Shopping for Coat Trees The newest ones aren’t just for coats — and they’re as eye-catching as they are functional.When your closet is
bursting with winters coats — or you’re living in a small space without
any closet at all — a few extra hooks can help relieve the pressure.
That’s where a coat tree can prove invaluable.coat and hat rack stand “In a tighter space, it’s about making space,” said Dan Mazzarini, the
principal of BHDM Design, an interior design firm in New York. “We use
them in urban spaces to create makeshift mudrooms.” To maximize storage
space, Mr. Mazzarini often looks for coat trees with multiple places to
stow things. “A lot of them now aren’t just for coats,” he said. “They
have tiers on them, so they can hold your bag and shoes. Those we’ve
found to be really useful.” Many of the new coat trees also add a
sculptural element to a room, so you might want one even if you’re not
in desperate need of extra storage. “In some of our bigger private
residences we’ve done a coat tree for a little flair,” Mr. Mazzarini
said. “It’s about rounding out the look of an entry space.” Is a coat
tree better than wall-mounted hooks? “A coat tree is great when you
don’t have a lot of wall space to do hooks; hooks are better when you
have space to spread out,” Mr. Mazzarini said. How sturdy does it need
to be? “In climates like New York, where you have heavy coats, we look
for something with a wider or weighted base,” he said. How much does it
need to hold? If you have a lot to store, make sure the coat tree has
enough hooks, Mr. Mazzarini said, as well as places to put various
accessories.
