According to the great director, theater begins with a hanger. But is it only theater?
It is difficult to imagine any home - be it a cozy apartment or a spacious cottage - without this integral attribute of our life.
A coat rack on the floor, hooks on the wall in the hallway, hangers in the closet... They have one role: to keep our things in neat condition.
However, people with a rich imagination are able to turn this boring piece of furniture almost into a work of art. A simple set of tools for work, patience and a couple of non-standard ideas - and you are the owner of a unique thing.
The main thing in any home is a spacious closet. It combines blouses and dresses, trousers and skirts, gloves and scarves, coats and raincoats.
A good housewife has every thing in its place. The clothes in the closet are different. And the hangers for it should also be different.
How to make a hanger with your own hands? Believe me, it's easy and even fun. Rifle through the chest of long-forgotten grandma's dresses. You will find amazing things there.
Antique hangers (the so-called hangers) can be restored, and they will turn into the main decoration of your closet.
In the old days, coat hangers were made of wood. Using one of the decorative techniques, you can give an old thing new life. And what a life... You will want to hang such beauty on the wall, and not in the closet - and let everyone admire it.
You can transform a clothes hanger using decoupage, unusual coloring or appliqué.
The soft hangers are very easy to use. Things on them keep their shape and do not slip off. You need to wrap regular trempels with thin foam rubber, and then cover them with a nice fabric. Beads and ribbons will give your new item a special charm.
How to decorate your home with a wooden hanger self-made more difficult. Woodworking requires special skill. And special tools are needed here.
Wall hanger is a simple design. However, its manufacture should be approached with the utmost seriousness - then it will serve you for a long time.
The main key to success is strong, dry wood without cracks. A piece of timber or a board is perfect. The length of the workpiece depends on the length of the future hanger. Before starting work, it would be a good idea to treat the wood with an antiseptic.
Panel fastenings are arranged on the board in one, two or three rows as desired.
Such a hanger belongs behind the door in the bedroom, as well as in the bathroom, pantry or bathhouse.
Accuracy is cultivated from childhood. Equip your children's room with a simple hanger. And if it is decorated with images of favorite cartoon characters, the child will be happy to take care of his clothes.
Do not attach the hanger directly to a plaster wall. Otherwise, you risk “whitewashing” your clothes. And a jacket or raincoat that gets wet in the rain will leave unsightly stains on the surface of the wall. To avoid this, you need to attach a sheet of plywood, thick paper or polyethylene under the hanger.
Panels for hooks can be given any shape - waves, ovals, hearts, suns, etc.
Attention! Using untreated wood is fraught with a lot of splinters. Don't forget to polish the hanger panel.
Use empty spools of thread or ready-made hooks of any shape as fastenings.
And if you turn on creativity, dried twigs or plant roots will be used. Trim them, remove the bark, sand them, varnish them - and here you have the hooks. You definitely won't find these in the store.
A simple wall hanger can be made from ordinary wooden planks. Nail them parallel to the wall - this is both a basis for fastenings, and protection of clothes from whitewashing, and interior decoration.
Of course, you can’t make such a hanger in half an hour. But the end result of your labors will be a real hanger. All that remains is to attach a shelf at the top for storing hats.
A good hanger for the hallway should be durable, beautiful, and at the same time as spacious as possible. IN limited space the hallway must accommodate items outerwear, shoes and numerous accessories.
This should not be forgotten when designing a hanger. There should be enough compartments and shelves near the hanger in the hallway to accommodate everything you need.
Attention! When marking, consider the size of the wall on which you will place the hanger.
For standard apartment A hanger of this size is quite suitable: width - about 1 meter, height - slightly more than head level. Fastenings for clothes are placed on the panel in 2-3 rows.
A shelf for hats is needed at the top of the hanger. The strength of the structure will be given by the slats.
They are attached to the sides of the structure, connecting the shelf to the panel at an angle of 45 degrees. It is best to secure the hanger to the wall using dowels.
Making a hanger hanger with your own hands is very simple. There are many ways to make such hangers. You will need: large section wire, branch cuttings of a suitable shape, small plastic bottles, placed on a wire base, a metal bar or plate bent at the desired angle.
