What type of hall tree/hat rack would you put in a log cabin mud room?

Question

The entry has a blank wall that I want to put coat hooks on.  I want it to be rustic but nice, not pine colored - I need a contrast.  Any suggestions out there in home creativity land?

There is a lot of wood! Can't go wrong with black wrought iron hooks as you have this on your hinges. Might be able to add shelves with wrought iron braces for shoes/hats, or a small baker's rack, a hanging pot with artificial ivy, a stool.

Susan Cryor · Answer

Hubby built me a bench, with a shelf over for hats and I used antique hooks for coats etc.  I will find photo, but would be perfect for you

I can see  a deer antler floor stand..

Carol · Answer

How about a chalkboard with shelf and hooks included? Paint an old picture frame a bright color (love the walls but need contrasting color), frame a chalkboard (painted plywood), could include a piece of cork for notes or use magnet paint. Add some hooks, shelves, baskets around the chalkboard and you have filled up your space.

Le' · Answer

Love all the wood...but for me the room lacks color. How 'bout some colorful, playful metal signs over your doors with a small bench with fabric to pick up the colors in the signs. Love the idea of a chalkboard from Carol and add a colorful small trash bin.

Le' · Answer

Also, you might want to add a few (colorful) of your collections to the top of the cabinets.

Teresa · Answer

Oh, boy.  This brings back nightmares.  We survived in our log home for about 6 months with solid wood all the way around like this room.  I am not kidding.  I reached a point where I felt like a termite in a straight jacket, in no time at all!  You will drive yourself nuts if you don't put color in there!!  Whatever you decide... make sure it has COLOR!!

Gee.....if you can't say something nice.....

Sharon La Tour · Answer

I agree with black iron , shelves and coat rack! That would look awseome

Katherine McWright · Answer

I see deer antlers,,you could also add a deer antler light fixture

Robin Burns · Answer

I also agree with the black iron which would fit with your door hinges. I have a cedar cottage myself and have also been looking for something in the wrought iron. There were some great suggestions here but I know myself I am looking for something a little different/funky. I also like to have hooks at the top and about half way down the centre pole for those shorter coats and when we have lots to hang up for larger groups.

Melinda Columbus · Answer

Stone or painted/color stain wood

Kim 'Kiewatt' Waknitz · Answer

Love the way this room looks, I like natural look. How about a real dried tree branch on the wall, it could be painted black. Or mount horseshoes to a broad to hang thing on. Guess I'm a termite because I would love to have this look in my home. Lol

Elizabeth Platt · Answer

Old horse shoes, leave them rustic or paint them black, you would have to get someone to tack them together for you, it would take two for one hanger, hope this makes scenes. Good Luck! I have also seen this used as a gun rack

Joanna Carrisal · Answer

Get you a piece of metal grate.  6' x 3' and 7 railroad tie spikes.  Take it to a local welder and have him weld the spikes to the grate and frame in with 1' angle iron.  Hang it and enjoy the natural rustic beauty of the metal.

Harlan Hays · Answer

Put a moose head on the wall.

Robin Machado · Answer

A bench or chair with the back and legs cut down to sit down and take boots off even a nice round of wood to sit on works, a boot hanger, Someway to allow the boots to dry in the wet seasons, Storage for slippers and such also, Plus a bright color to paint the coat drying rack I would need in my neck of the world to counter act all the dull days we have. A lamp on the counter with a bear or cowboy theme to act as a night light for those light night returns from the barn or outbuildings. Even lights under the counter would jazz up the look of the location. Something like a sign saying something about lost socks over the dryer, rugs to catch the snow, rain, and MUD tracked in also to define the washing area. A basket on the counter with each member name from the family for gloves. Hat rack do they were baseball caps or cowboy hats? Pick a hat rack that works for your needs our local farm store has some nice ones. I love the idea of the iron fence with the spikes to hang coats and such. I like to hang my dresses up as they come out of the dryer so I like a small something to place those items.

Myrna Engle · Answer

All mud rooms have the same needs to function, but in this case all the add ins should out class the wall. Something to catch your eye before the wood. Then you will appreciate the tremendous wood second. I would not go with todays mingle of garish color. Just do two and another smaller accent. Basic black on large items and maybe aqua as added interest and bits of red and gray. Do you see it ?

Brenda Webster · Answer

Black like the hinges.

Doris · Answer

Mounted 1920's black porcelain door handles as coat hooks..

Kelly S · Answer

wrought iron or welded horse shoe rack. If you love and want to keep it pure just let it rust a bit then clear coat it, otherwise jazz it up with funky bright colors.

Colleen · Answer

Since you live in TX, I would suggest the Texas ranch style. Hang a Black Star on the wall with a simple board with black hooks for coats, along with a shelf above for those big Texas hats,and a simple sitting bench (add a boot scrapper and boot stand). For some color place a multi-colored stripe rug in the center. Use some old barb wire in a wreath (or what ever shape). Maybe find some antique spurs to hang beside the star.
Good luck with your design, and post the results.

Carole Alden · Answer
