Coat racks are very important, especially in the cold season. Your coats are usually within easy reach whenever the cold gets too much. They are also very convenient when you get home tired. All you have to do is hang your coat on the coat rack, rather than throw it in some corner where it will get crumpled up and difficult to clean. Luckily enough, constructing your own coat rack is pretty easy. There is no need to get an expensive professional to construct the racks when you can do so yourself. Here are some easy and important tips on building pretty and customised coat racks all by yourself:

Wooden rack with nails for hanging clothes
Nails

A simple choice for a coat rack is hitting nails on a horizontal piece of wood. The nails should partially protrude above the wood to allow for hanging, but be nailed in the wood and wall firmly enough so that the rack does not fall off.
