Pay attention to the material
Hangers can be made from both natural and artificial materials. But the leaders in this segment are still wood and metal – versatile, practical solutions that can be used in almost any interior.

Wooden hangers harmoniously fit into the hallway, decorated in the following styles: classic, provence, country, Scandinavian and ecl. They are perfectly combined with natural materials – stone, clapboard, parquet board or their high-precision imitation in modern finishing materials such as laminate and agglomerate.

Wood itself does not determine the design of the product – it can be both classic designs with rows of hooks, or richly decorated carved forms or minimalistic solutions from «unprocessed» or artificially aged boards. Wooden hangers also differ in design – there are bulky and very light models.

Advantages of wall structures
A wall hanger is, first of all, compactness and convenient location. After all, it is attached to the wall, adjoins it closely and does not take up space on the floor.

Among the common models of this type are noted:
- with hooks in one row;
- with fittings in several rows – multi-tiered products are more spacious, since the upper row can be used for a wardrobe, and the lower one can be used for children’s things or bags;

Floor models of hangers
The floor hanger requires more free space in the hallway. They can be placed in a corner or along one of the walls and represent a tripod extended upwards with hooks located in a circle. Several hooks for umbrellas or bags can also be provided at the bottom.

For such models, wood and metal are most often used. They can be equipped with wheels for moving around the room, and for stability, the lower base is additionally strengthened.
Combined solutions
Combined solutions are considered more functional – for example, a hanger with a curbstone. The hanger itself here is a wooden or forged panel with hooks and an upper shelf, and at the bottom, a stand serves as a support for storing shoes. This is an ideal solution for hallways, regardless of their area, as it allows you to remove all unnecessary items from the floor in the lower cabinet.
Wall + floor structures
Often, banquets are also added to the structures of hangers – they are very convenient to put on shoes on. There are also models in which the actual hanger is combined with a mirror – this is most often an open element of the headset in the form of a combined wall surface.
Hangers in one design with shoe drawers
Hangers in the hallway can also be built into the closet – this is a fairly large solution that requires free space. There are also ceiling structures (they must be attached to a concrete slab) – such products are not designed for heavy loads and cannot be combined with suspended or suspended ceilings. Folding portable products are also used – they «waiting in the wings» in the pantry and are used only when guests come to you.
