While many people enjoy homes that have
a modern design, other people prefer to live in rustic
splendor. Despite what many people believe, rustic does not
mean worn out and old fashioned, in fact there are many rustic
homes that are a combination of warmth, imagination and their
own style of sophistication. One item of furniture that can
enhance your rustic décor while being functional is the rustic
coat rack.
Rustic coat racks come in a variety of styles and looks. There
are free standing rustic coat racks which are sometimes called
hall trees, wall mounted racks and coat racks that combine
benches, mirrors and shelves for a more unique look. Here is
just a small sample of some of the different types or rustic
coat racks you can find.
The Free Standing Rustic Coat Rack
The free standing rustic coat rack can be used
in an entry way or mud room or laundry room. Free standing
racks come in a variety of designs from those that are little
more than a tall wooden log of cedar or other wood with wooden
pegs to hang coats on, to beautiful carved designs with iron
hooks. Some look like totem poles, some are carved into animal
shapes such as bears and still others are simply carved wooden
poles with satin finishes and delicate curves.
Wall Coat Racks
Wall hanging coat racks can be something
as simple as a plank with hooks but are often oars, horse
shoes, deer heads, bears, deer, cowboy silhouettes or
silhouettes of mountains, trees, flowers and fields. This type
of rustic coat rack not only serves as a place to hang your
purse or coat, but also as wall art as well.
Perhaps some of the most beautiful of the rustic racks for
the wall are those with etched mirrors depicting beautiful
etching done right in the glass and adding sophistication to
your rustic décor. There are also coat racks that are shelves
with pegs for hanging coats on the other side that are
attractive as well.
Bench Coat Racks
One of the most functional of all the rustic
coat racks is the bench coat rack, these pieces of furniture
offer you a place to hang your coat, to sit to take off your
boots and often a storage space under the bench seat which
provides extra storage space for those odds and ends. These
racks look great in entryways or bedrooms adding old fashion
charm to whatever room they are in.
Who says your rustic décor has to be simple and old fashioned?
With the right choice of rustic furniture and your own sense of
style your rustic home can be both warm and sophisticated and a
rustic coat rack can help create just the right style for
you.
