Watch: 17 Incredible Command Hook Hacks
Hang Your Measuring Spoons on Storage Container
Streamline your morning routine by converting common essentials into quick-grab stations. For instance, if you have measuring spoons or cups that are used daily, consider attaching them to a command hook and placing it near your morning setup. This thoughtful hack will save you the hassle of searching for these items every morning, making your routine feel more relaxed. The small addition can make a big difference in reducing morning stress.
Keep Your Garbage Bag in Place
Tired of struggling with garbage bags that always seem to fall down and get covered by trash? A simple hack can make all the difference. To keep your bags upright and easily accessible, try using command hooks to hold them in place. Simply attach two upside-down hooks to opposite sides of the bag, then hook the bag’s handles onto them. This clever solution ensures that your garbage bag stays put and is easy to retrieve every time.
While it may work a bit more seamlessly with drawstring bags, the principle can still be applied to other types of bags as well.
Hang Your Toothbrushes
When working with limited bathroom space, a sideways command hook can be a game-changer. Not only does it provide a convenient spot for storing toothbrushes, but it’s also a great solution for those without dedicated toothbrush holders. To ensure the hook is suitable for your needs, take into account its size in relation to your toothbrush and test it before installation. For added convenience, consider adding multiple hooks if you frequently host guests or have a larger family.
Organize Your Kitchen Cabinets
To add a touch of personality to your kitchen, consider hanging everyday or sentimental items such as mugs, photos, or utensils on the interior of your cabinets. When planning the layout, think about both the space required for each item to be displayed and the shelves behind each door to ensure everything fits comfortably. If any issues arise during the process, simply remove and reposition the adhesive-backed items to achieve a seamless look.
An Organized Cleaning Cupboard
Maximize your utility spaces by utilizing under-sink and under-cabinet areas for storage. Essential cleaning tools and accessories can now have a designated home, keeping them organized and within reach. Experiment with different hook sizes to find the perfect fit for each item, and adjust as needed by readjusting the adhesive portion of the hook. For items that are difficult to attach directly to a hook, consider using binder hooks to connect them to the main hook instead.
This creative solution can help keep even your most essential items tidy. And for an added touch, consider incorporating a DIY hanging organizer with Command hooks to take your organization to the next level.
Hang Your Cups
Are you smitten with the idea of setting up a cozy coffee nook in your home? Command hooks offer a budget-friendly and non-permanent solution to bring that vibe to life, especially for renters. The versatility of these hooks lies in their ability to be easily relocated or removed when needed.
To create your ideal coffee station, first stage the area with any decorative elements you like. Then, identify the most suitable spots to hang your coffee cups on the wall or underneath a shelf.
For this project, it’s essential to opt for heavier-duty hooks that can withstand the weight of your cups. The linked pack is an excellent choice, as it’s paintable if you want to add some color and personality to your setup.
Keep Your Appliance Cable Organized
For those who share my disdain for cords getting tangled up in appliances or simply lying about unused, a simple yet effective solution exists. It’s a clever hack that involves attaching a small command hook to an out-of-the-way spot on your kitchen accessory and then coiling the cord around it until it’s fully concealed. The result is a tidy and organized look that eliminates any unsightly cord tails.
For added neatness, you can even use two facing away from each other, allowing you to wrap multiple cords together in a compact manner.
Display Your Jewellery
As some of you may think, this idea may seem a bit too down-to-earth or unexciting at first glance. But that’s the best part! You can take any type of hook or paint and showcase it in a way that resonates with you in your personal space – it’s a game-changer when it comes to saving time on detangling and keeping track of individual pieces.
