The Best Hooks To Maximize Storage Spaces

By , About.com Guide

I love to put hooks on the inside of door to hold towels, dry cleaning, the next days' clothes or small appliances like blow dryers and curling irons. I install them under cabinets to hold mugs and glassware and on the wall next to the stove to hold kitchen towels and cooking utensils like spatulas and slotted spoons.

They are useful in virtually every room in your home. This guide to hooks takes you through each kind from the least expensive to the highest priced.

I like these old fashioned coat rack hooks form the Whittington Collection. They will look right at home in an older houses's entry way, in the mudroom or by the back door. Bonus: They come in my favorite color, orange.
