DIY With The Humble Coat Hook

Here at Pick and Fix, we don't just sell kitchen handles. We also have a range of coat hooks and shelf brackets. In the past, we've talked about all the things you can create with a shelf bracket, and we think that coat hooks are just as versatile. They're deceptively simple, but you can create some seriously beautiful displays with them. In this blog post, we're going to go over a couple of ideas and can guarantee that you'll never look at hanging up your hat and coat the same ever again! 

Firstly, we have this amazing, space saving idea for your hallway. Use coat hooks to hang your shoes from when you're not wearing them! Shoe racks are bound to be a thing of the past when this trend starts to catch on. We would recommend a smaller, simpler set of hooks for this hack. Maybe our spearhead design? 

We love how this display of coat hooks looks more like an art installation than something practical - though with so many places to hang your coats, how could it be anything but practical? The creator has even balanced a plank of wood across a couple of the hooks to create a shelf. Our art deco coat hooks are angular and minimal looking, and would be perfect for recreating your own trendy coat hook display. Don't forget to use a ruler if you're going to copy this look!

Finally, how beautiful is this palette coat hook display? It doubles up as a narrow shelf for tiny photographs and ornaments. If you have some old palettes laying around, we would highly recommend making your how palette coat hook display. How perfect would a couple of our heron coat hooks look on something like this?

We hope that this blog post has been an entertaining read for you, and that it's inspired you to do some DIY! We would love to see what ideas you come up with while putting up your new coat hooks, so please send us pictures!
