If you can manage a screwdriver, you can install your own wall mounted coat rack. It's relatively easy with easy to find tools such as an electric screwdriver and a level, either laser or traditional. All you need to do is mark where you want the coat rack to go, drill holes (or use an electric screwdriver), screw in several sets of screws through holes provided in the coat rack (however many are required for the particular coat rack model you choose), and you're all set. A level is not entirely necessary if you have a good eye, but is useful to get the coat rack straight without any major effort. The level and electric screwdriver are available at any hardware store, as well as many department stores. A stud finder (to find studs in the walls) is also very useful if not necessary for sturdiest installation, and instructions for installation should come with your coat rack, or can be found by doing a search online. Best of all, any available wall space will do, so you can install them in places like guest rooms, or any place you don't have extra needed closet space.

Today's modern tools, such as the laser level, mean that you don't even need to have a good “eye” to hang a nice, level coat rack. Using an electric screwdriver means that there is no need to drill holes and manually screw in the screws needed to hang coat racks yourself. You don't even need to be particularly strong. And, of course, a stud finder will usually find studs in walls so that you don't have to look for them when you decide where you want to hang your coat rack.

Of course, if you don't want to hang your own coat rack, you probably know somebody who is a handy with such tools and would be willing to do it for you. If you're willing to barter services, you can even get it done for free, assuming you don't have a family member or friend who can do it for you. Does your next-door neighbor hate to cut his lawn? Then offer to mow his lawn for free twice in exchange for having him help you hang your wall mounted coat rack, or offer a free babysitting afternoon so the couple next door is able go out for the evening. With a little creative thinking, you'll find there are a variety of ways or you can trade labor and have someone else hang your wall mounted coat rack for you or least give you some help doing it. Of course, if you've never done it but want to give yourself a challenge, the easy to use tools available today, such as the electric screwdriver, laser level, and stud finder will provide you this option (and you might just surprise yourself when you see how handy you are, even though you never knew it!).
