von You know, I always thought command hooks were just for hanging a picture here or there. Maybe sticking up a holiday wreath, or hanging up the kid’s artwork for a while. But let me tell you, once I started really thinking outside the box, I realized those little hooks can do way more than I ever gave them credit for. I mean, I’ve been living in this house for years, and it’s like I’ve been blind to all the clever ways you can use command hooks to make life just a little bit easier.
So today, I’m spilling the tea. If you’ve got a few packs of command hooks lying around (and honestly, who doesn’t?), you need to know these 10 unexpected uses. They’ll save you time, space, and maybe even your sanity. Some of these ideas might seem so simple, you’ll wonder why you didn’t think of them sooner—trust me, I had that moment too.
Let’s get into it, shall we?
1. Transform Your Kitchen with Command Hooks
Okay, so let’s start in the kitchen, because that’s where I spend a lot of my time. Between cooking, cleaning, and hunting for the missing measuring cup (again), it feels like there’s never enough space. But command hooks? Total game-changer.
I stuck a few small hooks inside my cabinet doors, and now my measuring spoons and cups hang neatly instead of getting buried in a drawer. I even put up a couple of sturdy ones under the sink—now my rubber gloves and spray bottles hang up instead of sitting in a messy heap. And here’s the best part: you can even hang a lightweight pot or pan on a hook. Just make sure you check the weight limit on the hook first!
I also use them to hang a dish towel right by the sink. No more fumbling around for a towel with wet hands—it’s just there. Seriously, if you do nothing else after reading this article, at least go hang up a few hooks in your kitchen. You’ll thank me later.
2. Organize Your Closet Like a Pro
Closets can turn into black holes, can’t they? Scarves, belts, hats… they all end up shoved into a corner, and then you’re digging through piles every time you need something. That’s where command hooks come in clutch.
I put up a row of hooks on the inside of my closet door for my scarves, and it’s been a total game-changer. No more tangled messes. Belts? Same deal. Hang them up, and you can actually see what you own. I even made a little jewelry station with a few mini hooks for my necklaces—no more knots, no more digging around.
Oh, and if you’ve got kids, let them pick a few hooks for their own stuff—hats, backpacks, even little jackets. It teaches them to stay organized and keeps the floor clear. Win-win.
3. Create a DIY Charging Station
Raise your hand if you’re tired of losing chargers or having cords all over the place. Yep, me too. So here’s what I did: I grabbed a small basket from the dollar store, attached a couple of command hooks to the wall by an outlet, and hung the basket on the hooks. Boom—instant charging station.
Now all the cords and gadgets live in that little basket. No more hunting for chargers, no more cords dangling all over the counter. And you can use extra hooks to keep the cords tidy along the wall. Just a few minutes of setup, and it feels like a huge weight off my shoulders.
