4. Animals
If you’re looking to create a rack for a kids’ space, utilize those plastic animals. A bit of paint, a plank of wood, and VOLIA! you’ve got this cutie to enjoy. The details can be found at Say Yes.
5. Clothing Line
Sometimes simplicity really is key. And with this idea we found at Apartment Therapy, you can get your hats off the floor, display them beautiful, and not cause any more fuss in your personal space. Some string and some clothespins are all you need to get started!
6. Mismatched Hooks
We’re loving this inspiring idea from Redbook! Grab some funky hooks at a local home store and then start making your very own, unique design. It’s a beautiful way to brighten up the foyer or mudroom.
7. Traditional
Of course you can always go the traditional route. Create an easy hat rack with some wooden pieces and pegs. You an hang up the kids bags too like you see here in this example from Pinterest.
8. Trophy
What can you do with all of those old trophies? You may feel bad throwing them out, but you can actually utilize them as such. Check out more details by visiting Design Sponge.
9. Antlers
Camille Styles has some beautiful, DIY-style antlers featured and we think they’d make great hat racks too. Paint them to your own liking and even add a bit of glitter if you’re feeling extra fancy. We love them as necklace holders too.
10. Wooden Pegboard
The Merrythought had this gorgeous wooden pegboard design featured and it’s perfect for our minimal, modern lovers out there. It’s a DIY beaut and you can use it all around the house in various ways – including to hand your hats (and bags!).
11. Vintage Records
That vintage record collection you have can help out too. Or you can grab some inexpensive ones at the flea market to put this project to shame. Grab the deets as you visit BHG.
12. White Tree
Similar to the antlers, you can use tree pieces as you rack too. Paint it – we’re loving the sleek white – and then hand it up. Those branches will become your best friends. Idea straight from the genius of Hello, Scarlett.
13. Family-Style
This idea is really similar to our first on the list but we really love how it climbed across the wall. Hallmark Channel does a great job surprising us with it’s beauty and the instruction behind it.
14. Nautical
The Lily Pad has this nautical rack up for grabs. Visit now and check out the easy details. The distressed wood and hooks give this just the right amount of beachy grit.
15. Clip-Up
