I'm planning to install a coat rack on the right side of my bedroom closet, at the place marked with *:

+----------------+
|                |
|                |
|                |
|                |
| +--------+     |
| | Closet |*    |
+-+--------+-    |
             Door

(drawing not to scale; projection from top)

My question: How do I decide at which height to install the rack? I'd like to do something better than just eyeball what seems reasonable.

Should it depend on:

  • Ceiling height?
  • Closet height?
  • Closet handle height?
  • Door handle height?
  • Door height?
  • other things?

... and what kind of dependence?

Additional info:

  • I don't have coats which go down to knee or foot level - only waist-high coats. On the other hand, this rack isn't really for coats - those go on a coat rack at the entrance to my apartment.
  • There are other coat racks in the apartment, but they're all hanging off of door tops, like this one.

Since you seem to want an exact answer where none really exist then here:

According to the experts at Home Décor Bliss, the average height of a coat rack is about 5 feet; this height keeps even long coats from hanging on the ground, but is reachable to most individuals.

So, 60 inches it is.
