I’m excited to announce the start of a new series of posts called Organizing Favourites. On the last Thursday of every month, I will highlight one of my favourite organizing tools, products, or tips and dive into why it is great and the many ways it can be used to maximize space, optimize time, and simplify life. So, if you are ready, let’s get started with the first installment! I can think of no better product to kick off this series than the small but mighty Command Hook.
The Versatility and Benefits of Command Hooks
Without a doubt, Command Hooks are one of the best, most versatile, cost-efficient organizing products out there. I LOVE this product and constantly find new ways to use it in my home. Before highlighting 25 ways to use Command Hooks to organize, let’s take a minute to discuss what makes them so great for organizing.
No longer just the plain, white, plastic hooks that can appear cheap, today’s Command Hooks come in all different sizes and styles making it easy to find one that fits your functional and aesthetic needs. Whether you need a hook, clip, or strip, whether you need it to hold a very light item or up to 7.5 pounds, whether you want white, clear, stainless steel, brushed nickel, satin nickel, slate, or matte black, and whether you prefer a classic rounded or a modern square look, there is a Command Hook out there for you. You can explore all their offerings to find the perfect one for your needs.
Ease of Use and Reusability
Command Hooks are SO quick and easy to use. You peel the stickers off and stick them to the desired surface. It takes one minute and no tools are required. What’s not to love about that? Command Hooks are also very forgiving if you miss the exact place you aimed for, or change your mind about placement, just pull the tab and try again. That’s right, they’re reusable! Which brings me to one of the best features of Command Hooks: when repositioning or removing, no damage is done to the surface. I have used Command Hooks in every apartment and home I have lived in and never once have they damaged a surface. A definite bonus for everyone, but in particular, if you are renting.
The Cost-Efficiency of Command Hooks
Could these things get any better? Actually, they can! On top of their versatility, ease of use, and no-harm reusability, Command Hooks are cost-efficient. Prices vary based on the size, finish, and whether buying in value packages but start as low as around $4.00 for packs of smaller hooks, around $6 for single hooks, $15 for double bathroom hooks, and upwards to $25 for various value packs and everything in between.
Availability and Accessibility
Rounding out the long list of reasons to love Command Hooks is the fact you can find them everywhere: grocery stores, dollar stores, hardware stores, home stores, convenience stores, online, office supply stores, and big box stores.
