10 Unique Ways to Use Wall Hooks for Style and Organisation You Haven’t Tried Yet

In most homes, you’ll find ordinary wall hooks that are placed in such a way that they are functional. There may be, for instance, some in the bathroom for hanging towels on, or a few in the garage to store garden tools against the wall. However, homeowners can also effectively use them for style and organisation.

5 Décor and style enhancement ideas

Traditionally, when people decide where to screw in hooks they are only considering the functional aspects. However, when they visit outlets selling wall clips or browse the internet, they are surprised to discover how many different shapes are available. By using hooks with interesting shapes and colours, they are functional and at the same time enhance the home’s décor.

Ideas to enhance the décor with stylish clips include the following:

1. Hanging garden

By using hooks with interesting flower designs, the homeowner can create a hanging garden in a small space. A stylish vertical display of small plants hanging on eye-catching clips in the small space between the front door and the porch wall transforms an ordinary door into an elegant entrance.

A hanging garden with small plants and colourful hooks can also turn a blank space in the home into a stylish focal point.

2. Gallery for your children’s art

Use clips with child-friendly patterns and figures and create a dedicated place for displaying the children’s artwork. Keep the kid gallery interesting by switching their “masterpieces” regularly. Children can even be enticed to integrate the patterns on the wall hooks in some of their works.

3. Scarve rack

Many people hang their scarves on hooks inside their closets so they can easily pick one up when needed. Style-orientated people, however, hang them outside the closet on colourful clips to not only organise the scarves nicely but also use them to create stylish wall décor.

4. Mug Display

In many homes, mugs are being hung on hooks under kitchen wall units to free up space in the kitchen cabinets. Often, the hooks are deliberately under the wall cabinets to keep the mugs out of site. If the homeowner also has style in mind, interesting wall clips will be placed where the mugs can be displayed and contribute to the kitchen décor.

5. Wall Art

Homeowners can also arrange clips with interesting patterns and colours when decorating walls in small spaces. Hang small articles such as woven baskets, small mirrors, and even vintage locks and keys on them and turn a previously blank space into a small but stylish exhibition.

5 Storage and organising ideas

When you take items out of drawers or cabinets and hang them on hooks, you organise the items and free up space to use for storage of other essential things. Wall storage ideas include the following:

1. Handy pet corner

To have an organised pet corner, hang the leashes, collars and a bag dispenser in one place near the door. Get into the habit of hanging everything there when coming back from an outing with the pet and you will always have a tidy pet corner and never have to search the house for leashes.

2. Organised bedrooms

Put enough clips at the inside of closet doors and hang items which are normally lying in a drawer on them. People find that they keep their closets better organised if things such as

• robes,
• pyjamas,
• ties
• belts, and
• handbags are hanging rather than being stored in drawers.

To make it easier to find what you are looking for, arrange the hanging items according to size or colour.

3. Organised bathroom

It is easy for a family to organise towels and robes in the bathroom if these items are taken out of the bathroom cabinets and hung on wall clips. It also eliminates the need to bend down every time someone wants to get a new towel or a robe.

4. Create space in the laundry

The homeowner can also create extra space in the laundry which is normally a small room. Install hanging hooks to hold the ironing board when not in use. The homeowner can actually make the laundry stylish by using clips with interesting forms and colours. The ironing board can be transformed into an “artwork”.

5. Dedicated place for headphones in the family room

If there are clips to hang headphones near the entertainment centre in the family room, the untangling of headphones will not be necessary anymore every time you want to use them.

Conclusion

These 10 ideas should be enough to trigger ideas about the use of the best wall hooks available for style and organisation.
