kitchen utility design ideas
here’s how to organize literally everything with command hooks hook it. hook it real good. this is 37 clever ways hook can organize your entire life by natalie brown . the kitchen 1. hooks have many functional uses in the
kitchen, like holding baking utensils. 2. or, you know, regular cooking utensils. they might clank a bit every time you close the cabinet, though. a neat way to store your pans is with screw-in cup hooks. for an overhead cabinet, line them up on the underside of a shelf, spacing them apart enough
to ensure they'll each be easy to access. 3. and, of course, hot pads. if you hang them on the wall or side of the fridge, they can do double duty as decor. messy cabinet, pretty potholder. 4. they can also transform an old door into an all-purpose kitchen storage unit. now with the magnetic knife addition
and some re- organizing, i really, really love it. 5. a hook can hold a measuring cup on the side of your cereal bin, so you can portion it perfectly every morning. 6. use two hooks to make foil and plastic wrap easy to reach and tear. the pantry door was the best location
for my handy wrap and tin foil direction: i found this package of plastic hooks at walmart on the isle with the bathroom storage accessories. and it only cost a couple of bucks! first, i took measurements and spaced the hooks 10 5/8 inches apart from inside to inside. the boxes fit on by sliding one end on first and then slightly pulling the other hook
so the opposite end can be inserted. the hooks have just the right flimsiness factor to allow you to do this! and there they are hanging, just waiting to be used! 7. add some shower curtain rings and rods to the side of your fridge for an easy-to-customize kid’s art gallery. even better: this keeps the art in nice, neat rows,
and it will never fall off because the magnet isn’t magnet-y enough. 8. a solitary hook can make for convenient back-of-the-high-chair bib storage then it’s easy to remove the hook when you want to donate the high chair later. 9. they can also hang beautiful country-style window vases. you can gaze at them
in between your baby’s bites of purã©ed carrot. 10. mount a vertical herb garden next to your kitchen window with a few small hooks. 1. drill hole a plastic container 2. hang your command hook {sturdy, but removable and it won’t damage your cabinets or walls} 3. fill your plastic container
with some dirt and plants and hang it. 11. station a hook next to your sink to guard your rings while you do dishes. having the hook there can help you remember to take them off. in the bathroom. 12. create more storage space by securing a wire spice rack to the back
of your bathroom cabinets… i used extra-strong command hooks to hang a small wire rack for perfumes and nail polish. no need to drill into or purchase over-the-door hooks. make sure to get a spice rack that won’t let your stuff fall out, like this one.
13. or hang a wire file box on the side of your sink. or over your toilet, or next to your mirror, or wherever works best in your bathroom. 14. combine the organizational power of hooks and caddies, and everyone can have their own shower rack. just hang ‘em on their own hooks. (make sure to use water-resistant adhesive,
if you’re using adhesive hooks.) 15. switch those shower racks for bath-toy baskets if and when your situation is more kid-focused. again, water-resistant hooks are key. i nabbed a couple plastic-covered wire storage on amazon and hooked them daintily over the command hooks.
