If your coats are taking over your home, it’s time to think seriously about storage solutions, particularly now the weathers changing - but we also don't trust the British weather enough to fully transition to summer wardrobe just yet - so where on earth do we keep our coats?
We need to store our outerwear in a convenient location, ideally near the front door, but at the same time we don't want to turn the hallway into a dumping ground.
Check out these ideas, which range from hangers and hooks to more complete solutions, to find the perfect coat storage that works for every home and every budget...
Wall-mounted Coat Racks
From decorative to multi-functional, these racks will keep your outerwear at eye level with plenty of space below for shoes or even seating.

7 of 7MADE, Maxine Wall Shelf with Hooks, £42
Top tip: place the hooks at around 120cm above the floor – this will give enough room for long coats to hang, but will keep the wall clear above for pictures or a mirror.
