Branch out and starting using a coat tree as a convenient spot to hang your hat (and coat!)

A furniture-quality coat tree is an inexpensive way to dress up a room, accent a corner, and provide a functional piece of art. Popular for wedding gifts and housewarmings, a coat tree is something anyone, any home, can use, with added benefit of freeing up the closet for other storage needs.
Wrought iron or oak and brass coat trees are a traditional choice, but there are racks to fit any décor and budget. Coat trees constructed of powdered metal, high-tech plastic, rustic logs and painted wood are available online and in local stores that sell home furnishings and gifts.
No matter the material and style, a coat usually has four to eight hooks, providing space-efficient storage for hats, coats and scarves. Some styles include a ring around the pole, intended to hold umbrellas.
Look for a Coat Rack that has a steady, heavy base that can support one or several heavy coats. Before buying, test it with your own jacket to make sure it doesn't wobble or lean with just one jacket.
In urban homes where space is at a premium, a sleek coat tree near the front door will keep the current season's jackets handy and give last season's coats room to breathe in the closet. Classic racks for Victorian homes are easy to find, whether in a graceful scrolled iron style or vintage carved oak with claw feet.
Small size, multi-colored coat trees make it easier for little ones to stash their jackets or hang up their bathrobes. Colorful cartoon characters are even blooming on coat trees – you might find yourself telling junior to put his coat on Sponge Bob or Dora the Explorer! A pint-size rack in their rooms gets children started early learning to pick up after themselves, so let them take part in the selection process.
Whether loaded with coats in the foyer, or fuzzy bathrobes in little ones' bedrooms, your coat rack is a functional, fun family tree!
