Simple is good. At least in this case it is. Maybe that's why I said earlier that it might work in B&W, because that would be even simpler - no colours. Strip away everything superfluous, and get to the essence of the mirror and the hook. In black and white, the photograph can't use the crutch of pretty colours to prop up ordinary composition. And, colours won't obscure the strength of this wonderful composition.
If you put a hat or coat on it, it won't be a coat hook. It will be the thing holding up the hat or coat.
Sorry to go on and on, but I really like this photo.
cheers, frank

Very simple and elegant composition. Maybe too simple, but I like it. But I would try putting something on that hanger, maybe a hat or a coat.
