“The theater begins with a hanger,” Stanislavsky’s saying is relevant not only for the temple of Melpomene, but also for any room. When entering a home or office, there is a natural desire to take off your outerwear. Therefore, establishments equip dressing rooms, and in houses and apartments, floor hangers for clothes help cope with this task. This accessory can have different shapes and differ in functionality. This material is devoted to these issues.
You can choose a floor hanger to suit any interior style, for any type of clothing and accessories
Types of floor hangers and their location
Floor hangers can be divided into several categories according to their design characteristics:
- for outerwear;
These standing hangers are most often seen near doors. - racks for hanging hangers;
- suit, for shirts, trousers;
- hanging chairs.
Some types of floor hangers are placed in certain rooms. For example, hangers for outerwear are placed in the hallway near the door. This is convenient: you can immediately get rid of clothes. A floor hanger with hangers is more versatile. Such products can be placed in the hallway, in the dressing room, even in the nursery or bedroom. They accommodate a large amount of clothing and can replace a wardrobe.
Hanging racks are good in bedrooms and dressing rooms or in those rooms that replace them
Standing hangers for suits, shirts and trousers are most often “registered” in bedrooms or children’s rooms (if the child is a schoolchild). This is where we usually dress before leaving the house. Hanging chairs are also placed there. This is, in fact, one of the options for costume hangers. The legs and supports simply took the shape of the seat.
The barbell is not only a sports equipment
A Mulig rod is a hanger that is attached to the wall using self-tapping screws or dowels. The rod is made of durable steel coated with polyester powder. The size of the rod is adjustable from 60 to 90 centimeters. This hanger is convenient to use in rooms where there are frequent changes in temperature, for example in the bathroom or on the balcony. However, the bar, thanks to its noble white color, will easily fit into the modern interior of the room. Photos of hangers from Ikea will easily convince you of this.

What materials are they made from?
A floor hanger is most often made of metal or wood. Both of these materials are strong, ductile, durable and relatively inexpensive. Some parts - plugs, parts of hooks - can be made of plastic.
Most often you can see floor hangers made of metal and wood
Plastic inserts are more often found on lower cost metal hangers. If the elements of the supporting structure are not made of plastic, this is not bad and you can buy such floor hangers without hesitation. If the elements of the supporting structure are made of plastic, it is better to look for another model.
Metal hangers
The largest selection of metal floor hangers. They are usually made from thin-walled round or square pipes. The metal used most often is black, coated with a protective coating. This can be paint (most often powder coating), nickel plating, chrome plating. In recent years, a new protective coating has appeared - plastic film (PVA). This is also a good option, since the film is impermeable to moisture and air. Such products are easy to care for, since the surface is smooth and without pores.
Several models of metal floor hangers
If the floor hanger will be used to place heavy winter clothes, when choosing, pay attention to the thickness of the metal. The minimum in this case is 1 mm. If the thickness of the pipe wall is not indicated in the product description, most likely the wall is very thin and suitable for light clothing. Indirect signs that will confirm your guesses are the weight of the product and the price.
Wooden
Wooden hangers can be carved from solid wood, or they can be prefabricated. The first option is much more expensive. Prefabricated ones are 2-3 times cheaper, but do not differ too much in appearance. The presence of joints in products of normal quality is hardly noticeable, so if you have a limited budget, it is quite possible to purchase economy class products.
There are different types of wooden floor hangers
Wooden floor hangers are well sanded and covered with a protective coating. Usually varnish or oil is used. The varnish creates a protective film on the surface, making it easy to care for such products. Wood oils do not create a protective film, but they protect no worse. When treated with oil, the structure of the wood is clearly visible - all the fibers, the pattern.
Standing clothes hangers in the hallway
Floor hangers for outerwear in the hallway most often consist of a rod on which hooks for clothes of different lengths and shapes are mounted in a circular pattern at different heights. For stability, the structure is equipped with a round (rarely square) weighted base. They can be made of wood or metal.
The height of the floor stand is 150 cm and above, and the base is a circle with a diameter of 35-45 cm. In order for the hanger to be stable, you need to pay attention to the fact that the lower part is weighted. And all the same, such designs require careful attention: clothes must be hung evenly. Otherwise the hanger may fall.
Floor-standing clothes hanger in the hallway: the most popular models
There are floor hangers for outerwear of this type, but made differently. Several pipes or metal strips are bent with a certain radius. In this case, the upper part is smaller than the lower part. This design is more stable, but requires more space, which is not always possible in a small hallway.
Wall classics
Ikea offers a classic version of a hanger for the Todalen hallway. A wall panel with hooks will not take up much space, will fit into any interior, is convenient and easy to use. The Ikea wall hanger has several colors and is made of chipboard coated with melamine film. Chrome plated zinc wall panel hooks are durable. The hanger is attached to the wall using screws or self-tapping screws. As a result, you get a comfortable, reliable classic. A nice bonus of the hanger is a shelf for hats. Ikea hallway hangers are of high quality.