Wrap the base of the hanger with thin foam rubber or other similar material. Then choose a fabric that matches the color and sew around the base. Give the resulting cute little thing some charm with ribbons, beads or lace.
If the hanger is intended for a baby, decorate it with a funny face or applique. Pick a hook and hang it in the closet.
You can solve the problem of placing clothes in spacious rooms with the help of floor hangers. Floor hangers are commonly used in reception areas of various institutions.
These interior items are made from metal pipes. A floor hanger is a universal thing. You can place almost anything on it. Except, of course, shoes.
The disadvantage of a pipe hanger is its instability. If things are placed unevenly on it, it may fall.
But the floor hanger can always be rearranged Right place or even hide it in the closet.
This type of hanger is rarely used in residential premises: it takes up a lot of space and poses a danger to children. Nevertheless floor hanger rack It’s quite possible to make it yourself. The materials usually used are:
Attention! The main thing in a floor hanger is its stability.
A hanger can be made from absolutely any material or object. Sounds incredible? Don't believe me?
See for yourself:
Shirts, jackets and even trousers are often hung on the back of a chair. Why not turn the back of the chair into an original hanger for those same shirts and jackets? This design can easily fit the entire suit.
Perfect for storing belts, sashes, and ties. homemade hangers in the form of rings.
Before you start making or decorating hangers, think about what style prevails in the interior of your room or hallway. After all new thing should fit perfectly into the existing interior. Here are some examples:
As you know, not only the theater begins with a hanger, but also a visit to other less pretentious institutions. Every housewife, of course, wants her house to be remembered by guests not just for its rich treats, but for its unique furniture.
Making an interior item both beautiful and multifunctional is not easy. But with regard to a clothes hanger, these two points are fundamental, because the limited number square meters in the hallway obliges you to save not only free space, but also “working” space.
For small rooms should only be considered floor options hangers. Why?
Firstly, the things that should be in the hallway belong to the demi-season period or the cold season. Jackets, fur coats, and down jackets weigh a lot, which is why ordinary hangers rarely support their weight. And when not only parents’ coats are hung on one hanger, but also children’s jackets, guests’ raincoats, grandmothers’ umbrellas, even the most persistent “fighters” cannot withstand this load. The “correct” floor hanger allows you to place all the necessary things, and can also easily support their weight!
Secondly, winter and demi-season coats often differ radically in weight. As you know, it is impossible to put fighters of different weight categories into the ring. The same case: if a September raincoat hangs on one side of the scale, and a fox fur coat is piled on the other, the mechanism will crack. The stains from dirt stains will have to be removed from the beautiful fur of the fur coat, and the unstable hanger will need to be repaired.
Thirdly, things need space and air - without it they wither away. The lack of the necessary distance between several warm things gives rise to bad smell, infections. That is why it is important to leave some space between the fur of a fur coat and, for example, a sheepskin coat. Floor-standing ones with a strong rod allow you to correctly place almost all warm items into categories without the risk of mold, unpleasant deposits or suffocating odors.
Unfortunately, often already ready-made options floor hangers are designed for large apartments or private houses, and the inhabitants of modest “one-room apartments” or “two-room apartments” are allowed to be content only with wall-mounted fragile mechanisms: compact, but absolutely impractical.
In this case, you can develop the design yourself or entrust this task to a professional designer. He will take into account your wishes, the number of free meters in the hallway, color scheme and the amount of warm clothing.
The high ceilings of the hallway (in this part of the apartment the ceiling can reach a height of 3-3.5 meters) allow you to make a closet that reaches right up to the ceiling. This allows, in addition to the hanger itself, to fill the space inside the cabinet with various useful internals:
Your hanger turns from an ordinary rod into a multifunctional closet in which you can hide everything: from shoes and umbrellas to a butterfly net or fishing rods.
