Wall Hooks: an essential interior design resource

In the realm of meticulous attention to detail, from the most conspicuous to the most minor elements, lies the key to transforming an ordinary space into something extraordinary. Small as they seem, wall hooks are seemingly insignificant in creating aesthetic and functional areas. These unassuming accessories are not only practical tools for hanging items but also pieces that can enhance or compromise the integrity of your projects. 

Whether you're a decorator or a designer, you must recognize that every job is an opportunity to make a difference and leave a lasting impression on your clients. In this article, we will delve into the world of wall hooks, explore their diverse models, discover how to choose the right ones for each situation, and use them effectively to enhance your projects.

What weight can they support?

It's essential to note that their weight capacity can be affected by factors such as the quality of the installation, the type of wall (drywall, concrete, wood, etc.), and the weight distribution of the object being hung. 

In addition, consider the style and aesthetics of the hooks, as they can either contribute to or clash with the overall design of an interior space. Read the following classification to help you make the right choice.

What are the different types of wall hooks?

• J-shaped: these hooks are curved and ideal for hanging items such as paintings, keys, or bags, depending on their size. While they can be mounted on walls, they also work well on doors, allowing you to save space in smaller rooms.

• Removable: these hooks use strong adhesives to attach to surfaces and are great for hanging lightweight items. They typically hold about 2 pounds (0.9 kg). Their biggest advantage is that you can remove them if you no longer like their placement or need to rearrange a room.

• Ceiling: as the name suggests, these hooks are attached to the top of a room. They are usually made of metal and are screwed into beams or concrete ceilings with special anchors. They can support heavy objects such as hanging lamps, potted plants, or even curtains. Their ability to create focal points and play with height in a room makes them a preferred choice in interior design.

• Peg-style: is perfect for hanging lightweight items such as towels, clothes, or kitchen utensils. Their minimalist design and ability to maintain order make peg-style hooks an invaluable addition to any room.

• S-shaped: these hooks can hold various items, including curtain rods, tools, coats, or kitchen utensils. Their ability to hold multiple items makes them a smart choice, as they come in a variety of materials, from wrought iron to plastic, and in different sizes for different applications.

• Special or utility hooks are designed to hang heavy items such as bicycles, musical instruments, floating shelves, mirrors, and more. Their weight capacity varies greatly depending on their design and purpose, ranging from 20 pounds (9.07 kg) to hundreds of pounds for heavier applications.
