Command hooks truly are the answer when it comes to decluttering your home in an effective and inexpensive manner. These hanging solutions can be stuck anywhere, and can be removed without causing any damage to the surface, thus making them perfect for those of you who are renting and want to bypass the drill. And with all the varying sizes and weight capabilities, the possibilities feel endless.

A quick tip before you start…

Before using these, though, make sure that you get good quality hooks, and make sure to follow the instructions carefully so that they adhere well and won’t harm the surface when finally removed.

As much as I love using command hooks, sometimes, the white plastic makes my fantastic organizational solution look a little… tacky. A great way to fix this problem is just to paint the hook. You can choose a color that blends into the surface, go for something bright and bold, glitter it up, or even go for a faux metal look.

Hanging Utensils

Bib Holder

Since your little one will only need his or her bib when eating in the highchair, it makes sense that you keep them close by. What’s the closest you can get? Right on the back of the chair, hanging from a hook.

Ring Hook

How many times have you “lost” your rings, only to find them hours later (while in a panic) next to the kitchen sink? Most of us use command hooks by the sink to hang our hand towels and dishcloths, so now you can just add one more for your rings.

Indoor Herb Garden

I can’t remember the last time I actually paid for herbs, because I’ve been growing my own for so long now! If you want to follow suit but don’t have the outdoor space, just find a spot that gets enough sunlight, and hang your pots right there. So convenient!

His and Hers Shower Caddies

I think it’s fair to say that for the most part, men and women use different products and things in the shower, so I think dividing it all up is a great idea. Just get two hooks and two little caddies to keep everything well organized.
