Well, Command hooks are your answer! Not only are they inexpensive, they come in all kinds of colors, sizes and strengths now, even for wet areas and outdoors, and they are easy to find and use.

10. Utilize the doors under your bathroom (or kitchen) sink.

As a pro organizer, one of the biggest mistakes I see people do with this space is not use every inch of space they can. And that includes using the inside of cabinet doors!

Command hooks can be used to hold a hairdryer or curling iron, but you can also hang small baskets or bins right from the Command hooks to store everything from hair accessories to cleaning supplies.

And because Command strips come off cleanly with no nail holes, these are perfect to use as a renter or in a dorm!

8 Comments on 15 clever ways to use Command hooks!

  1. I love Command hooks! As a renter, I have found them to be such a versatile product that is now used throughout my home. I use some for hanging measuring cups inside the kitchen cupboard, holding my quilting rulers on the side of my sewing table, on the sewing machine to hold my small snip scissors and one for the small quilting ruler, in the bathroom cupboard, and under the kitchen sink. Thanks so much for all these tips. They have saved so much space for me.

  2. Hi Pam, I LOVE your organizing tips. I love the command hooks, but they can get expensive when one is pinching pennies. Is there anything else that can be used instead of the Command Hooks?

    • Hi Brenda! Depending on how permanent your hangings will be, you can also use Velcro strips. I used big rolls of them from the dollar store, Wal-mart or Joann Fabrics (where I would use a coupon), etc. that had an adhesive back when I created my flannelboard pieces as a children’s librarian. It holds really well, but since it is an adhesive backing, it is hard to peel back off and could damage your surface. But the good thing is you can use exactly the amount you need because you cut it yourself, so there is no waste. Here’s my affiliate link to it on Amazon so you can see what I mean: https://amzn.to/2WbiUFe

  3. Hi Pam, I didn’t even realize how useful these command hooks are. Will bookmark your page to come back to for more ideas!
