Metal wall hangers in the hallway: features of choice
There can be no trifles in the interior and decoration of the home. The smallest detail can both improve your mood and dramatically spoil the overall impression. It is very important to choose wisely even such a utilitarian thing as a metal hanger.
Features and Benefits
No home can be imagined without storage space for outerwear. When people come to the dwelling, one of the first actions is changing shoes and undressing. Shoes and boots, shoes and sneakers can be left directly on the floor or on a shoe rack, the hat can be folded into a bag (bag), put on a shelf, on a table, and held in hands. But with outerwear it is not so easy to do it. Even if no one comes to you, it's still ridiculous to hang your own jackets, coats, raincoats on the backs of chairs or on the door.
Metal hangers are more convenient than closed cabinets. Moisture does not accumulate in them, and hanging clothes dry faster. If the area of the apartment is small, the wall arrangement is much better: it takes up less usable space. Metal structures are always heavier than plastic and wood structures, so do not forget about reliable fastening. The number of hooks can be customized to suit your needs.
Wall structures, which is important, are capable of withstanding significant loads. They will not require additional care. There is only one drawback, which is the reverse side of the advantages - such a hanger cannot be moved to another place. Carefully select the area where it will be attached!
Iron hangers are attached to screws and glue. There are even varieties that hold on to suction cups or magnets, although they are inferior to the "classics" in terms of reliability. The hanger should only be glued onto a perfectly smooth and level surface such as tiles.
Varieties
The simplest type is a plank with a vertical or horizontal row of hooks. More advanced options are equipped with mirrors, shelves for additional accessories, and sometimes shoe racks. Some versions are equipped with hangers instead of hooks. This solution is safer for clothing.
The hanger, complemented by a cabinet, can also be made in different ways. In some modifications, the upper part and the curbstone are inseparable from each other, while in others the wall part and the cabinet are independent elements. Some models differ in the form of complementary shoe racks (completely open or equipped with a facade). Mirrors can be placed:
- on the side;
- in the middle of the model;
- on the door of the cabinet provided by the design.
The shape of the mirror surface does not have to be traditional. Lamps are often installed next to it. They also try to diversify the view of the shelf. The main formats are monolithic panel and lattice.
Design
The use of clothes hangers along with a colored or carved border enhances their visual appeal. The rectangular version is considered classic, but you can also safely choose an oval and other exotic configuration. When the room is made in the spirit of hi-tech or art deco, the all-metal panel with holders of atypical geometric shapes looks very good. The original idea is to design them in the form of an animal figure. If this idea does not suit you, you can choose any design with a minimum of decor and a simple shape.
The developers did not stop at such obvious options. There are also much more original solutions:
- panel with screw-in dowels (their location can be changed);
- imitation of door handles;
- hooks in the shape of an airplane.
Iron wrought iron hangers are always elite and exquisite. They are often made to order. The cost of such solutions is very high, but the feeling of exclusive aesthetics will not let go of the owner for many years. Wall panels are not always solid. In many cases, those that are divided into several parts look more beautiful.
The use of models with mirrors is an excellent solution for small apartments and houses, helping to visually expand the corridor and make it a little brighter.
A hallway in the spirit of minimalism will be damaged stylistically if you put in it a hanger with decorative wrought iron and floral motifs. It will be local to use straight contour designs. The approach is similar for loft-style hallways. Baroque furnishings are a different matter. Here you should definitely choose the most luxurious and elegant options.
Forging looks good against a country background, and if you are an adherent of modernism, you need to take designs with rounded smooth lines. Such solutions are beautiful and aesthetically complete. A wide variety of decorative elements can be used in a modernist environment. The industrial style is favorably emphasized by products that imitate water pipes. You can also beat it with the holders in the form of a wrench. Individual designers experiment not only with the basic structure, but also with hooks, giving them the most intricate look. You can find products with "balls", "twigs", "leaves".
Colour
In a classic interior and in a semi-antique room, you need to use black or brown furniture. A simple metal hanger will ideally fit into a hi-tech style, even if it is bright in color, gold or chrome. It is important to consider that white tones, although they refresh the room, are not too much in demand. In addition to brightening the space, white light is attractive:
- original play of reflections;
- appropriateness in a variety of interiors;
- harmonious combination with any colors and textures of surrounding materials, furniture (with rare exceptions).
How to choose?
All other things being equal, the presence of a shelf for hats, a separate shelf for phones, gloves and watches is a very convenient and practical solution. If there are children in the house, it is worth taking only those hangers, the holders of which are located at different heights. Having a back support panel is very good - clothes will not smudge against the wall and will not get dirty. Always try to choose models that have more hooks than your family members.
In small rooms, it makes sense to put corner hangers, since they are much more compact than usual and take up a minimum of usable space. Structures, supplemented by pedestals, on which it is easy to fold small objects and hats (so as not to stretch upward), show themselves quite well.
Please note if all hooks will be strong before purchasing. They should not bend or deviate to the side, no matter how hard they are pulled.
Make sure the mounts are secure enough and are installed in at least three locations. The hooks themselves, unlike the panel, should not be aluminum - this metal is extremely fragile. Vertically oriented structures allow the ceiling to be raised externally, while horizontal structures are more compact. Decide for yourself which of these considerations is more important to you.
When choosing a metal hanger, it is undesirable to take options with massive hook tips.
Hanging clothes on them, and then taking them off, is very difficult, especially if thin and narrow loops are sewn. Rounded corners on all parts are welcome, they are much safer than straight ones.
