For example, in public places, coat racks are often 4 ft (1. 2 m) high.
If you don’t want to hang a coat rack on a wall, get some over-the-door hooks and slide them over the top edge of your bedroom door. This is a super simple way to add some hooks for hanging coats to your room!
Screw the rack into wall studs if possible. Check whether there are studs behind the wall with a stud finder. Turn it on and move it over the wall where you’re hanging the coat rack. When it beeps, there is a stud behind the drywall there. Use a level to make sure the tape measure is horizontally level across your wall before you make the marks. Otherwise, your coat rack is going to be crooked![5] X Research source Another way to mark the holes is to hold the coat rack against the wall where you want it, check that it’s level, then push a screw firmly through each screw hole into the wall to make small indentations where the screws go.
After you drill the first hole, line up the coat rack’s first hole with it and double-check that the second hole still lines up with your second mark.
For example, use heavy-duty 3M Command Strips for this. Keep in mind that this might not work if your coat rack is really heavy or if you use weak adhesive strips. Adhesive strip packaging usually states how much weight is recommended for the strips.
Get brushed nickel Command Hooks for classier coat hooks.
Feel free to turn the coat hangers in different directions to give your DIY coat rack a funky artistic look!
As an alternative to clip rings, hang S-shaped hardware hooks over the curtain rod and use them like regular coat hooks.
