Standing Wardrobes – Mobile and Flexible

Standing coat racksare the classic wardrobes and are particularly flexible. They do not require wall mounting and can be moved at any time. Ideal for rooms where walls should not be drilled or where there is no space for a wall wardrobe - through doors, for example.
They are mostly minimalistic and made of metal or more ornately made of wood. Even though they are a relic from the past, they can still be used well today.

Hanging wardrobes with shelves – stylish and practical

Hanging wardrobeswith integrated shelves offer a good combination of storage and design. These variants are not only suitable for hanging jackets and coats, but also offer space for accessories such as hats, bags or keys. This type of coat rack is particularly practical in narrow hallways where you still need a lot of storage space. At the same time, these coat racks are also very bulky and visually take up a lot of space.
If you have enough storage space elsewhere, you should think carefully about whether you should go for something more minimalist.

How many hooks should a coat rack ideally have?

This depends on the number of people in the household and the space available. For smaller households, 4-6 hooks are often sufficient, while larger households benefit from more hooks to hang up jackets, bags and accessories.

This is exactly where the furnishings make a difference. Especially the area next to the bed is often underestimated, even though it directly affects your daily routine every evening and every morning.
