    Wall hooks are those final little accessories that can complete the look of your bathroom, hallway, kitchen or any room where you need more functionality and aesthetics. They are a great way to keep your space tidy and uncluttered. And today you can find them in various different shapes, designs and finishes that you no longer have to stick to boring hooks that may or may not match the design of your room. 

    The hooks for your towels, kitchen utensils, bathrobes or anything else can be the ‘wall jewellery’ that will complete your interior design. If you’re looking for modern wall hooks but aren’t sure where to start, here are several ideas.

    Hook Types

    Before you buy anything, think of how you will use it. Some hooks that have for example an S-shape may work excellent for heavier things such as jackets or other clothes, while rounded hooks are better for lighter pieces of clothes. The type matters also because it will determine where you can hang it. For instance, a ceiling type hook can’t be hanged on a wall. Just like you can’t use a simple, plastic hook on the ceiling. There are many different types of hooks, such as utility, removable, over-the-door, S-shape, peg style, coat and so on.

    Button

    These look just as their name suggests. Usually, they have a nice finish and are ideal for the walls in your bathroom or the kitchen. Their elegant design is made to be used for hanging towels and things that don’t weigh more than 5kg. Ideally, these hooks will do a great job for bedrooms where you need to hang a light robe or clothes when you change.

    Concrete Wall Hooks

    If your home is designed in that modern industrial style, then you will surely need modern wall hooks that will match your interior. Concrete wall hooks are unique because of their finish, but don’t let the material fool you, since most of them can endure weight up to 5 kg. If you have a modern bathroom with a minimalist design, these hooks are an excellent choice for your towels. If you want something unique for your sleek and contemporary kitchen, go with a concrete wall hook where you’ll hang kitchen towels and other essentials. Their modern design can easily match monochromatic rooms where you need to make a contrast with smaller pieces without disrupting the concept.

    Mirror Hook

    If you need something extra to jazz up any room in your home, go for mirror hooks. They’re usually made of aluminium and strong powder coating and are excellent for everyday use. Even though they look sleek and modern, they’re functional and very practical. They can be easily mounted in the hallway where you can hang your jackets and bags. No matter the style of the room, mirror hooks are great for mixing and matching with other colours since they can easily blend and won’t disrupt the concept of the room.

    S-shape

    You will not be able to miss S-shaped hooks due to their “S” shape. They have been used for decades in butcher shops for hanging carcasses. Today, they can be also found in modern kitchens. The good thing is that you can find various designs of these hooks that you can use throughout the house. They are made of various materials, from plastic to iron. You can find hand-made, unique S-shape hooks that can endure various weighs and can be used in the kitchen, hallway, bathroom (for towels but also shower curtains) and any other part of your home.

    Colour & Finish

    When choosing the colour, consider the room where you want to mount the hooks and its overall interior design. If you’re looking for hooks for your kid’s room, choose ones in a playful colour (let them choose their favourite colour) so they can match the theme and the bright colours. The market offers various finishes such as brass, copper, concrete, aluminium, wood, plastic and whatnot. The finish can be shiny or matte, depending on your preferences. For instance, if your kitchen faucets are in black matte, you can get wall hooks in the same colour and finish.

    Match & Mismatch the Hooks with Your Interior Design


    The room design will determine the type of hook you should get. But, you don’t have to stick to certain rules. If you like certain hooks and they are a complete mismatch for your kitchen or bathroom, you can still get them and add versatility to your space. For instance, if your kitchen is in a French provincial style and it’s all white, you can get black modern hooks that will bring a little contrast to the whole place. Or, you can add colourful hooks in different shapes in your hallway and break the monochromatic minimalist look. It all comes down to your taste and preferences.
