Magazine Racks and Umbrella Stands
Both items solve the same problem: things that don’t have a permanent place and therefore end up on the floor or on a coffee table. The magazine rack holds magazines and albums, while the umbrella stand keeps wet umbrellas that would otherwise damage the floor.
Magazine Rack in the Living Room
It’s best to place it where you actually read – next to a chair or by the armrest of a sofa. A model with a narrow base takes up less space than an additional side table, while serving a similar organizational role.
Some models feature a flat top edge where you can place a cup – it’s worth checking if there’s a lack of surface in the chosen spot.
Umbrella Stand in the Hallway
A key feature is a sealed tray or water insert – without it, water drips directly onto the floor, which can cause permanent damage to panels. Also, check if the insert can be removed and emptied.
A height of 40–60 cm is sufficient for long umbrellas. Narrow and tall models are more stable when they have a weighted base.
Entryway Zone
The umbrella stand pairs well with a coat rack, mirror, and a bench for putting on shoes. A tray on a console or a small container organizes keys and small items.
You can find more suggestions in the Hallway collection and among accessories.
Materials
Metal is the most durable and easy to wipe clean – a great choice for an umbrella stand. Wicker and wood look warm and are better suited as a magazine rack in the living room, where they won’t come into contact with water.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the umbrella stand need a water insert?
Yes – without a sealed tray, water drips onto the floor. Removable inserts are the most convenient.
What is the height of the umbrella stand?
40–60 cm – enough for a long umbrella to stand stably without tipping over.
Where should I place the magazine rack?
Next to a chair or sofa, where you actually read – otherwise, the magazines will end up on the table anyway.
