34. Coat Rack
If you live in an apartment, your landlord may not allow you to put nails in the wall for a coat hanger. A great solution is to get a coat rack. These cost anywhere from $20 to $50, depending on where you buy them and what material you choose. While a row of hooks is a simpler option, those too have to be mounted to the wall and often require screws or nails, so a coat rack is the one free-standing option you have to store coats without potentially damaging walls. Coat racks are available in styles from minimalist to eclectic, so you should be able to find a coat rack that tickles your fancy no matter the style.
If you enjoy vintage items, vintage coat racks can often be found in a wide range of styles at yard sales, thrift shops, and estate sales and aren’t popular anymore, so they are often quite affordable. Old coat racks can have truly unique decorations and are well built and made to last, so they are an excellent investment if you like the look of coat racks and want something long-term that can move with you. Many coat racks also come with spokes that allow you to store hats and gloves, which can keep you organized all winter long.
