Got this coat stand this week. It's in the corner so there's space for my buggy. But I think something doesn't look right (I think it's the top shelf part) I went for this one thinking I can add baskets on top of decor but I think because it slightly blocks the window it looks off.Thinking of getting one without the top shelf part...thoughts?Also any tips on what can go on the wall - very bare at the moment. I was thinking gallery wall or big clock. Pictures below - Thanks
It definitely looks better placed centrally between the windows and the stairs, leaving a space for your buggy to go beside the window. Have you tried putting some baskets on the top shelf? Hopefully it’ll look fine and you won’t need to go to the bother of replacing it. If you still think you’d like to add something to fill the wall space perhaps a round oak mirror might be useful.
Thanks for your advice Betty boo - added some baskets too. I know eventually I won't have the buggy in hallway (even thought that's for a while) then I can put it centrally with the baskets I guess
I think that looks fine and as you say you won’t have the buggy forever but on a practical note and as your family grows in size if not in number you’ll have space to buy a larger unit perhaps incorporating some bench seating.
Your coatstand and position is a good practical choice. I just think looking at it that you would have more light if there weren't so many coats and jackets on it. Try taking a few away and see if that improves the light.