Racks for clothes hangers
A hanger rack for clothes on hangers is a convenient thing if there is not enough space in the closets. They consist of a rectangular base, one or two cross-bar pipes, on which hangers with clothes are hung.
A floor hanger for clothes on hangers is also called a stand-up hanger
Rack hangers are made of metal and wood. There are metal ones made from pipes, and there are forged ones. Some models of metal clothing racks have adjustable heights. For long clothes, their stand can be raised higher. The maximum height is 150 cm. For short clothes, you can place it at a height of 80-90 cm. This is the minimum height, and there are also intermediate positions.
Several types of clothing racks on trempels
In some cases, a floor hanger on wheels is useful. It is easy to move from place to place without removing the hanging clothes. There are children's models of floor hangers of this type. They differ only in height and more “cheerful” colors. Children's floor hangers can also be made of plastic. Children's clothing does not weigh that much, so the strength of plastic is more than enough. And in terms of price, plastic floor hangers are the most inexpensive.
Folding models - a solution for entertaining guests
For those who receive large numbers of guests, it can be problematic to place their outerwear. For such cases, there is a folding rack for hangers for outerwear. When folded, it takes up very little space and can be stored in the pantry.
Wardrobe or dressing room dimensions
No matter how wonderful the hangers you purchased are, if there are a lot of them and they hang “nose to nose”, this is not good for clothes. Wardrobe items placed in this way do not breathe at all, wrinkle and are a breeding ground for voracious moths. The number of hangers should be commensurate with the space provided for them, and their width with the depth of the cabinet. For a large number of hangers with clothes, it is necessary to allocate an appropriate storage space.
When choosing clothes hangers, we recommend that you listen to the voice of reason, sense of style and our sincere advice. We wish you successful purchases and many years of health to your clothes!
Floor hanger for suit
The problem of storing a business suit is easily solved by purchasing a special floor hanger. It is somewhat similar to racks, only with special hangers for a jacket and a crossbar for trousers.
Floor hanger for suit storage
There are suit stands made of wood, metal and plastic. Plastic in this case is not bad: a large load is not expected, so the strength of modern plastics is more than enough.
If we talk about useful options, this is a shelf or a box. It is convenient to store business small items in it: glasses, cufflinks, wallet, car keys, etc.
Different models of standing suit hangers
Floor hangers for suits are usually placed in the bedroom, in the dressing room. It may be convenient to have such a device in your office. There are different models, you can choose them to suit any interior style. And some options look like designer jewelry themselves.
Tips for choosing
Choosing a hanger for the bedroom is not easy, as you need to take into account many different indicators.
Everything must be taken into account: the color scheme and style direction of the interior, the type of construction, as well as the material from which the hanger is made.
Both the appearance of the structure and its performance characteristics depend on these parameters.
A thing you create with your own hands is pleasing to the eye and causes pride, but it is better to purchase a guaranteed reliable hanger for the bedroom in a specialized store - a wide range of models allows you to choose a design of any type, color palette and size.
Hanger-chair and hanger-bedside table
There are quite unusual models of hangers. They are combined with pieces of furniture. For example, there is a hanger-chair. The models are different: with a hanger for a suit, just a hanger bar or with a rack for outerwear. For small apartments this is a very good option. It takes up the same amount of space as a regular chair or banquette, and also serves to store clothes.
Floor hanger with chair and bedside table - for full use of the hallway space
Another option: a bedside table with a hanger. The bottom half of this floor rack is much heavier than the top half, so it won't tip over if you hang a couple of coats. The second advantage of such furniture is the optimal use of space. The problem with all floor hangers is that the bottom 50-60 cm remain unused. This is not the case with the bedside table hanger. This is another good way to rationally use space for small hallways.
How to choose?
The choice of a floor clothes hanger depends on many factors. First of all, you need to decide how many things are supposed to be placed on it and which ones. For example, for a heavy outer wardrobe, you need to choose a durable and stable structure made of material that is not afraid of moisture. These hangers are made of stainless steel or wood coated with moisture-resistant impregnation. If the hanger is designed to store a suit, it should have foam bars, and special additional hooks for a skirt.
It is important to take into account the number of family members - if one or two people live in an apartment, you can choose a compact option, and for a large family - a more spacious one. If the house is visited quite often by guests, you can choose a couple of designs.
When choosing, the location of the floor hanger also matters - in the hallway, as a rule, a massive one is installed, but in a room (bedroom, nursery, bathroom) it is better to limit yourself to a lightweight design.
In addition to spaciousness, the appearance of the hanger is also important. It should be in harmony with the surrounding interior, although, made in a non-standard form or bright color palette, it may well become an accent element.
