Command hooks are a genius idea! I'm always trying to find new ways to increase storage, and these little guys are so versatile.

Another one of my favourites is using curtain rods for extra closet storage. If you have a narrow wardrobe, those thin curtain rods can add an extra level for shirts or dresses without taking up any valuable floor space. They're cheap, easy to install, and make such a big difference!

Command Hooks are amazing - so versatile! I've used them to hang tea towels, aprons and oven mitts in the kitchen.

I also love the curtain rod idea! Especially for those with a penchant for dresses and skirts - great for keeping them wrinkle-free too! And another bonus is being able to see all your outfit options at a glance.

I've used stick-on wall hooks on a variety of surfaces - painted plasterboard, painted wood paneling, and even slightly textured tiles .

For recommendations, I'd go for the Command brand - they have a great range of styles and sizes to suit different needs. Their decorative hooks with the gold or silver finish are especially nice if you want something a bit more stylish. Just make sure to follow the instructions carefully when applying them, and keep an eye on the weight limits for whatever you're sticking up.

I've had some luck taking them off and reusing them too, as long as the tabs don't break when removing. Definitely recommend!
