Also keep in mind these standard hook heights (above the floor):
Adults: 60 inches
Children: 36 inches
Wheelchair access: 42 to 48 inches
When installing individual hooks, leave about 4 to 6 inches between them (or up to a foot if you regularly hang very bulky items), and anchor them securely by drilling into a stud or using heavy-duty wall anchors.
Don’t be afraid to mix and match hook shapes or vary their heights for added interest and functionality — especially in households with children. Just stick to a consistent finish and overall design style to keep the look cohesive, and ensure that no sharp hooks are in anyone’s path of travel.
If you have enough floor space, a coat tree is a charming, freestanding and tool-free alternative to coat hooks — perfect for renters, the drill-averse and homes with brick or plaster walls. Choose one with a wide base for stability.