One of the varieties is corner, the appearance of which brings it as close as possible to a wardrobe (including in terms of multifunctionality). A large number of It makes sense to install mirrors in a closet only if the lighting in your hallway is installed correctly. If desired, you can add wall lamps or mini floor lamps, but you must take into account that such a light source is still not enough if you want, for example, to apply makeup or try on a new skirt.
If you decide to install a mirror, then you need to choose the most convenient option for you: external or internal. The external mirror will have to be washed more often, but there will be no problems with light (if other lamps are present). The interior will be in constant twilight, but the surface will always remain clean. The choice is yours.
The design of the hook hanger, known to us from the old Soviet times, has now been significantly improved. We are all accustomed to the fact that hooks are usually located on a crossbar, which is attached directly to the wall. This makes the structure entirely dependent on the strength of the wall and the strength of the material from which it is made. Typically, hangers of this design are left for the bathroom or pantry: these rooms do not require much physical effort from the furniture.
Meanwhile, correct design floor hanger with a small amount of crochet, allows you to increase functionality, and will solve some problems associated with the short stature of the apartment’s inhabitants. Floor-standing usually imply the presence of an upper shelf on which they place:
This is not always the right decision for families with children or for adults whose height is less than 170 cm: if, for example, a person comes to visit you who cannot reach the cherished line, this can put you in an awkward position.
The decision to put things on the lower shelves also poses some difficulties, since many apartments have pets: your beret may not be happy.
In this case, the only the right decision There will be either a closed wardrobe or special hooks for small items. Of course, the entire hanger cannot consist of such hooks. But they will be an excellent addition to those elements that are already in the design.
A sliding wardrobe is now one of the most common, most expensive and, unfortunately, most impractical options. What's the catch here?
This is one of the most conservative and most acceptable solutions for small apartments. A hanger-bench usually consists of the following modules:
These are rarely metal or plastic. The design of this somewhat old-fashioned, but very practical unit is carried out exclusively by people who know a lot about organizing space. Products are usually made of wood; hooks, base and crossbars in this case should be metal or also wooden.
In addition to strength, it is good for apartments where elderly or disabled people live. A stool next to the wardrobe takes up an unacceptable amount of space. The bench hanger is more compact. The option that, between you and me, you can think about...
“Minimalism is our everything,” this phrase has practically become the motto of postmodern interior design. Small apartment With small rooms And small-sized furniture Needs a small hanger.
The hanger-bar can fit everything that a couple needs in a cozy “one-room apartment”:
The stand below can accommodate several (6-8) pairs of shoes (for one season). True, shoes will have to be removed from time to time (alternating summer and winter seasons), but the same problem arises in the case of a wardrobe.
Remember a simple truth: the more space you have for things, the more large quantity things are trying to fill this space.
Advice
When purchasing a crossbar, pay attention to the material from which the crossbar is made, the holders and the fastenings themselves. The rod must withstand the weight of coats and jackets, and also all the hangers that you will attach to this crossbar.
Below there may be an additional shelf for shoes, made of a material that will not be too easily soiled (pay attention to the color).
Have you chosen a type, but are still confused about the material from which it will be made? Both the appearance and its strength depend on the material.
What to choose from?
Interesting plastic model
Plastic furniture offers a wealth of design solutions:
This is especially true for manufacturers of sliding wardrobes: what more beautiful furniture, the faster the owner will be found. Meanwhile, after just a few months, the same owner is forced to take the warranty card out of the box, since a cabinet or shelf made of plastic will show its true face after just a few weeks of use: a screw will fly off and get scratched glossy surface, or even worse: the door will fall off...
A sad prospect, isn't it?
Good strength, but not too much practicality - that's what metal cabinets are all about. Metal structures can withstand a giant's outerwear, a dozen of the heaviest sheepskin coats, and many pairs of boots... However, the obsessive shine and too sharp reaction to temperature changes may not be very pleasant for both floor covering, and wall cladding.
Often, due to too sharp a temperature change (condensation has formed on the hanger), excess moisture begins to have a decomposing effect on the space of the wall near the hanger: wallpaper peels off, plaster “flows,” and unpleasant streaks appear on the paint. Sometimes parquet or linoleum may become deformed. Moreover, the deformation is caused not so much by condensation as by the large weight of the hanger: metal constructions weigh up to several tens of kilograms.
