Wooden Coat Racks at Home
In the upcoming cold seasons, a coat is the best friend we can rely on to keep us warm all through put the day or night whenever we have to go outside to go to work, go to the grocery, or shop for holiday presents.
In order to keep our precious coats in good condition all through out the season, the coats should always be free from moisture and dirt, and it is necessary to keep these coats somewhere with heat and open air to avoid the build up of nasty mold. Storing coats in closets is a big mistake, and letting coats lie around furniture, floor, or stair handrails will make your home a clutter disaster.
The best option for any homeowner is by using coat racks, wooden coat racks to be exact. Why wood? Wood is sturdy, reliable, durable, and can almost last forever.
Wooden coat racks would beautifully accent homes with traditional and classical styling. Wood furniture on its own adds a detail of warmth and nostalgia to any home. However, wooden coat racks would not have the same aesthetic appeal when it comes to homes with a rather modern and contemporary styling.
Modern homes tend to be simplistic, colorful, and playful as opposed to a more conservative, and composed classic home. Modern styling also are a lot more inclined to rather alternative materials like concrete, plastic, and a lot of steel. But modernist architecture does not limit itself from not utilizing the sheer beauty and durability of wood. Modern styling adds twists to classical wooden coat racks that transcend classical to modern. Listed below are the 5 of the best wooden coat racks for your home, whether it has a rustic and classical, or playful and modern appeal.

2. Adesso Contour Wooden Standing Coat Rack
This particular contoured piece will make you think twice if what you are looking at is actually wood. It actually is wood. The unique contour feature that seemingly can only be done using steel, can be done using treated bentwood. Bentwood is a process that involves steaming wood, bending it to the desired shape, and letting it harden to maintain that shape. This technique has been popularized in the 19th Century and is still a popular furniture style today.
The clean and smooth Scandinavian styled bentwood rods are beautifully contrasted by three satin steel pegs. The bowed wood legs are slightly broader than the top for stability. The sheer simplicity of the Adesso Contour imposes modernist undertones despite its classical styling.

3. Parker Hat and Coat Stand
The Parker Hat and Coat Stand combines the two prominent design features of the former – bentwood and fluted woodwork.
The Parker wooden coat rack is made from rubberwood – a relative new-comer in the wood industry. Rubberwood is considered as an environmentally friendly wood, as it is currently abundant and highly sustainable. Rubberwood is known to be a relatively flexible kind of wood (hence the name, rubberwood), as it can easily warp. This characteristic of the wood is what makes the Parker Hat and Coat Stand stand out, as the beautiful bentwood technique is exemplified in the bowed wood legs that provide superb stability. The bentwood handiwork is accentuated by beautiful fluted carvings and an equally gorgeous walnut finish that adds warmth to any entryway or living space. This wooden hat and coat rack can hold at least four coats and four hats, plus it can also hold your umbrellas too.
The Parker Hat and Coat Stand is priced at $171.
