coat closet

Outerwear storage space

A coat closet is a small closet near a home's entrance for storing coats, jackets, and outdoor gear.

Guests hang their coats there upon arriving: Let me take your jacket—I'll put it in the coat closet.

Most are shallow, with a single rod and perhaps a shelf above for hats or gloves.
