Ideas for Shelving Hooks for Kitchen Storage

Hanging Cups

• Rather than placing your cups flat on the surface of your cupboards, use shelving hooks to store them. Mount the hooks someplace handy, like the underside of your cupboards or the underside of a shelf. Then simply hang your cups from the hooks by the handles. This not only makes it easy to grab cups quickly, but also to allows you to show off quirky and unique cups, adding flair to your kitchen.

Hanging Hand Towels

• In kitchens, people often hang hand towels on the handle of the over door or over the sink edge. However, another convenient way to store hand towels is on shelving hooks. Using shelving hooks to hang hand towels means you won’t have to reach for your oven door, which likely opens when you pull the towel off the handle quickly, or for your sink, where the hand towel can create a messy look.

Hanging Cooking Utensils

• Large wooden spoons, spatulas and other such cooking utensils often have a small hole at the end of the handles for hanging. Rather than storing your cooking utensils in a drawer, use shelving hooks to hang them on the wall near your stove. You can even hang pans from hooks. That way, they are within easy reach when you’re cooking. Hanging oversized wooden cooking utensils also serves the dual role of decoration in country- or rustic-themed kitchens.

Storing Fruits and Vegetables

• If you like to display your fruits and vegetables, rather than storing them in the crisper of your fridge, shelving hooks can come in handy. Attach a hook to your ceiling and place a hanging basket on it. If your basket doesn’t have a chain lead, hook it to a piece of chain link using an S hook, then hook the other end of the chain to your shelving shook, so that you don’t have to reach very high up to put or take things from your hanging basket.
