So let me begin by saying that command hooks are probably one of the most useful things you can have around the house.
Like seriously, you can use them to hang up decorations or appliances, and keep things organized.
They keep things out of the way and provide a fun outlet for your creativity. And honestly, command hook hacks are probably one of the best things to happen to your home.
Below I found some awesome command hook ideas that show how helpful they can be in your life and how you can use them.
They’re practical, but they can also make rooms like your kitchen look so nice. So check out these great uses for command hooks below and see how much easier they make your life.
1. Organized Coffee Station
If you’re a coffee addict like me (ok, I’m not an addict, I just really like the taste of coffee), then this is a great way to keep things organized and ready to-go for your busy daily routine.

2. Cereal Scoop Organization
A fun way to make life a little easier and to keep things together and easy to grab!
Put a command hook on the side of an oatmeal/cereal container and hang your measuring scoop on it. That way you’re not taking too much, but you’re also keeping like-things together (if that makes sense).

3. Hang Your Toothbrushes
Place the hooks sideways and let your toothbrushes hang off the side of the medicine cabinet. It’s a great way for them to dry and stay germ free.

This is probably one of the best ideas ever. Trash gets everywhere on long road trips (I would know, I took way too many road trip from Southern California to Northern California just to see family), and this is a great way to make sure it stays clean in the car.

I thought this was a great idea! I hate it when the trash bag always falls into the trashcan, so using a command hook upside down to hold it in place is an awesome hack!

I found them useful to hang curtain rods. You need the right size for the diameter of the rod. I didn’t want to drill holes for the screws so I just put the hooks up. Works great.
Thanks for letting su know Teresa!
used 2 hooks to attach the cargo net in back of my Prius wagon. Toyota brand hooks to do the same thing were $30 per set
I’ve only had the paint/drywall issue when I tried to remove them incorrectly or too quickly. If I remove them per instructions, I have had no issues. Also worth noting, you should press them in place by hand for at least 30 seconds before using them for the intended purpose. Hope this helps! And thanks for the useful tips – loved them!
Super hacks. Please tell me where you got the cereal storage containers. They’re the straightest (not much wasted space) I’ve seen. Thx.
I hang my measuring cups and spoons insideva cabinet door. Can find them easily.
Have them on many walls & just re-painted. Two tore off drywall when removed. In both cases, I pulled the stretchy tape at a slight angle not straight down as per instructions. That’s the key I’ve learned: pull that stretchy tape straight, straight, straight down. So, I learned to be careful when using them now to allow room below hook with nothing in the way for a straight down pull when it’s time to remove them.
Great idea’s thanks. Definitely using one for trash can for my cats when I clean,their litter, it always slides down. Thank you so much.
I enjoyed the post. The tips are very healthful. Thanks for sharing them.
Command hooks are great…except they took the paint and some drywall off my brand new wall 🙁
Oh no! Thanks for letting me know about this Jes!
Mine too.
