I believe strongly in the idea that making an organized space pretty motivates you to keep it organized, so when I tackled a major coat closet makeover recently, I decided to add a few pretty DIY details, including some cheerful painted hangers.
Wood hangers make a great choice for a coat closet because they are super sturdy for heavy coats and jackets. I invested in a set of wooden hangers when we first moved into our home, and they've held up great. So much better than the the hodgepodge of wire and plastic hangers that I used to use, which often wound up bent or broken under the weight of our coats.
It only took me about 5 minutes to paint the hangers... but one word of warning, painting hangers at dusk on your front lawn will get you weird looks from neighbors and dog walkers!

Great idea!! I think I may have a few wooden hangers, enough to try this. Since most of my guests are older, I leave complimentary depends in the bathroom, with extra wipes. Also.....for grand babies, pampers and wipes. You'd be surprised HOW much appreciation these are.

Have a question about this project?
Any chance of the paint coming off on the clothes?
Great idea! Having color helps to identify. I used a different color for each child. No more asking Is this mine?
I'm curious, I have limited closet space and couldn't use those hangers. I'm wondering how many can? I use the slim, flocked velv et ones that are great. Clothes stay on them quite well. I do love how you used the turquoise paint on the wooden hangers. It would be fun to use them.
