10 ways to use hooks in your home to stay organised
Life is busy and stuff piles up. They say that staying organised helps keep stress at bay. If there is a place for everything, and everything is in its place, then life feels a bit calmer. The humble hook is one way to organise just about anything you can think of. You can use hooks in a number of ways to stay organised. Let’s check some of these ideas out.
10 ways to use hooks in your home to stay organised
1. Hang cleaning equipment
We’ve all had a broom fall on us when we’ve opened the cleaning cupboard. Why not use a hook to hang cleaning items like brooms, dusters, dustpans, brushes, cloths, mops, sponges, squeegees, plungers and buckets.
2. Hang bicycles
It’s quick and easy to put up bike hooks and you can store your bike on hooks in a few different ways, depending on the type of hook you choose. Getting your bikes up and out of the way will give you precious floor space. You can also hang helmets, cycling shoes, water bladders, pumps and bags.
3. Hang garden tools
If there’s one thing your wife will appreciate, it’s organising the garden tools. Whether you hang them in the shed or in your garage, at least they won’t be lying around in the garden.
4. Hang DIY tools
You can also use hooks to hang all of your DIY and power tools up together. DIY becomes a pleasure when you know where to find all of the tools you need for a job. It’s also a lot safer to keep tools off the floor and out of reach of little people’s hands.
5. Hang towels
We all know that towels don’t dry when they’re left in a heap on the floor. Whether you need to hang towels in bathrooms, on the back of bedroom doors or outside by the swimming pool – hooks are the perfect solution.
6. Hang bags
In every home, there are handbags, school bags, sports bags and other bags. Having a central place where all the bags can be hung up off the floor will help everyone stay organised.
7. Hang bottles
It is even possible to use utility hooks to store jars. This is a great option for storing nuts, bolts, screws and other small items in your tool shed. It’s also ideal for storing spices and other small food items in your kitchen or pantry.
8. Hang scarves, belts, hats and jewellery
Having hooks in your wardrobe is a must. Fashion items and jewellery can all too easily become a jumble, and hooks can help you find what you’re looking for.
9. Create shelves
Hooks can actually be used to create narrow shelves that can be placed in bathrooms, bedrooms, sheds, storerooms, kitchens – anywhere in the home.
10. Store surfboards
You can even use long hooks to store surfboards in garages or storerooms. You can either stand them up or store them completely off the ground.
