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.

Coat racks – minimalist and space-saving

Die Garderobenleiste ist ideal für Einrichtungsliebende, die einen Eyecatcher etwas über die Funktionalität stellen, aber dennoch viele Kleidungsstücke unterbringen möchtest. Mit mehreren Kleiderhaken ausgestattet, können Jacken, Taschen und Accessoires platzsparend und übersichtlich aufgehängt werden.

Wall hooks – individual and versatile

wall hooksoffer maximum flexibility and can be arranged as required. They are the perfect choice if you are looking for an individual solution or want to make good use of unused walls.

Different materials for wardrobes – what suits you?

Wardrobes are available in many different materials and combinations. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages, as well as special characteristics.


Metal

Metal is theideal material for wardrobesif you are looking for stability and a modern look. It is durable and easy to clean, fits perfectly with an industrial interior design style and remains timelessly elegant. Matt or glossy surfaces set clear accents.


Wood

Plastic

Plastic wardrobes arelightweight, affordable and available in many coloursThey fit particularly well in modern, playful rooms or children's rooms, but do not offer the same durability as metal or wood.

Conclusion – Wardrobes that combine design and function

What is the advantage of metal wardrobes?

Metal offers high stability, is easy to maintain and gives the room a modern, industrial look.
Which wardrobe fits in narrow hallways?

Hanging coat racks or coat rails are ideal for narrow hallways as they keep the floor clear and take up little space.
Which materials are suitable for a modern design?

Metal, wood and leather are particularly suitable for a modern, stylish design. These materials appear timeless and high-quality.
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.
Can I also mount wardrobes on lightweight walls?

Yes, you can also mount coat racks on lightweight walls, but it is important to use special dowels or cavity anchors. These ensure that the weight of the coat rack and the clothes hanging on it are safely supported.
