A hall tree fitted with a bench is one such style. It allows you to not only hang your coat, scarf, and hat on the hooks but you can also take a seat on the bench to remove your shoes too. In some cases, the bench seat has open or concealed storage for you to put your shoes and boots in, so your entrance hall stays uncluttered and neat.You should also consider the primary purpose of your hall tree. Some models are outfitted with mirrors and benches, which are often the focal point of the piece. If you’re looking for a comfortable seat or reading nook, the weight capacity and dimensions of the bench are important considerations, as well the height of the hooks. You don’t want to wrestle with your winter coats while trying to sit on the bench.

If you’re looking for an antique hall tree style, wood lends itself perfectly to this look. Antique hall trees feature intricate designs, which became popular during Victorian times when hall trees started becoming commonplace in homes. Hall trees, or hall stands, became popular in mid-19th-century Victorian homes. They were designed in response to a very specific problem. During Victorian times, it was customary for homeowners to remove the clothing items intended for outdoor wear and leave them in a room known as the foyer before entering other parts of the home. With time, furniture was designed primarily to be used in the entrance room – the hall tree. Recently, I bought a hall tree, and it’s taken my hallway from disastrous confusion to organized and clutter-free. And everyone knows where their stuff is! So, I thought to put together this brief guide to help you find the ideal hall tree furniture for your home. The Origin of Hall Trees

You might be picturing a big oak tree or a pine sprouting up from your hallway, but it’s not that. A hall tree is a piece of furniture typically found in a hallway or entrance of a home. It comes with shelves or knobs to store items and hang coats. The name was coined due to its shape of a tree-like structure at entrances. One of the most important things to consider when shopping for a hall is what size will best fit your space. If you have a small entryway or an awkward layout, a narrow or corner hall tree are clever space-saving solutions. If you have a larger family, you will need a unit that’s big enough to suit multiple needs—providing you have the wall space for it, of course. Our best for large families option, the Gracie Oaks Gracie 60'' Wide Hall Tree with Bench, features 24 shoe cubbies, six double coat hooks, three overhead storage shelves, and a spacious bench—a great fit for busy households. A kid’s hall tree will be used during the early years of their life, so keeping it free-standing might be easier. They can be basic plywood structures, but you may want to find one that has fun and bright colors because children sometimes need a bit of encouragement to tidy up. You can use it to look at your reflection when leaving and do a final touch-up if needed. Get Started With Your Hall Tree Another facet to consider is how many bells and whistles you want on your hall tree. While some come embellished with mirrors, benches, cabinets, and cubbies, others are more minimalist and only provide hooks to hang up your coat. Consider your current organizational needs and which hall tree design elements will best meet them.

Shelves: They can be arranged in many different ways and be used for storing large objects or placing decorative items. The Scandinavian influence can be seen everywhere in home décor today. So it’s no surprise that this wildly popular style has made its way into entryway furniture design too. Scandinavian hall trees have an uncomplicated and uncluttered design aesthetic. If you live in a shoebox apartment, you know that each piece of furniture must be carefully considered, as there's no room for anything that's not essential. While hall trees are a great addition to apartments for their space-saving and storage-adding properties, they can be on the wider side and may not fit well into narrow hallways or awkward entryways. You can make the distressed wood look even better by adding a patina coat or oxidizing it. This helps to deepen the hues and preserve the material. Functionality-Based Options

It also has square shelves as opposed to rectangular ones, so you can stash it in a corner rather than having it jut out from your wall. While this is probably enough space for one person (or two), it's likely not ideal for those looking for a hall tree to organize a collection of kid's shoes, for example. A hall tree with seating will be aperfect place to sit and relax for a few minutes after you walk through the door. Hanging hall trees give you the functionality of a wall-mounted hall tree. Still, they are more convenient because they are not permanently installed on the wall. The coat hooks are usually already attached to or are constructed onto a plate. The whole contraption is then simply suspended over a door using fixing clips or attached to it via an adhesive, with no drilling necessary.

Hall trees are commonly constructed with hardwoods like oak, cherry, and maple, which are usually varnished and left in their natural state to show off the beauty of the timber. Contemporary hall trees incorporate materials like aluminum. And they are often available in a broader range of colors to suit your home décor. What Type of Storage Do You Need? These hall trees tend to be narrow, usually no more than 25 inches wide, with two or three hooks and a small shelf or cabinet for extra storage.

Another thing to be mindful of according to Gill? Door clearance. "Make sure to measure your space (height, width, and depth) and make sure you have enough clearance for any doors to open," she says. After all, the last thing you want is to dance around your hall tree whenever you have to open your closet door.
