Upcycled Coat Rack

Posted 2014-03-17 by Jane Street ⇒ follow


Salvage some old coat hooks and create your own upcycled coat rack for a hallway. I used a simple piece of oak as the back plate, however you could get creative and use other reclaimed wood. How about using a piece of driftwood or a section of a vintage wooden crate?

Look out for interesting coat hooks on junk furniture. I salvaged these brass coat hooks from an old dresser unit which a neighbour was sending to the dump. You can also pick up new ‘antique style’ cast iron hooks cheaply online.

Salvaged hooks


Materials
  • Coat hooks
  • Wood screws to fit the coat hooks (shorter than the thickness of the back plate)
  • Wooden back plate with at least one flat side (to fix to the wall)
  • Screws to fix to the wall
  • Sandpaper, wood finishing oil, brass polish
  • Drill

    • Method
  • Sand down the wood as needed and rub with wood finishing oil.
  • Clean up brass hooks with brass polish.



  • Space out the hooks on to the back plate and mark where the hook screws need to go.
  • Drill small holes for the hook screws.



  • Drill several holes in the back plate for attaching to the wall. Position these behind hooks if possible to hide them, countersinking the hole if needed.
  • Attach the back plate to the wall using suitable screws.



  • Attach the coat hooks using wood screws.



    • Stand back and admire!
