Declutter Your Home with Practical Wall Hooks and Racks

Where     do you place wall hooks and cloakrooms?

Wall hooks and coat racks are more than handy, functional     objects.  Most are designed with their     own personality that can add style to any room in your home.  When choosing a wall hook or coat rack, consider     the space available, as well as the number and types of items that will need     to be stored in it.

• The most obvious place for wall hooks and cloakrooms is the     entrance area, as this is where you usually undress from winter clothes when     enjoying the warmth of your home.  It     should be noted that the wardrobe is likely to carry a lot of weight.  So if you choose a wall-mounted option, it     needs to be installed properly (see Tip 4).
• Toilets tend to be tight spaces so you can benefit from using     single wall hooks to store towels, for example.  You can also choose from a range of wall     hooks built into a wall shelf.  These     fit well above toilets or higher up your bathroom wall and can hold towels,     loofahs, clothing, and even necklaces.      The shelf offers additional space for toilet paper, toiletries or     decorative items.
• You have more space to work in the bedroom.  Here you can try a corner unit that has     hooks for clothes, shelves for shoe storage down, and space for extra storage     of important items upstairs.
• If you’re working with a large open space, consider a standing     cloakroom.  These can be placed next to     your couch and offer guests a comfortable place for hats and scarves.  Choosing the right material and the right     color makes this practical piece of furniture a statement in     itself.

How do     you choose the perfect wardrobe for your needs?

Think of your wardrobe as the finishing touch – or an accent     piece.  If you are currently working     with shabby chic decor, a pastel-colored hook or frame with metal parts, for     example, fits this style exactly.  If     you want your wardrobe to be hidden in the background, so to speak, you can     choose a color that will match your walls.      On the other hand, if you prefer clean walls or just want to use     certain pieces of art for your walls, you can use a standing frame.  Plus, this style is mobile.  So if you want to move it to another room,     it’s as easy as picking it up and putting it down.

Think how many coats, scarves, and hats will be hung on your     rack.  Billing family members is pretty     straightforward, but also take into account how many guests you can     accommodate at one time.  This way you     will have a good idea of ??the number of hooks you will need.

Sometimes you have limited space.      For example, if you have a small hall closet and want to try adding a     coat rack, a wall-mounted coat rack is a great option.  This style is literally easy to store away     and offers an average of six hooks (along with some shelf space!).  They are space-saving and fit perfectly     into tiny cabinets.

•         Use plastic drywall anchors Avoid overtightening     – this can cause the anchors to crack.
