Hooked on hooks!

Hooks come in a variety of sizes and function. They are a great way to maximize your space inexpensively. Here are a few ways we use hooks to help keep our house organized and tidy.
My hubby is a "hat guy" so to keep them all together in an easily accessible place all I did was place small hooks behind his closet door and hung his hats there.
These are the hooks I used for the hats. I got them from Walmart they came in a pack of 8 for .97 cents! Now that's what I call an inexpensive upgrade!!


We have a small coat closet and needed a place for our frequently used bags and our son's back pack. The answer...well hooks of course! We use an over the door hook to keep some of our bags and we wanted to place our son's back pack lower so he can reach it and easily put it back so we used a command hook.

There is nothing worse than being in a rush and realizing it's raining then trying to search for an umbrella. To save us from this annoyance I used a small hook that screws into the wall to keep our umbrellas. I put this hook inside our coat closet. It's easy to grab on the go and we never have to search for them again.

Inside cabinet doors are a great place to keep all of those things that you use on a regular basis. We keep our measuring cups and pot holders here. Again, they are easily accessible and never get lost in drawers.

Key hooks are a must in my opinion. To create this key holder I used screw in hooks that you can find cheap at any home store and then just added the key above for decoration. If you get in the habit of keeping your keys on the hook you will never have to search for missing keys again!

Our home doesn't have a closet we could use for cleaning supplies so instead we hung this utility rack and keep everything organized in our basement stairwell. These utility racks are great because there are a lot of different hooks you can use and it's very sturdy.

My closet is pretty full with clothes so I use an over the door hook to keep my most used purses.

I love chunky necklaces but they can be tricky to keep organized so I use this key hook and place my chunky necklaces on that. It separates them and keeps all in one spot. 
 Here you have just a few ways we use hooks in our home. Hooks are inexpensive but they can really make a difference when trying to utilize the space in your home. The possibilities are endless and we are always coming up with new ways to organize with hooks! I would love to hear how you use hooks to organize!
