Home Interior Design

The price of homes today is staggering in Manhattan residential space sells for over $1100 per square foot. This makes every square inch of your floor space extraordinarily valuable one way to help conserve floor space is by getting wall mounted coat racks. If you had a floor standing coat rack they can take up as much as 3 ft.² of floor space once more every time you mop whereas if you had peg racks everything would be off the floor.

The Shakers did not invent the peg rail I am sure since the beginning of time humans have been placing things of value on pegs. The Shakers however did evolve the peg rack into a work of art, they installed peg racks in every room of the house many times on every wall of the room and they used them to hang everything you can imagine. They use them in their dining room to hang their dining room chairs, they invented special candle holders to hang on the peg racks. The Shakers even invented cupboards that can be hung on the wooden peg rails as well as mirrors. This allowed the Shakers to get everything off from the floor it made it a lot easier for them to sweep their home and it helped keep everything neat and tidy.

Shaker peg racks are available today from several different retailers in solid hardwoods such as Oak, Cherry and Maple, they can be ordered in a variety of different stains some makers even offer them in a white lacquer finish for a clean look.

If the shaker peg rack does not meet your needs the same type of rail system has been converted over to using more modern metal hooks, these decorative coat hooks are generally available in solid brass or a brushed nickel which mimics brushed stainless steel. Any type of wall mounted coat racks will help you save space and help keep your close off from the floor. There is a need for wall mounted coat racks in every apartment. You can hang one in the restroom to hang towels, you can put one in the garage to hang your gardening tools, you can even hang in your modern to hang clothes on. Mount one in your kids room and teach them how to clean up after themselves.

There are a few manufacturers of high quality decorative coat hooks that are manufactured in the United States of America. If you are looking for a high quality coat rack that will last for many years buy one that is created from solid wood such as Cherry, and it will last for a long time.
