20 DIY Wall Hooks — Organize And Declutter

It’s tempting to come home after a long day and toss your coat on an armchair. The thing is, that armchair will (very) quickly become a coat closet with shoes piled around it and more than one coat draped across. 

This kind of disorganization not only looks chaotic but can eventually lead to anxiety and stress for the people living with it.

If the problem is a lack of closet space, consider mounting some hooks to the wall to create a make-shift organizing space.

Conclusion

There is enough clutter lin life between work, bills, kids, and all of your other mounting responsibilities. Your home should be an escape from that stress.

Adding small things, like adding simple hooks to the wall, to create a cleaner, more organized home will have lasting benefits for your mind – and your overall aesthetic.

Also, doing the project yourself will allow you to customize the organization for what you need (and how you want it to look) and it will save you some serious money because the same system at a big box store will cost you at least double what a DIY project will cost you.
