As Professional Organizers we’re all about being intentional about how you store things. The garage, laundry room, or utility closet are often places that need help. These are areas where long handled tools, long cords and hoses often create hassle and unsightly piles taking up valuable floor space. Utilizing hooks help take advantage of vertical wall space and group like items together.

Know your options

There are 3 general options to choose from:

• Individual hooks
• Modular options where you install a mounting strip and snap in different hooks
• Pre-designed strips of hooks

In all cases, hooks come in all different lengths and shapes to manage the variety of items you have.

Things to Hang

• Brooms & mops
• Shovels, rakes, yard tools
• Vacuum hoses and wand extensions
• Hoses, outdoor extension cords
• Ladders

Benefits

• Use your vertical space to lift your tools up, freeing up valuable floor space
• You can use the entire wall, not just the ground level
• Hanging tools keep the handles separate for easy access
• Dedicated hooks make maintenance and access easier, keeping the storage spaces neater and functional.

Here are some examples:
