It is impossible to imagine a single hallway, whether in an apartment or in a large cottage, without a coat rack. This irreplaceable detail in the interior allows you to not only compactly place things (jackets, coats, hats and umbrellas), but to add a highlight to the room, emphasizing the intended style and design. To do this, you need to select the original instances of this hardware. But what clothes hangers are there? Wooden floor structures are the most popular among all the others. What is their advantage? What home-made hangers can I make?
Story
The very first hangers in the world appeared in the 16th century in France and were mainly used for hanging military and church uniforms. The design of these products was as simple as possible: two narrow boards fastened together by a rope or a metal rod in the middle, as if repeating the shape of a cross. On top there was a loop for hanging on different bars sticking out of the walls.
Naturally, over time, the shape of the clothes hanger with and without shoulders changed, and today you can meet an unimaginable number of models and instances of this part in the interior. Of particular popularity at all times were wooden clothes hangers. Floor constructions of this type were easily and quickly assembled, as they had a very simple basis: three separate bars of the tripod type were attached to one bar from the bottom. As you know, it is through three points that one plane can be drawn, and this design is considered the most reliable, since it is stable even on the most uneven floors.
Hangers today
Today you can meet absolutely any futuristic form of a wooden coat hanger. Floor constructions can take on any appearance: a stylized tree, a street lamp, an alien monster or a classic pillar with branches torn from above, on which you can hang any wardrobe items - a coat, hat, umbrella, handbag.
Naturally, today you can buy a lot for the interior in a specialized store. But for those who value exclusive designer items, they should do or order wooden hangers for clothes from professional joiners. Floor options for this part in the interior can have any height from 1.2 m to 1.7 m, so that every guest and resident of the house can reach the hinges and hang things of any shape and length on them and it is also convenient to remove them.
But a designer or exclusive design for hanging things can be expensive in stores, so a more economical option would be a home - made hanger rack. For clothes, a floor wooden product is the most profitable option, since a minimum of materials is used and it takes not so much time to create them.
Everything for the hanger
If you choose the second option and decide to make a product yourself, then for this you will need tools such as:
- Phillips screwdriver
- hacksaw;
- sandpaper;
- self-tapping screws of different lengths and thicknesses;
- drills (set);
- drill;
- ax.
Other materials will also be required:
- dried wood (cherry, sea buckthorn, etc.) - it is better to purchase finished processed blanks;
- massive bars not less than 60 cm;
- wood glue;
- for hooks you will need a metal wire, if there is no desire to tinker with their forms, then it is better to choose immediately finished decorative hooks;
- a piece of silicone with a thickness of not more than 3 mm.
DIY hanger
The first thing you need to do is the base, which will have a wooden clothes hanger floor. It’s easy to make it yourself - you need to fasten the base and the tripod. To do this, you need to put the trunk on a flat floor strictly perpendicularly, and the remaining bars (having a cut angle of 45 degrees) fasten with screws to the trunk. The bars at the base should be strong and significantly more powerful than the brackets located on the opposite side for hanging clothes.
Product Finish
When everything is done, it remains to decorate the homemade product. A white floor hanger for clothes will look very stylish and organic. A wooden texture will be visible, and this will create an aesthetic appearance.
But you can come up with other original models of such details in the interior. If you take 8 long bars of 3x3 cm and twist them in the center so that the base takes the form of a circle, you get a very original hanger. It can only be used for hanging short clothes (sweaters, sweaters, jackets, hats and umbrellas).
No less popular can be a floor hanger for clothes with a coat hanger. The wooden structure will be more complex, and the construction of such a home-made product will take much more time and effort. This type of furniture usually combines a baroque or rococo style and is perfect for interiors with such a design.
The value of hangers in the house
The use of this design in the modern world is simply necessary. All this is because fashion dictates its features - you need smooth clothes without wrinkled folds. You cannot do without such furniture, because we cannot come in a wet coat and hang it in the dressing room.
Firstly, it will stain neighboring things, and secondly, it will not dry out. In this case, it is the floor hanger that will be the perfect option. Or another situation: a lot of guests arrived at the house, and hanging jackets, sweaters and other things in wardrobes is simply inconvenient. It is the floor hanger with or without hangers that will become a real salvation. Thus, the importance of this furniture in the interior of any house is great, but buying it in a finished version or doing it by hand is an individual decision of each owner of the house or apartment.
