14 clever ways to use adhesive hooks in the home
You knew they were handy but did you know just how handy adhesive hooks (and strips) are? These 14 clever ideas will help you organise and tidy almost everything in your home.
1. Conceal cords
With many of us having a few technological gadgets at home, those power cords can become a bit of an eyesore, not to mention the potential tangles. Tiny adhesive hooks can help keep your cords tidy and camouflaged.
2. Keep chair cushions from moving
If your chairs don’t have ties on them, stop them from shifting around with adhesive strips. Plus, it means you can still remove them to clean the chairs and cushions.
3. Hang shower supplies
If your shower caddy keeps slipping off the showerhead’s neck, hang it on an adhesive hook. Make sure it’s a sturdy one that can stand the wet conditions.
4. Store pot lids
Pot lids are notoriously difficult to store so this just may be the solution you need. Make a lid holder out of two hooks on the back of cupboard doors.
5. Hang plastic bags
If you like to keep on to your plastic bags after a trip to the supermarket, hang them at the back of a door to keep them neat, tidy and easily accessible.
6. Decorate with ease
With Christmas coming up soon, this is a nifty trick to know: place a hook upside down on the back of the door to stylishly hang a wreath.
7. Hang bulky utensils
Those big kitchen utensils can be hung neatly on the back of cupboard doors with some well place adhesive hooks.
8. Tidy TV cords
The back of the TV is known for its disarray of criss-crossing cables but with a command hook, it will be untidy no more.
9. Display pictures without nails
For those who are renting or just don’t want nails in their walls, adhesive hooks or strips are a great option to hang your frames nail-free.
10. Make a bin in your car
Hang a bag inside your car for an easily accessible bin to stash rubbish without cluttering up the car.
11. Keep a garbage bag in place
Attach a hook on either side of your garbage bin and loop the handles for a garbage bag that never slips out of place.
12. Hang hook-unfriendly items
A command hook and a binder clip means you can now hang hook-unfriendly items.
13. Mount toothbrushes
Use small hooks turned sideways to store toothbrushes.
14. Create a tablet holder
With a few hooks you can create a tablet holder in any room in your house.
