Wall hooks for clothes in the hallway: what are and how to choose?

The problem of the optimal use of space in an apartment or house is familiar to almost all of us. Stylish modern wall hooks for outerwear are becoming more popular for small halls, have become firmly established in our everyday life, and are used daily to store outerwear and various accessories.

Wall-mounted furniture hooks in the hallway are necessary so that family members, returning home, can hang outerwear and accessories (umbrellas, bags, scarves, etc.) for storage. When guests visit, hooks for clothes in the hallway will also be needed. The use of wall hooks has undeniable advantages.

• Compactness. Most of all, open hangers with hooks are preferred by owners of small rooms. Not every hallway can accommodate a bulky wardrobe. Compact hooks allow you to solve this problem without loss in the comfort of living.
• Affordable cost. In the context of modern realities, this is an important factor. Any set of hooks for furniture, even the most stylish, costs significantly less than a wardrobe.
• Functionality. Durable, correctly mounted hooks can easily withstand heavy winter clothes (coats, fur coats, down jackets), and miniature elements are convenient for storing light objects (hats, keys, umbrellas).
• Easy to install. There are no problems with hooks. If it becomes crowded on the hanger, it is enough to mount another 2-3 hooks, and the additional space for clothes is ready without buying a new cabinet.
• Variety of assortment. Among the many options there is always an ideal solution that meets the needs of the consumer and the design of a particular room.

Wall fittings are made mainly of metal, wood and plastic.

• Metal. Furniture hooks made of chrome steel, aluminum or bronze are strong, reliable, durable. It is metal hooks that are most suitable for the hallway, can easily withstand high loads. The minus of metal hooks is the need to drill a wall for mounting on self-tapping screws.

• Wood. Hooks made of painted lacquered wood look stylish, easier to fasten, withstand the load when hanging heavy items of clothing, but not suitable for any interior, are used much less often.

• Plastic. The most budget option. Obviously unacceptable for a refined interior. It is not suitable for heavy outerwear, but for many household trifles it is a worthy solution.

Of course, materials for manufacturing are not limited to these types. In luxury housing with luxurious furniture, the fittings can be silver or gilded, decorated with inlay. Technologies have been developed for the production of modern materials from non-metals or metal shavings by pressing during high-temperature heat treatment.

In apartments and houses simpler, many craftsmen make hooks with their own hands from improvised materials and get original results. Compositions are used from cutlery, tools, fasteners, pipe scraps, beautifully bent accordingly.

By design, furniture hooks are:

• single track (single) - have high strength, withstand heavy loads, are used to store heavy types of outerwear, large bags, filled with backpacks;
• double-arm (double) - they optimally combine strength and functionality, are most common, are used for simultaneous storage of one large garment item (on one of the horns) and several small items (on the second);
• three-arm (triple) - consist of 1 large horn and two smaller ones, used to store lighter items of clothing and small items, as if the weight is unevenly distributed, the hook may become deformed or break.

You can arrange the hooks in different ways: fasten directly to the wall, door, decorative panel, open area of ​​the side wall of the furniture in the hallway. You can fix it in one row, at different levels, diagonally - as you like. It is good to provide separate hooks for children and fix them low so that children themselves can conveniently hang their clothes (for example, coming from school or returning from a walk). The choice of mounting method is affected by:

• what material the element is made of;
• weight of things to be hung;
• weight and size of the hook itself;
• the surface on which the hooks will be placed.

For fastening single-track hooks, special studs with metric threads are most often used. The self-tapping part of such a stud is screwed into the surface, and a hook is screwed onto the metric thread. Such elements can be mounted with screws or screws one at a time, or combined into a variety of systems in the form of structures, and can also be folded down when nothing is hanging on the hanger. Two-arm and three-arm products are attached using screws or screws (by design).

Wherein the length and type of self-tapping screw for a particular surface is taken into account based on the thickness of the panel and material to obtain a reliable element. For example, an improperly selected self-tapping screw under load will simply be torn out of drywall, for this material you need to take molly dowels.

Properly selected furniture hooks will be used comfortably, organically fit into the design style of the room, will not require replacement for a long time and will not cause any trouble for the owners. It is necessary to take into account not only functionality, but also the aesthetic component of the appearance of the products, since in the hallway they are constantly in sight and are used daily. It is not difficult to determine the size. Large winter hooks are suitable for winter clothes and weighty bags, for small household items and various accessories - small elements.

The choice of design is also not particularly difficult. It is necessary to determine what and where will be stored. Single hooks for storing heavy items. On such elements, the load is distributed evenly, the product will last for many years.

The most important selection parameter is material. Metal products from aluminum and steel are the most durable, withstand high loads and do not rust. It is recommended to choose high-quality branded accessories that make up a single style with other elements (door handles, hinges, closers). Wooden products are an ageless classic, appreciated for their naturalness and decorativeness, but less durable and durable compared to metal, which is natural. Plastic elements in hallways are rarely used, except for children's things, shoe shovels, keys, as they can break, peel off under load, require frequent replacement. Typically, plastic products are not chosen in the hallway, but in the kitchen, bathroom, bathroom, where the load is much lower.

The expression "hallway begins with a hanger" is familiar to everyone. Well-chosen fittings not only serve for convenience and comfort, but also harmoniously complement the overall style of decoration in the room. A variety of design ideas is amazing. In modern developments, you can find accessories of all kinds of shapes and sizes, allowing you to choose the right elements for almost any style of interior.
