Not only do they create storage opportunities out of thin air, but these mounts also come in a plethora of sophisticated styles that are, for the most part, affordable. "With wall hooks you can utilize the space available to you by organizing up and using your vertical wall space to keep clutter off of the floor," adds Andy Stansel, Global Business Unit Manager for Command Brand. "Wall hooks not only provide functional components for organizing jackets, bags, and more, but they can also provide decorative elements to an otherwise blank wall." So, what elements are essential to a well-designed hook? For starters, it should be strong. "Sturdiness is the most important aspect of a good wall hook," says interior designer Becky Shea. "I like using hooks made of wood, steel, iron, and ceramic. They're all super durable and highly functional. You mitigate scratching, dinging, breaking, or pulling by using durable materials that are long lasting and utilitarian." Additionally, our experts suggest shopping for wall hooks that can hold more than one thing at a time. "If a hook can handle multiple items at once then that's a bonus," says Sara Barney of BANDD DESIGN. "This way they take up very little space but can clear so much clutter." Searching for a sleek wall hook or two to organize an untidy area of your home? From a leather-strapped stunner to wall-mounted coat hangers and more, here are ten designer-approved hooks that will transform your entryway, closet, or kitchen into a streamlined space in seconds. 01 of 10 Vintage Courtesy of Pottery Barn If you don't have a big enough budget to renovate your entire powder room, swap out your old-fashioned towel rack with an elegant but inexpensive brass-finished hook, like this one.
