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 While all hall trees exist to help you declutter, some are better suited for certain purposes than others. "Since there are many different options on the market, it's also important to look for a hall tree that feels aligned with your personal style and aesthetic and fits in with the rest of your home decor," explains Gill. For example, if you need a piece of furniture that will make your home look a little tidier, focus on styles with a cabinet versus one with open shelves so you can keep up appearances more easily. If you're trying to neaten up your family's shoe collection, look for units with specific shoe cubby holes. Also, if you're considering a benched hall tree, take a look at the weight that it can support and the height of the hooks so you aren't fighting against your coats while trying to sit down on the bench. 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. Wood has long been favored as the preferred material for making hall trees. Its popularity continues today in traditional hall tree designs. Not only is solid wood loved for its durability, but it’s also versatile and adds natural beauty to your home. 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.Contemporary hall trees are typically made with traditional materials like solid wood but showcase them in entirely new and fresh ways. Metal designs also don’t follow the classic rectangular structure, opting for tiered angular shelves instead. If you have a busy household, this all-in-one hall tree is a great way to keep your entryway organized. This piece features 24 integrated cubbies for storing shoes along the bottom. There is a wide bench above the cubbies, which can hold up to 200 pounds. Six double coat hooks are positioned a good distance apart, so you can place heavier coats alongside one another. There are three overhead storage shelves at the top of the unit. The potential downside is that these shelves are 67 inches tall, which might be too high for some people to reach. However, they could be a plus if you need to keep things out of reach of young children.

The material you choose for the hall tree should be durable enough to withstand daily wear and tear and be aesthetically pleasing. WoodAnother 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. The nifty hidden shelving and lovely wood paneling come with an unfortunate downside though: It's more difficult to get in all of its crevices while you're dusting. Though, if you don't mind putting in a little extra elbow grease on cleaning day, it makes for a stylish and practical focal point to add to the corner of any room. A hall tree is a simple all-in-one solution typically used for organizing all of your grab-and-go essentials by the front door," Gill explains. "Instead of puzzle piecing together lots of separate components like cubbies, hooks, benches, and bins that may not look great together, you can set up shop in a single, streamlined unit."
