One of the first things a person does when entering their home is put their coats, bags and hats somewhere; to make a good first impression for guests, one of these unconventional clothing racks will do just the trick. Considering that homes are getting smaller and smaller, it is only natural that designers would concentrate on such details.
From coat hangers that resemble wall art to garment racks that take on the shape of a house, these unconventional clothing racks are becoming artistic pieces in the home so as to take up space in a visually pleasing way. Whether used by the entrance or in bedrooms, they ensure that people are capitalizing on the furniture design in more ways that one. Focusing on form and function has never been more fun.
