Mount type
Before moving on to the more complicated decisions regarding looks and styles , the first thing you need to have figured is the type of mount your coat hanger stand will have. In order for you to make a decision in this case , try to think how much space you have on your wall and on your floor. Then think about which you’d like to use up more , while saving the other. To give you an idea , here’s an example. A wall mounted coat rack will take more of your vertical space , leaving you enough room on the floor for you to walk on or to add a shoe bench to safely put away your shoes. However , if that doesn’t sound like something you’d need , opt for a free-standing coat rack instead. With the second option you won’t have to worry about drilling your walls or a stressful installation and you can also move the tree coat stand around if you need to. As to other differences between a free-standing and a wall coat rack , the most obvious ones are of course regarding the appearance , as well as storage options. While the former can usually have some space for keeping your umbrella , the latter is more of a hat and coat stand that’s better when it comes to holding scarves and hats.

The features to look for
As mentioned before , depending on which mount type you’re going for , you’re looking at slightly different storage options and extra features that will prove very useful if you need them. For example , a wall mounted coat stand is more likely to come with extra shelves or even drawers , thus offering some great additional storage space for shoes , hats , scarves or any other accessories you’re using. In order to find a coat rack with shelf on Wayfair UK , simply go to the features filter and tick the corresponding option in order to get to the relevant products. On the other hand , a free-standing version might not be as great at holding shoes for example , but you can easily find a coat and umbrella stand in that category. However , storage is not the only extra feature to look for. You can get coat stands with inbuilt mirrors or stools , while some even include highly decorative hooks or hangers for your clothes.

Style and look
It’s time to leave practicality aside and go for the looks instead. Wayfair UK has a huge range of styles , finishes and materials for you to take your pick , so rest assured that no matter what coat stand you’re looking for , you will surely find it here. There are two ways to shop by look. If you know exactly what you want down to the finest details , then go for a thorough search. Pick the right finish and material and use the width , depth and height sliders to narrow down your search to only the most relevant coat stands. Alternatively , if you only have a rough idea of what you want , then it’s best to just select the most appropriate style and go from there. That’s also how you can quickly shop for a kids’ coat rack - just pick children’s in the style filter area.
