Coat Racks + Umbrella Stands

Having a modern coat rack is a great way to greet visitors with good design. A mid century modern coat rack that continues to be relevant today is the Eames Hang-It-All, a playful take on storage hooks with a range of color options. The Hang-It-All is a modern wall mounted coat rack that works well in an entryway or mudroom and offers a cheerful greeting. Another handy storage piece for entryways or coat rooms is a modern umbrella stand, and a variety of them are offered at Design Within Reach. They help keep inherently unwieldy umbrellas under control. If you have the space, modern entryway storage furniture goes a long way toward taming the clutter of boots, sneakers, mittens, and hats that tend to collect in entryways. A credenza, console, or even an armoire can help keep everything in its place. A small narrow table is also an option in an entryway, to hold a tray for keys, possibly, or a decorative centerpiece to welcome visitors.

Types of modern entryway storage

A coat rack with storage serves as two entryway solutions at once: a place to hang coats and a place to keep mittens, hats, and gloves. Umbrella storage is important for organization in the entryway and can be managed with a wall hook if not an umbrella stand. DWR offers a variety of modern wall hooks. Shoes are another troublesome matter for entryways. A modern entryway bench with storage also serves as two solutions at once: a place to sit to slip on shoes and a place to store them out of sight. Modern entryway shoe storage can be handled in other ways as well. Dedicated shoe racks offered at DWR provide a place for shoes of many sizes and even boots to be kept in one place for easy access. A modern entryway coat rack with storage is another useful piece. It could take the form of an open shelf above a coat rack bar or something more refined, like an armoire, which is typically fitted with shelves and drawers in addition to a coat rack.
