Coat Hooks and Robe Hooks That Match Your Hardware

Hooks are the hardest-working hardware in the house and the easiest to get wrong cheaply. These coat hooks — single and double robe styles from £2.99 — are solid metal in the same finishes as our handle ranges (matt black, antique brass, antique copper, matt gold, polished chrome), so hallway, bathroom and bedroom hooks can match the rest of the home's metalwork.

The Styles

Double robe hooks carry an upper and lower prong — coat on top, bag or scarf below — and are the most useful all-rounder for halls. The traditional wall-mounted double hook adds a backplate for period character, while modern single hooks keep bathrooms and bedrooms minimal. Aluminium alloy construction keeps them rust-resistant in steamy bathrooms.

Placement That Works

Adult coats hang clear at 1500-1700mm fixing height; children's hooks at 1000-1200mm teach independence early. Space hooks about 150mm apart in a row — closer and coats crush, wider and the row looks gappy. On doors, fix into the solid frame, not the hollow panel centre; in plasterboard walls, use proper plasterboard fixings for anything heavier than a towel.

Matching the Metals

A hallway reads finished when its hooks, door levers and cupboard handles agree. Matt black hooks pair with black door handles; antique brass and copper hooks continue the warmth of antique brass handles; chrome stays crisp alongside bathroom fittings. For bathroom-specific hardware beyond hooks, see bathroom handles.

Beyond the Hallway

Bathrooms: towels and robes, one hook per family member ends the floor-towel era. Bedrooms: tomorrow's outfit, dressing gowns, bags. Utility rooms: dog leads, aprons, bags-for-life. At £2.99-£4.99 a hook, over-provisioning is cheap — the unused hook costs pennies; the missing one costs daily annoyance.

Delivery

Free UK delivery and fast dispatch. Fixing screws are included with every hook — into solid surfaces you need nothing but a drill and ten minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a coat hook and a robe hook?

Largely naming - robe hooks tend to be smaller with rounded ends for towels and dressing gowns, while coat hooks are sturdier with a longer reach for heavier coats. Our double hooks handle both jobs with an upper and lower prong.

How high should coat hooks be fitted?

Around 1500-1700mm from the floor for adult coats, lower (about 1000-1200mm) for children's hooks. Leave roughly 150mm between hooks on a row so coats hang without crushing each other.

Can these hooks be fitted to a door?

Yes - they fix with screws to any solid surface, walls or doors. On hollow internal doors, fix into the solid frame areas (top and sides) or use appropriate hollow-door fixings rather than the panel centre.

How much weight can a wall hook hold?

Fitted into solid wall or timber with the supplied screws, our metal hooks comfortably take everyday coats, bags and towels. The fixing surface is the real limit - into plasterboard, use proper plasterboard fixings rather than the bare screws.
