On my annual trip back to Sweden to visit family, the first thing I do is head to the local convenience store and stock up on Swedish interior design magazines. Sköna Hem always provides lots of inspiration, including this clever painted antler coat rack in an overhauled farmhouse. To create something similar, source a set of naturally shed Elk Antlers ($199 at the Antler Rack) and spray paint with a low-VOC paint, such as the 100 percent acrylic Krylon H2O Latex.
