Hang Your Measuring Spoons on Storage Container
Are you tired of scrambling to find measuring spoons or cups every morning? Simplify your routine by adding a small command hook to the outside of your essentials cabinet and attaching the matching measuring spoon or cup. This clever hack will save you time and reduce stress in the morning, allowing you to focus on more important things like enjoying your oatmeal or coffee.
With this easy solution, you’ll be able to effortlessly grab what you need without disrupting your flow, making mornings just a little bit brighter.
Keep Your Garbage Bag in Place
For those who struggle with garbage bags that constantly fall down and get buried under trash, a simple yet effective solution exists: By attaching two upside-down command hooks, placed opposite each other on your bag, you can effortlessly retrieve it every time. This hack is particularly reliable when used with drawstring bags, but can also be adapted for regular bags by poking holes in the center. The result is a secure and convenient way to manage your waste disposal.
Hang Your Toothbrushes
For smaller bathrooms or those without a dedicated toothbrush holder, a sideways command hook can be an innovative solution. When selecting the perfect hook, ensure that its size is proportionate to your toothbrush and test it before installation. This will guarantee proper functionality for households with frequent guests; consider adding a few more hooks to accommodate their needs.
Organize Your Kitchen Cabinets
Transform your kitchen cabinets by incorporating everyday or sentimental items that hold sentimental value. As you curate this selection, consider the spatial requirements for each item’s placement, taking into account both the individual hanging space and the shelf behind each door. If any adjustments are needed, don’t hesitate to revisit and reposition items as necessary, using the adhesive as needed to achieve the desired fit.
An Organized Cleaning Cupboard
When it comes to maximizing your storage space, don’t neglect those often-overlooked areas like under sinks or laundry rooms. This is where essential cleaning tools and accessories can be neatly stashed away, keeping them organized and within easy reach. To get the most out of your hooks, experiment with different sizes to find the perfect fit for each item. If something’s not quite fitting right, simply adjust the adhesive part of the hook until it does.
And if you have must-have items that are stubbornly refusing to be hooked, try using a binder hook as an intermediary, attaching them to the main hook in a way that works. For added versatility, consider incorporating DIY hanging organizers with Command hooks – this can help keep everything tidy and easily accessible.
Hang Your Cups
Create a cozy coffee nook in your home with command hooks. These affordable and temporary solutions allow you to experiment with different layouts or make a rental feel more like yours. Simply stage the area as you prefer, then identify the perfect spots for hanging cups on walls or underneath shelves. When choosing hooks for this project, opt for heavier-duty options that can withstand the weight of your coffee station. Plus, many packs are easily paintable if you want to add a pop of color.
This approach offers flexibility and customization without committing to permanent fixtures.
Keep Your Appliance Cable Organized
The frustration of dealing with tangled cords in the kitchen is a common issue many of us face. For those who, like me, abhor the sight of loose wires wrapped around appliances or just lying idle when not in use, this simple solution is a game-changer. By attaching a small command hook to an out-of-the-way spot on your kitchen gadget and wrapping the cord neatly around it until all excess is tucked away, you’ll never have to worry about messy cords again.
The added benefit of using two facing away from each other is that it allows for even neater coiling, making this hack a must-try for any kitchen organization enthusiast.
Display Your Jewellery
Here’s the thing – some of you might think this is too down-to-earth or not exciting enough, but that’s what makes it so brilliant. The beauty lies in its simplicity, allowing you to get creative and display these little treasures in a way that reflects your personal style. Simply grab a paintbrush or a hook that fits your aesthetic, and let your imagination run wild.
Not only does this hack save me from the tedious task of detangling, but it also means I can easily find what I’m looking for without having to search high and low.

You might find that the spot you choose for your rack looks a bit different from someone else’s, but that’s what makes it so special – it’s yours.

Store Your Pot Lids
Have you ever found yourself in the midst of cooking, only to be plagued by the frustration of searching for the perfect lid? If so, you’re not alone. I too have struggled with this issue until stumbling upon a simple yet effective solution – command hooks. By strategically placing a few well-placed hooks on the inside of a cupboard door, you can hang your lids of choice, making them easily accessible and eliminating the need for constant searching.
Make Your Own Kitchen Gallery
Transform your kitchen into a vibrant haven by creating a one-of-a-kind gallery wall featuring sentimental pieces or delicate items. Begin by selecting a spot that resonates with you, such as above the counter or near the island. Install the necessary hooks to support the weight and size of your treasures. The beauty of this project lies in its flexibility – if the arrangement doesn’t quite work out, simply remove the hooks and rearrange them to create a new look.
This dynamic approach allows you to easily adapt to changing tastes or add more pieces as your collection grows.
Organize Your Sunglasses
With my sunglasses and glasses undergoing constant changes in size over the years, I’ve struggled to find a reliable spot for them. That was until I discovered command hooks – a game-changer for keeping track of my eyewear collection. I hang my favorite pairs or current go-to’s on the hooks and store the rest safely in a designated box in my bedroom. This way, I can keep an eye out (pun intended) to ensure no little ones get their hands on them without my knowledge.
It’s also worth noting that this clever hack has allowed me to free up space and reduce clutter – a win-win in my book.
Make a Phone Charging Station
One clever hack that my friends swear by is setting up a designated phone charging station. They’ve successfully implemented this solution for their sons, and it’s made a significant difference in keeping chargers organized and reducing the likelihood of lost or misplaced cords. The idea is simple: attach hooks to a wall or piece of furniture near where phones are typically charged, creating a dedicated spot that keeps everything tidy and within reach.
This DIY charging station not only prevents cord clutter but also minimizes tripping hazards in the home. With the cord lifted off the floor, it’s a small yet effective way to boost organization and reduce accidents.
Clip on the Lights
While hanging lights can add a touch of elegance to any space, they’re not immune to the whims of Mother Nature. Heavy rain and strong winds can cause these delicate strands to droop or even come crashing down. However, with a simple solution like command hooks, you can rest assured that your lights will remain secure and stable, eliminating the risk of surprise light strand drops that might startle you or your loved ones.
Hang on Your Towels
Adding functional and decorative elements to your bathroom is a breeze when you incorporate command hooks into the space. These versatile tools can be used to hang towels, store bathroom essentials, or even display decorative items that bring personality to the room.
Increase Storage in a Cupboard
Building upon the earlier concept of incorporating hooks for specific tools within your kitchen cupboards, this next idea takes a similar approach but with a more substantial twist. To maximize the inner doors’ storage potential, consider installing a cup or thin basket to hold additional accessories. I’ve personally found success using magazine bins like the one pictured above and cups like the illustration depicts.
The key is to experiment and factor in the weight that may be placed upon the attached basket. This creative organizational method proves particularly effective for storing small items, offering a fresh perspective on maximizing kitchen storage space.
