No home should be without one and they are versatile and easy to make

Whether it’s for practical use or a focal point, every home should have a coat rack or hat stand. If a free-standing unit has no appeal, try making one to mount against the wall. Then hang some hearts, crosses or even granddad’s old hat to add your personal style to it. They can be used everywhere from entrance halls and passages, to bedrooms and bathrooms. In the bedroom you can use it as a display item by festooning it with jewellery and beads or showing off your collection of scarves or hats.
