| You've already experienced the pleasure of having convenient towel hooks in your bathroom. Handy hooks keep your towels and change of clothing up off the floor, ensuring that they are dry and clean when you come out of a shower. Your decorative hooks even add to the decor subtly and pleasantly. Did you know that you can get even more bang for your buck, though, by incorporating a towel hook or two into other areas of your home? Here are six ways to put an already favored hardware item to even better use around the house. |

Decorative Hooks |
- Poolside: Just like in a bathroom, pool and patio decks get wet quickly and unexpectedly. Using decorative towel hooks, you can keep towels safe and dry off the floor and out of direct splashing range. This is also a good location for a change of clothing and your purse complete with cell phone or a magazine that you want away from the water. Chrome hooks will fit in well with the fresh, cool atmosphere of a pool deck.
If you have your laundry drying rack outdoors, then a towel hook is great for supporting a small basket filled with drying rack clips. This is invaluable when you have an armful of laundry, and you need somewhere to keep those useful clips.
- Garden Space: While we're outside, why not update your garden for convenience as well? A set of bronze hooks in the garden will work great for hanging all those items you use frequently while getting knee-deep in soil. Keep a pair of work gloves, apron, and sun hat right against a garden wall so you are well prepared to get to work. Also hang gardening tools, buckets, hoses and other garden essentials right at your fingertips.
- Kitchen: You are going to love how convenient multiple sets of hooks can be around the kitchen. Moms and dads of every type will appreciate a convenient spot for hanging shopping bags, oven mitts, dishtowels, decorative items, signs, aprons, baby bibs and more. Be sure to place your decorative hooks all over the kitchen in strategic locations so you are never searching for a towel when you need it most. Bronze hooks are warm and will blend in nicely with a rustic kitchen, while chrome hooks will just add more pop to a modern motif.
- Mudroom: This is one area that you might have thought of already, especially if you are a little more creative with your decor options. A front hall or mudroom is actually an ideal location for a set of decorative towel hooks because there are so many uses on this one area. Hang up coats, scarves, hats, bags, you name it. If you wear it when going out, it can probably be hung up on a towel hook for quick accessibility as you run out the door.
- Kids' Bedroom: Here is another room that can benefit tremendously from a few quality towel hooks. Use them for everything from robes to sweatshirts, hats, accessories, and more. If you want to get really organized, plan ahead and hang out tomorrow's clothing on individual hooks for each child. This can save you a huge chunk of time (and frustration) in the morning.
- Laundry Room: Finally, the laundry room is an ideal candidate for this tiny yet impacting organizational tool. Hang laundry baskets that are not in use, laundry bags for delicate items and collapsible drying racks. Use hooks for spot remover pens, downy balls, and other smaller items. Along the same lines as the outdoor laundry clip basket, you can also hang a container on one of these decorative towel hooks to keep all those little but useful items organized and at hand.
