Being organized means giving everything a place. But not everything belongs in a bin or on a shelf. Here are three quick ways to clear your kitchen clutter using hooks!
1. Use hooks to hang brooms and mops. I hang mine in the laundry closet that’s just off the kitchen for easy access. These are just simple “S” hooks that were in the closet when we moved in.
2. Use a hook for your purse. I love having my purse near the door without it sitting on a kitchen chair or (heaven forbid) on the counter.
3. Use a hook to hang your dishwashing gloves. I learned this trick from Organized Jen – it’s so much better than leaving them draped over the faucet each evening!
If hooks aren’t your thing, here are a few ways to corral the clutter using baskets!

I love command hooks! They are in use in so many places around the house. Great idea for the S hooks, though. We have some wire shelves in the garage, and a few S hooks would be perfect!

Oh if only I’d read this sooner… my mop definitely needs to find a hook because my current arrangement isn’t working says the lady who got smacked in the head with her mop handle this morning. I think it would also be good to hang my brooms in the garage. I use hooks for my aprons, hooks for our bags and hooks for towels.

Yeah…that’s exactly why my broom is hanging on that hook. I used to stick it between the washing machine and the wall, and I got really tired of random broom attacks. 🙂

I like to use hooks as well Whitney. Sarah at Thrifty Decor Chick taught me about using the hooks that hold draperies back as basic hooks. I have my four 31 totes on a drapery hook in my garage and I also use these deep hooks to hang my scarves on in my closet. It really keeps them organized!!
