Rustic wall hanging is perfect for hanging robes, pajamas, purses, and more. In this project, we focus on creating rustic wall hanging for clothes and accessories that’s as charming as it is functional. It makes a great addition to any guest bedroom, offering visitors a unique and creative way to hang their personal items.
1. Gather your materials
- A piece of wood (our example uses a 24 x 8-inch piece, but you can adjust it according to your space and needs)
- White chalky paint
- Stencil
- Coffee cup hooks
- Wall hangers (two pieces)
2. Prepare the wood
Before we begin, it’s worth discussing the size of your wood. The size can be customized based on the design of your stencil. For instance, we used a stencil size of around 9 x 12 inches for this project. After selecting your wood piece, it’s time to dry brush it with white chalky paint. This gives the wood a weathered, rustic look that adds to the overall aesthetic.
3. Add the stencil design
Now, we move on to the more artistic portion of our project: the stenciling. In this step, we’re going to layer our stencils to add depth and interest to the design. Use a stencil with a vine design as the base of the sign to infuse a touch of nature into your piece.
Over the vine design, you can add extra stencils in a different color. For example, we used the text ‘Come as guests’ and ‘Leave as friends’ for a welcoming touch to the guest room.

4. Install the hooks
Coffee cup hooks are the perfect solution for hanging accessories on your wall hanger. You can find them in many hardware stores, Lowe’s included. One essential step before you start hammering away is to measure the placement of your hooks. This ensures an even look that’s as pleasing to the eye as it is practical.
5. Install the wall hanger
For hanging the finished piece, we used two wall hangers end-to-end. Depending on the size and weight of your project, you might need more or less, but two should work fine for a project of this size.
Your guest room looks very welcoming. It says “Come on in!”
Love it!
Love Love Love the room! The idea of the “faux” chalk writing is pure genius ?
Only way I can do it. Fake it till you make it:)
Your guest room is looking amazing.
Hello Debbie, It is Sunday and I just watched your hanger plaque. I am wondering what you used to hang it on the wall, so if someone hangs something heavy on it it won’t fall off the wall.
Going over to check your Skype videos, to see if I missed any……
Have a nice day, Judy.
I will add it to my post Judith…I forgot but I did take a picture of what I used. Thanks for catching that.
May I please be a guest in this beautiful room?
