The last time I blogged about making clutter look good, I recommended using a tray to hold your stuff.
That way you’re utilizing your horizontal space well.
But in order to make the most of your VERTICAL space, which most people overlook, you need the second secret.
What is it?
Use hooks!
Here are a few great examples:

Kitchen or Entryway:
and my personal favorite…
Bathrooms:
get rid of those towel bars and use hooks instead!
this is a cool idea too… sew loops onto your towels in different colors to tell them apart for each person:

You can even retrofit your towel bar by hanging some S hooks onto it as this person did:

Just a warning, Jennifer– we use a hook for one of our bath towels (limited room for towel bars) in our condo– wet towels hanging this way don’t dry well and tend to smell quickly, so using them this way means more wash!
That’s so true!