The external strength is very attractive for a floor hanger. But is this characteristic worth it? cosmetic repairs hallway?
Can be easily done with your own hands. It is quite often used not only in residential apartments and houses, but also in offices. Of course, such an item can be purchased at a relevant store, but quite often the cost of a hanger is high and not all models are suitable in color and size. This item is an excellent solution for a hallway that does not have enough free space. Such designs, which can be purchased in a store, most often have two sides for easy access (out of four). The coat hanger-hook does not have such shortcomings; purchasing and fixing it is as easy as shelling pears. Often, in its manufacture, accessible hooks are used, which are located as close as possible, this subsequently makes it difficult to access the other sides. Ultimately, the floor hanger ends up loaded on one side, which quite often causes it to fall. This is due to the fact that the structure has a too high center of gravity. You may have noticed that not all hangers have hooks for hats and bags. That is why you can come up with your own design, taking into account all the shortcomings of factory products.
The floor hanger can be made by any novice craftsman. However, initially it is necessary to prepare a set of tools and materials, among them: self-tapping screws, laminated chipboard, a rotating mechanism, confirmations, a jigsaw, and an edge.
So, your choice is a floor clothes hanger. By making it yourself, you can save money, because the models presented in stores are quite expensive. However, before starting production, you need to develop a design design, and you should take into account the problems that were described above. This will allow you to get a hanger that will be distinguished by functionality and ease of use. The base of the product will be hollow parallelepipeds, which must be installed on a rotary type base. It has two planes. The rotating mechanism must be located between the supporting bases, which are located below. You can purchase accessories in a specialized store. The mechanism must have bearings that will ensure rotation under a load weighing up to 110 kilograms. The supporting base in the upper plane can be rounded; a jigsaw is used for this.
If you are making a floor, you will need to initially prepare the parts. The structure is assembled using laminated chipboard, the thickness of the material should be 16 millimeters. The color is selected depending on the features of the interior and other pieces of furniture that are in the hallway. When preparing parts, it is important to maintain right angles, so experts advise ordering the cutting of elements from professionals, but you can do the gluing of the edges yourself.
Before you make a clothes hanger, you should learn about how edge gluing is done. It has an adhesive base and can be melamine. Its thickness is 0.5 mm or less. The edge is applied to the end of the element, with the adhesive base facing down. Then it is ironed with an iron, which should not be heated. Until the edge has cooled down, it is smoothed using a dry rag. At the next stage, the edges are processed; excess edges will need to be removed using sandpaper and a sharp knife.
In order to get a clothes hanger on wheels, you will need to prepare a square bottom base with a side of 560 millimeters. The top base should have a side equivalent to 380 millimeters. The side elements of the lower part are made in quantities of 2 pieces, the dimensions of each should be 600x300 millimeters. All other parts are made in the amount of 2 pieces, this applies to the internal side elements that will make up the lower part. The dimensions of each given workpiece must be 600x267 millimeters. The upper and lower parts will have a square shape with a side of 267 mm. Similar parts are made with a square side of 167 millimeters.
The side elements should have dimensions equal to 1200x200 millimeters. The side inner parts of the top have dimensions that are 1200x167 millimeters.
You can purchase a metal clothes hanger in a store - this is easier to do than making it yourself. But if you decide to make your own floor structure from wood, then for assembly you need to use confirmations with dimensions of 50x70 millimeters. For them, holes located at the ends are pre-prepared. To do this, use a 5 mm drill. The depth of the holes should be 60 millimeters. Holes in the plane must have a depth equivalent to 8 millimeters. They need to be done through and through. There is no need to be afraid that the fastener heads will be visible - later they can be hidden using plugs. You can also make a wall-mounted clothes hanger with your own hands. To do this, you need to prepare a laminated chipboard strip, several hooks and fasteners. All these components are connected to each other, and then the structure is hung on the wall. In the case of a floor structure, everything is different. The hanger will rotate due to the presence rotary mechanism, it is fixed with 4x16 mm screws.
