Make life easier; hang a clothes hanger in your kitchen

We can practically hear you think: why would I do that? Sure, there are some tricks that make you go “sure…”, but when you see just how handy this trick is, you’ll definitely give it a go. You’ll probably even wonder why you didn’t think of it sooner because this trick is super practical! Especially for people with little space in their kitchen, this is a true find. All you need is a clothes hanger and a pair of pliers.

It will save you a lot of space and irritation.

Space

Most kitchens don’t have oodles of space. Room for something non-essential? It’s rarely there. With a bit of creativity you can store so many more kitchen items; you just have to be smart about the space you do have. You know those typical standing paper towel holders? They don’t necessarily take up a lot of space, but they’re not very handy either. Plus, the cheap ones often fall over because they’re so light. This is the kind of thing we’re talking about:

In theory, it works like a charm: you roll out a bit of paper and you tear. Unfortunately, these holders are often so light in weight that they’ll topple over unless you’re using two hands. Not the best thing when you just want to grab a quick towel to clean something up. There are much handier solutions!

Wall

You’ve only got limited space on your counter, so the space you do have is valuable. Your coffeemaker and other small appliances reside there permanently, but you want to have space left over to be able to prepare your food. The cabinets are bulging with dishware and food. That’s why it’s handy to hang a couple of things on the walls. Like your paper towel holder! All you need is a screw or a nail to attach you homemade holder to the wall. Don’t want to drill in your wall or only got a tiled wall? Then you can use a plastic or metal towel hook. Just attach it to the wall through the use of a sticker. Besides this, you only need a clothes hanger and a pair of pliers.
