Often it’s the simple things in life that provide the most value but go unnoticed. The same could be said for household accessories. One of the most useful yet underused products found in the home may just be the shower ring. Beyond hanging a shower curtain on move-in day, or swapping an old one out for a new one, it’s easy to get the fabric in place and not give these small hooks a second thought. While shower rings do a great job of keeping moisture at bay and privacy a priority in the bathroom, there is so much more they are good for.
This project requires only a small amount of time and a little creative effort. Transform a shower ring into a brand new organizational tool in the home. From hanging pots and pans to organizing jewelry, these tiny yet durable products can provide just the space needed to keep life simple. Never lose a scarf in the closet again or create an entirely new organizational system for shorts with nothing more than a shower ring. These budget-friendly items are also easy to replace and will not require excessive spending to achieve great results.
Organize jewelry with S-hook shower ringsA great jewelry collection makes it easy to accessorize any outfit at a moment’s notice. However, not being able to find just the right necklace, bracelet or pin in a tangled mess of chains only adds to stress-levels. Keep jewelry organized by hanging a few S-hook shower rings over a tension bar secured inside a wooden picture frame. The shower rings are easy to move around as needed but keep jewelry separated and unfavorable tangles out of the realm of possibility.
Use S-hook rings to hang pots and pans Digging through cabinets for pots and pans can take the shine off of enjoying a cooking experience. Instead of guessing where they may be, organize cookware with a collection of S-hooks hung from a tension bar on the wall. Once the hooks are in place, pots and pans can be threaded onto the hook by the handle. This strategy takes only minutes to put in place and keeps cookware visible and available the moment that it is needed.
Hang scarves up with shower ringsWhen the fall season rolls around, or it is time to add an elegant accessory to an outfit, a colorful scarf can be just what you needed. While a bundle of scarves means plenty of options, finding just the right one at the back of the closet can be far less exciting. Instead of letting scarves find their way into closet corners and onto floors, organize them by hanging them on shower rings. The plastic version that clips through shower curtains can also be easily clipped onto the bottom bar of a hanger. Once in place, slip a scarf through each individual shower ring and leave the stress of searching far behind.
Hang shorts on shower ringsShorts are a stylish way to keep cool in the summer, but storing them when they aren’t being worn is not always a simple task. Leave drawers and closet shelves out of the equation and instead, turn to S-hook shower rings for keeping shorts organized and easy to find. Slip a collection of S-hook shower rings over the closet bar and hang a pair of shorts on the end of each by the belt loop. This keeps shorts wrinkle-free and ready to wear at a moment’s notice.
Use shower rings to hang dish towelsIt’s unlikely that a day goes by when a dish towel isn’t used in the kitchen. These simple swatches of fabric make themselves useful when it comes to cleaning up messes, drying hands and giving a countertop a quick shine. While dish towels are extremely useful, they tend to hold moisture which can lead to bacteria growth and unpleasant odors over time. Help dish towels stay dry and fresh for longer by hanging them on S-hook shower rings in the kitchen. Loop the ring over a tension bar, and hang the dish towel from the other end. This strategy makes it easy to find a dish towel when it’s needed, helps them dry quickly and keeps them up off the counter.
Use shower rings to hang shower accessories Shower caddies are helpful accessories in the bathroom when it comes to keeping soaps, shampoos, and razors organized and within reach. Unfortunately, they’re often designed to sit on a flat surface which can lead to grime and mildew buildup over time. Keep caddies off the countertop by hanging them from the shower head or tub faucet with shower rings instead. A plastic shower hook will do the trick. Use one or two horizontally to keep a caddie connected to the tub faucet by looping it around the metal and the caddie handle. A single ring will let the caddie swing freely from the shower head.
Use shower rings to hang brasWhen it comes to feminine apparel, bras are a basic yet essential accessory that most women tend to keep tucked away in drawers. While this method has long been used to keep bras stored and out of sight, this supportive piece of apparel will last longer if hung up and allowed to maintain its shape. Instead of struggling with awkward hanger dimensions, clip a few plastic shower rings from bars mounted in a bathroom or closet instead. Simply hang bras from the shower hooks by looping straps through the plastic. This strategy is a sure way to keep bras in better shape for longer and make them easy to locate as well.
Create more closet space with shower rings A closet stuffed with hangers is generally helpful for getting clothes off the floor, but inevitably, there are never enough to accommodate the collection of apparel. Adding shower hooks to the bottom bar of each hanger is a cost-effective and strategic way to add more space to the closet without having to purchase additional hangers. Use each shower ring as a place to hang an item of clothing and watch a single hanger accommodate several shirts or sets of pants at a time. Looping tags or belt loops through the plastic shower rings can be a good way to ensure that items won’t end up on the floor.