The rotating mechanism has a one-piece design, and it is attached to the base by creating technological holes 10 millimeters deep. Initially, markings have to be made. After the hanger is assembled, the fasteners will be hidden by the top plane. The hanger can be equipped with different hooks. Thus, the top ones may be longer, allowing them to be used for hats. The middle ones are intended for children's clothing, but as for the lower ones, bags can be placed on them. The structure is stable due to the fact that the center of gravity moves closer to the floor surface.
A wall-mounted clothes hanger in the hallway can also be made by you. To do this, you need to prepare a board, timber, and hooks. The board must have the following sections: 25x150, 50x100, and 25x80 millimeters. As for the timber, it must have square section with a side of 100 millimeters. The base will be a beam, which is marked taking into account the required length and cut off. If the hanger is not wall-mounted, but floor-mounted, then legs should be attached to it. The design must be processed sandpaper. If legs are provided, they must have a length of 350 millimeters. The legs on one side are cut at an angle of 45 degrees, which will add aesthetics. There should be supports at their edges that are fixed. These additional blanks are cut from a board whose cross-section is 25x80 millimeters.
The legs can be strengthened with elements 330 millimeters long. These blanks are made from 50x100 mm boards. There should be four of them. When making a wall-mounted clothes hanger for the hallway, top part can be made more elegant by decorating it with decor, which is made from a 5-centimeter board. The lumber is used to cut a square, which is screwed to the top of the base using two screws. The workpiece is strengthened with the help of fittings, however, if you want to make a decorative element yourself, then it should be deprived of fasteners for screwing. In this case, the workpiece is glued using carpentry compound.
When making clothes hangers for a closet, it is important to ensure high-quality fasteners. Quite often, not only the mechanical, but also the adhesive method is used. In the latter case, both surfaces should be lubricated. After this, the structure is left until the composition has completely dried and only then can it be treated with varnish or stain. The mixture is applied in several layers, between each of which the product should be left until completely dry. Afterwards the surface is treated with sandpaper. Before applying the next layer, the surface must be wiped with a damp cloth. In the process of making clothes hangers for a closet, the above technology can be used. However, no matter what design you choose, if it is based on wood, all corners must be cleaned, and the same applies to the ends of the structure. This can be done between applying layers, then the surface will acquire the effect of antiquity.

Nowadays, not only theater begins with a hanger. It is a mandatory attribute of even the tiniest hallway, and its influence on the interior can hardly be overestimated. A correctly selected wall hanger for the hallway will not only become functional element, but will also decorate the room and become its highlight.
A wall hanger in the hallway can be simple and uncomplicated, or it can turn a simple renovation into designer interior as in the photo. According to its functional characteristics, it can be wall-mounted or floor-mounted, or simply built-in. Clothes can be placed on it using hooks or hangers. The latter have priority when storing clothes, as they help preserve them appearance, do not allow it to deform. However, only the owner of the apartment can decide which wall hanger to choose for the hallway.
Hangers must be functional, easy to clean and durable, which is why most are made of wood or metal.
Wooden wall hangers for the hallway, photos of which can be viewed in our photo gallery, are made of natural wood. The most popular materials for their manufacture are beech, birch, pine, alder, ash, and some elements that make the model decorative are made of plastic, rubber or metal.
Manufacturers treat products with special compounds that prolong the life of wood, paint, varnish or age them. Models of solid wood hangers will fit perfectly into the interior of the hallway of an apartment or house, decorated with decorative stone.
Metal wall hangers in the hallway are more durable and functional. They are usually made from alloys of aluminum, steel, iron or chromium. Metal models will find their application not only in home environment, but also in office premises, in restaurants or cinemas.
Metal models are distinguished by a variety of colors: the bulk of the products are painted in dark colors, gold and chrome-plated models or designed to look like aged wood are also popular. A white wall hanger in the hallway will look elegant and freshen up the room, but similar models are not widely used.
In order for the purchase to be successful, and the purchased product to please you with its decorative effect, you should listen to the recommendations of specialists.
