesthetic, antique coat racks are the perfect addition, bringing both stunning visuals and valuable functionality. Before deciding on a type of coat rack, consider how often you’ll use it, your current home layout, and your desired interior design.
