Coat Hooks & Towel Racks

As you step into my apartment you will generally find a coat lying on the floor or on an Ikea chair that we placed there when I was pregnant so that I could sit on it and tie up my shoe laces! I have had a Vitra Eames "Hang It All" Wall Rack for a few years now but I'm not so keen to drill into the walls of our rented apartment.

In a beach house a row of coat hooks in the entrance would work really well as you could hang your beach bags, hats and towels on there as you came in, keeping them off the ground. Using a paddle below adds a nice beachy feel.

I like the size of these hooks allowing plenty of room for bulkier items.

A piece of driftwood makes an elegant simple base for some hooks.

A bench placed under a coat rack is handy and can be used for extra storage.

This is an easy DIY towel rack if you can find the right piece of driftwood!

Basic yet stylish solutions for poolside and the outdoor shower.