There is no way in the hallway without a hanger - you can’t throw taken off raincoats, coats and hats on the floor. You can, of course, drive several large nails into the wall, but this is not at all aesthetically pleasing. And the wallpaper will become greasy, getting dirty from outerwear. The real one will be much more pleasing to the eye and more practical - or, as you like. And you can build it yourself, and you don’t need to be a furniture ace to do this.
We will need skillful hands, simple home tool and a minimum of materials. You can even use waste, by the way. Or beautiful twigs with twigs found in the forest.
So, the arsenal of the tool will be as follows:
To create some variants of hangers, metal corners and a jigsaw may also be useful (if you need to cut out shaped surfaces). If you want to create, then there will be a need for welding machine. However, for simple products it is not needed.
Simple DIY hallway hanger
Now about the materials. The most popular - wooden boards, plywood and bars, as well as their trimmings. Hangers are often made from wood boards - it is better to take laminated ones, which look more attractive. However, you can also paint regular chipboards by first priming them. It will also turn out impressive.
And if you have an old floor lamp with a stable base that you can’t get around to throwing away, then you can give it a second life in the form of a floor-type hanger. To do this, just remove the lampshade along with the lamp mount and disconnect the power cord. All that remains is to paint the product in your favorite color, not forgetting to first attach hooks to the upper metal circle - woven ones made of wire work well here.
By the way, hooks for hanging in the hallway - important detail. They should be large and comfortable. You can buy them in the store furniture fittings, or you can show your imagination. Natural materials – good help at work. Moreover, the products made from them are exclusive - no one will have anything like them. For example, you can use twigs and branches, sanded and varnished, as hooks. Beautiful and functional.
Another interesting and original version- hooks from teaspoons bent in half. Or aluminum forks. In both cases, the handle is the lower (main) part of the product. You can also bend hooks from thick wire, shaping them decorative elements- beads, for example.

The basis of the hanger is the shield on which the hooks will be placed. It can be made solid (from a wood board or a centimeter sheet of plywood) or lattice. Last option preferable - it is lighter, and less material is used.
The next video promises to teach you how to create wall hangings with your own hands. wooden hangers in the hallway from one board:
Here it is important to take care of a heavy base that should not tip over.
Now - the hanger post.
For those who have a welding machine and like to work with metal, you can make a heavy and durable metal hanger. To do this, you will need a pipe with a diameter of approximately 3 centimeters, as well as steel rods for legs and hooks with a diameter of 1.6 and 1 centimeter (respectively). There will be three legs - they are smoothly bent and welded to the pipe. Several hooks are made at the top, just like in similar finished products. And then the structure is painted.
Floor hanger that is easy to create with your own hands
Natural wood is easy to process and finish, and is also environmentally friendly. In addition, almost every skilled owner will have scraps of slats, bars, boards or pieces of plywood. A little imagination, a couple of free evenings - and here in front of the admiring household members is an original hanger. All you need is two longitudinal strips, several transverse ones (by the way, it’s good to use ready-made platbands for this purpose) and hooks of your choice. For example, wooden knots, furniture handles or bright plastic cups.
Wood boards are a very useful material. You can use a jigsaw to cut out all kinds of shaped products from them. For example, a hanger, the contours of which are made in the form of a stylized tree - this is now fashionable. Having cut it out, we paint it a cheerful color (not forgetting to smooth out the unevenness with sandpaper first) and fasten it to the wall with dowels. Then we attach clothes hooks at the ends of the branches. By the way, for such a tree you can use thick plywood.
Before moving on to the actual production of the hanger, we recommend that you pay attention to the master class in the video below, which will tell you how to create a creative tree-shaped hanger for your corridor:
You can also build a simpler version from chipboard. do-it-yourself hangers in the hallway, for example, a solid or lattice panel ( the simplest design wall hanger). And by taking laminated boards, we will get rid of the need to finish them. But the ends must be processed - for this purpose a special edge is sold, which is welded with an iron. And one more thing: you only need to cut laminated sheets from the inside out, otherwise they will crack.
