With a custom modern coat rack, you not only impress your guests, but also create optimal functionality. In short: a modern coat rack is indispensable in every home.

Another advantage is that a coat rack lets you perfectly emphasize the character of your home. Of course, this only works if the coat rack fittings also match your style.

So you should avoid run-of-the-mill solutions from the nearest furniture store. Instead, we recommend designing your coat rack individually yourself – with the coat rack accessories and shelving fittings from Heimwerkertools.

Wall brackets instead of floor supports: how to give your modern coat rack character

If you want your coat rack to be modern but still simple, wall brackets are a perfect solution. Especially for people who may not have much DIY experience or a large selection of tools, wall brackets are ideal for taking the first easy and uncomplicated step toward a modern coat rack.

Even if your budget is rather limited because of the rest of your furnishings or your newly completed house build, you can still use wall brackets when building your coat rack. One major advantage of this coat rack accessory is that it is so inexpensive – two brackets are often available for under 10 euros.

Which wall brackets you should choose depends on two important factors, in addition to your budget:

• What load must the brackets be able to carry?
• Which material matches the style of your home?

With heavy-duty metal brackets from Gedotec, Hebgo or Alpenstahl, you do not need to worry about the load-bearing capacity of your coat rack, because they can withstand loads of up to 500 kg!

Minimalist shelf supports make your coat rack appear to float

Even if you have never heard of shelf supports before, you are certainly familiar with this shelving accessory. If you want the shelves of your modern coat rack to come straight out of the wall without any additional support or other coat rack accessories, you need shelf supports.

Thanks to invisible mounting, shelf supports make your shelves appear to float. To withstand heavy loads, the shelf supports for your coat rack are not made from conventional metal, but from especially strong steel.

Of course, there are a few special points to observe with invisible mounting. You attach your shelf in 8 simple steps using at least two shelf supports:

1. Choose a suitable location and measure your shelf and your wall.
2. Select a shelf board with pre-drilled holes or route the holes for the shelf supports yourself.
3. Mark the correct position using a spirit level – what matters most here is the later center point of the shelf board.
4. Measure the distances between the center of the shelf and the drill holes for the shelf supports.
5. Transfer the distance between the center of the shelf board and the center of the drill holes to the marking on your wall – make sure to note the drilling distance in the product datasheet of your shelf support!
6. Now drill the corresponding holes and fit them with high-quality wall plugs.
7. Screw the shelf supports to your wall using suitable screws.
8. Carefully and evenly slide the shelf board into place – done!

With modern coat hooks in a variety of designs, creativity knows no limits

Coat hooks are without doubt the classic choice in coat rack fittings. But that does not mean they make your coat rack look any less modern. Today, you have a huge selection of different designs, materials and colors, so you are sure to find the right coat hook for your coat rack.

A modern coat rack does not always have to be elaborate. Whether made of stainless steel, metal or colorful plastic: especially in a one-person household, coat hooks are an ideal way to quickly and easily bring order to the chaos of jackets, coats and more.

In addition to being incredibly easy to mount on the wall or ceiling, this coat rack accessory also has another advantage: its low price – even from quality manufacturers such as Häfele, Gedotec and others. At such a low cost, there is no need to think twice.

Another reason why coat hooks are so popular is that their use is not limited to the entrance area. Whether in the kitchen or the bedroom: coat hooks are always the right choice.

Create a modern look in your coat rack with hook rails

If you like things simple yet modern, a coat rack made from a hook rail is the ideal solution. In principle, hook rails serve the same purpose as coat hooks. The only difference is that, as the name suggests, several hooks are combined into one rail.

If individual hooks are impractical because of too many jackets or too many people in the household, hook rails are a lifesaver for any DIY enthusiast. Simple, easy to install, space-saving and affordable: these are the many advantages of hook rails.

You decide which hook rail best suits your modern coat rack. Whether black or silver, stainless steel or steel, for a single household or a large family – with us you will find the right coat rail for your home.

Shoe racks - this accessory should not be missing from any modern coat rack

What is indispensable for the modern coat rack? Clearly: a functional shoe rack. Shoe racks not only help keep your entrance area tidier, but also keep your home cleaner at the same time.

In Heimwerkertools’ coat rack accessory range, you will not only find shoe racks for the modern coat rack. Shoe holders from Gedotec or Häfele are also organizational talents for wardrobes, dressing rooms or bedrooms.

This lets you store several pairs of sneakers or high heels quickly, easily and neatly in a space-saving way. There is no doubt that shoe racks are worthwhile for every household.

Create an extravagant and space-saving coat rack bench with folding brackets

An important criterion for a modern coat rack for many people is having a place to put on shoes comfortably. But not every apartment has room for a bench in the entrance area. What to do?

The solution is a special type of shelf supports, namely practical and sturdy folding brackets. With this coat rack fitting, you can easily build a space-saving bench. Robust folding brackets look similar to conventional wall brackets, but they have one crucial advantage: they can be folded up, so the bench takes up hardly any space in no time at all.

But a bench made with folding brackets is not only suitable for modern coat racks. It is also ideal as a practical seating option on the balcony or terrace.

In the Heimwerkertools range, we offer durable foldable heavy-duty steel brackets that can withstand loads of up to 500 kg – so you do not need to worry about the stability of your bench.

Perfectly presented: coat hangers showcase elegant coats and jackets beautifully

Many DIY enthusiasts build the wooden elements of their coat rack themselves and then complete the handcrafted parts with high-quality shelving accessories and practical coat rack fittings. The result: a unique and modern coat rack that amazes guests.

One of the most popular elements for the DIY coat rack is undoubtedly elegant coat hangers. This does not mean ordinary clothes hangers for the coat rack; quite the opposite. This metal hanger is a must for your coat rack if you want to hang expensive coats, jackets or blazers on hangers instead of simply on a hook.

Whether U-shaped or L-shaped, round or square, black or silver – you decide which coat hanger best suits your modern coat rack.

The all-rounder for modern coat racks: unusual wall coat racks

If you do not have room in your entrance area for a large coat rack, space-saving wall coat racks could be just the right solution for you. With a wall coat rack, you create an extraordinary eye-catcher in your home that your guests will remember.

However, the advantage of wall coat racks is not only their unusual look, but also their optimal functionality. This coat rack fitting offers plenty of space for your jackets and coats. Unlike a hook rail, the wall coat rack also gives you a better overview.

Thanks to the clear wall coat rack, you not only save space, but also nerves, because from now on you will find your jackets in no time at all.

It does not always have to be purely functional: stylish shelf supports for your coat rack

There are shelf supports everywhere. No matter how you want to mount your shelf, there is definitely a suitable shelf support for you.

Whether a conventional shelf support for shelves in cabinets or a stylish clamp shelf support for elegant glass shelves – at Heimwerkertools, it is our mission to offer you a wide range of different shelf supports so that you always find the right shelving accessory for your project. Of course, this applies not only to your coat rack, but also to the shelves in your bedroom wardrobes or the decorative shelves in your living room.

In the Heimwerkertools range, you will of course only find coat rack fittings from German quality manufacturers such as Gedotec or Häfele. This keeps your coat rack as beautiful and functional after years of use as it was on the first day.

Functional shelving accessories and practical coat rack fittings are the be-all and end-all of every modern coat rack. After all, the coat rack is not only the centerpiece of your entrance area.
