How to Choose a Decorative Wall Hook
A decorative hook is chosen first for its look, but the practical details still matter. Check the size in the product's dimensions table, the material and finish, and whether fixings are supplied.
Pick a theme for the room
Crowns and spearheads suit period homes and darker hallways. Animal and garden designs work well in boot rooms, by the back door or in a garden room. Novelty hooks, such as the moustache or the flying pig, add a touch of humour to a study or a child's room.
Mix or match
Most of our decorative hooks are sold individually, so you can hang one design in a row of three, or mix several designs along one wall. Space hooks about 15 to 20 cm apart so coats do not overlap.
Check the finish
Rustic brown, antique bronze, black and gold finishes each give a different feel. Rustic and antique finishes are uneven by design, so each hook looks slightly different.
Decorative Wall Hooks: Questions

Yes, with cavity fixings suited to plasterboard. Our guide explains how: How to Fix a Coat Rack to Plasterboard.
At what height should I hang them?
For adults, around 150 to 170 cm from the floor is usual. Read our guide: How High Should Coat Hooks Be?
