Gimme Five! Coat hooks

Selection of five coat hooks

One by one, all our winter coats are coming back out of storage. The ones for when it’s windy, the ones for when it’s wet, the ones for when it’s cold… the dog-walking coats, the dressed-up-and-going-out coats.

All those coats are hanging – 3 deep – on the back of the porch door. It looks untidy – what we need are some sturdy, attractive coat hooks. We like multi-peg examples, so have chosen a small selection in contemporary, vintage industrial and mid century modern styles. We chose a couple with the atomic ball detailing because it’s a bit of a classic look – and whilst we really love the original Eames model, we also thought we should offer a slightly more affordable version too, so a similar look could be achieved on a smaller budget.