the wide slats on the baskets help everything drain easily. no trapped water! around the house 16. store the entire family’s sunglasses on two hooks and a dowel (you can make sure the dowel stays in place with a tiny bit of sticky tack). but no guarantees your teenager
won’t “borrow†your favorite pair every time they head out. instruction: 1. after locating just the right spot on the back of the cupboard door, adjust the interior shelves up or down a bit so that the sunglasses would not interfere with the shelving. 2. two more command hooks were put on, dowel rods
were cut to length and spray painted, and tiny balls of sticky tack applied. 17. an upside-down hook can hold a wreath in place. directions on how to make this work at the prettydubs.com 18. and a small hook nestled on top of a doorframe can hold banners and bunting. i messed and fussed with inconspicuous ways
to hang the garlands for a long time until i came up with this ultra-easy solution… when i don’t have a banner hanging they aren’t visible because the hooks are clear and have a low profile (there is also one in the center of the door frame if i’m doing a drooping number)…
i know, so easy! 19. pair a couple with a baseboard to hang a big quilt. i used damage free hanging hooks (like command brand, found at all big box stores. no affiliation, just like them.) from the front (and side),
you can't see the baseboard or the hook! cool right 20. hang curtains neatly by painting your hooks the same color as your crown molding with jumbo command hooks from amazon. tutorial on how to hang these curtains
(plus info on trimming plastic hooks if they’re too tall for your space) pasted under this video. the only drawback to the process was that using the command hooks with our curtain rod didn’t allow us to use the finials that came with the rod-they were much too big to allow the rod to sit as close
to the wall as required by the hooks. 21. clean up your entertainment center with the help of zip ties and small hooks. the ultimate cord-organizing combo. 1. ease your entertainment center slowly away from the wall. do it gently. 2. then start unwrapping and sorting through the cords.
3. use zip ties to keep cords for each device together making one thick cord. i placed my zip ties about every 6-8 inches. final step : attach small command hooks near the top of your entertainment center to hang the newly zip tied cords to so they cannot be seen once you push the entertainment center back
against the wall. now i can sit on my couch and don’t have to worry about delilah grabbing or pulling them, plus i can easily clean underneath! it is a total win-win for $5 and 30 minutes! 22. or you can seek out hooks designed specifically for holding cords. find a video link under this video
to get more details related to this solution. 23. improvise a paper towel holder with two hooks and some spare wire. good if you don’t want to buy a special paper towel rack for the garage but happen to have some extra materials laying around. the bedroom
24. basic but beautiful (and useful). hang costume jewelry on a corkboard. 25. or just along the sides of a shelf. or on your wall, or the back of your closet door. 26. hate the way the white plastic looks? spray-paint your hooks gold. more inspiration. including info on how to use washi tape for
a cool cube border. at ourfifthhouse.com 27. or coat them in some glittery mod podge. 1. mix the glue and glitter together. i used a ratio of 2:1 glue to glitter. 2. paint the glue/glitter mixture onto the 3m hooks. allow a couple minutes between coats of the mixture for the hooks to dry some.
i did 5 coats to ensure the hooks were completely covered with glitter. once done, wait at least an hour before hanging. 28. painting plastic hooks can help your decorations look more finished. i mean, if you know they’re command hooks, they’ll still look like command hooks. but they won’t stand out quite as much. 29. “hammered metallic†spray paint
can make them look more, well, like metal. you only need: four 3m sticky hooks cost $4 rust-oleum hammered spray paint cost $7 and basic spray painting skill. 30. have lots of time on your hands? decoupage your hooks. 31. give yourself some extra shelving
in a small dorm room by hanging a spice rack on your wall. spice racks (like this one $9.99 and this one $13.79) tend to be prettier than bathroom shower caddies, but those work too. 32. use hooks to hang baskets on the wall. the perfect spot for kids to turn
in their homework folders every day. 33. diy a fun party game for your next get-together. it could also just be a fun way to hang kids’ artwork. 34. make your own affordable photo backdrop for a wedding, birthday party, or random special occasion.
35. hang a dowel between two hooks for pretty washi tape storage. this would also work with spools of ribbon, if you’re the type to build a gift-wrapping station. 36. get the perfect macram㩠creation spot with the same dowel-and-two-hooks trick. (for those awesome people that macram㩠wall hangings.)
and, 37. position buckets on the side of the kids’ craft table (or your grown-up work desk). •sand down table, rinse with water and let dry •spray paint entire table holding can about 10 inches away. may need two coats. •once table is dry, fasten hooks
on the side and add buckets. super simple and super cute! done. as always, comment this video before you leave or press like and share button if you don’t have a minute or two. don’t leave subscribe button un-checked if you never visit this channel before and see you again later.
