10 Creative Uses for Stick On Velcro in Home Organisation

We’re all familiar with how VELCRO® is used as fasteners on shoes, but you might not be aware of the dozens of other applications that it’s perfect for – including use around the home. At MPD Hook & Loop, we’re passionate about helping you organise your home with ease and efficiency. Our range of stick-on VELCRO® Brand products offer versatile solutions for tidying up your space. In this blog, we’ll share 10 creative uses for stick-on VELCRO® in home organisation, demonstrating how this famous fastener can make your life simpler and more organised.

1. Tidy Up Your Cables

Many of us would agree that one of the most common issues in modern homes is cable clutter. Whether it’s behind your TV, under your desk or around your entertainment system, cables can quickly become a tangled mess if not tidied up properly. To ease your frustration, stick-on VELCRO® strips are a fantastic solution for this problem. Simply attach a strip to the back of your furniture or along the wall, and secure your cables neatly in place. This not only keeps your home looking tidy but also prevents potential hazards associated with loose cables.

2. Organise Kitchen Utensils

Kitchen counters can easily become cluttered with various utensils and devices, but by using stick-on VELCRO®, you can create a custom organisation system that suits your kitchen layout. Attach VELCRO® strips to the inside of your cabinet doors or along the backsplash to hold items like measuring spoons, spatulas and other small tools. This keeps them within easy reach while freeing up counter space for preparing food – particularly handy if you have a small kitchen.

3. Secure Rugs and Mats

Rugs and mats that slide around can be both annoying and dangerous. Sticky VELCRO® strips can be used to keep them securely in place; apply the hook side to the floor and the loop side to the underside of your rug or mat. This prevents slipping and keeps everything exactly where you want it, making your rugs and mats more safe to walk on.

4. Hang Picture Frames

Traditional picture hanging methods can be tricky and often leave holes in your walls. Fortunately, stick-on VELCRO® strips offer a damage-free alternative. Simply attach the strips to the back of your picture frames and press them onto the wall. This method is especially useful for renters or those who like to change their decor frequently, as it allows for easy repositioning without damaging the walls.

5. Organise Remote Controls

We all know the feeling of not being able to find the TV remote; they can so easily get lost in the depths of your sofa or end up scattered around the living room. Save time on searching and keep them in one place by attaching stick-on VELCRO® to the side of your coffee table or entertainment unit and to the back of each remote. This way, you always know where to find them, and they are conveniently stored within reach.

6. Create a Custom Tool Board

For the DIY enthusiasts and hobbyists, a custom tool board can be a game-changer. Use sticky VELCRO® strips to create a versatile and easily adjustable tool board. Attach the hook side to a board and the loop side to your tools. This means you can easily arrange and rearrange your tools as needed, keeping everything organised and accessible in your garage or workshop.

7. Label and Organise Storage Containers

Storage containers are great for keeping items organised, but it can be hard to remember what’s inside each one, so why not use stick-on VELCRO® strips to create a labelling system? Attach a strip to the front of each container and use the corresponding loop strip on interchangeable labels. This makes it easy to update labels as the contents of your containers change, so you can make sure that everything stays neatly categorised.

8. Manage Office Supplies

A clutter-free desk is great for productivity and creates a more pleasant working environment. Use sticky VELCRO® strips to organise home office supplies like pens, scissors, notepads and technology. Attach Velcro to the sides of your desk, inside drawers or even on the wall to keep items off the surface but still within easy reach.

9. Wardrobe Organisation

Wardrobes can quickly become chaotic, especially if you have a lot of accessories. If you find yourself struggling to find your favourite items, VELCRO® strips can be used to create a personalised organisation system for your closet. Attach Velcro to the inside of the closet door or along the walls to hold items like belts, scarves and hats. You’ll not only be maximising your storage space but also making it easier to find and access your accessories when you’re in a rush.

10. Secure Decorative Items

Decorative items like vases, trinkets and candles can be easily knocked over, especially in homes with pets or children. To stop this from happening, you could use sticky VELCRO® strips to secure these items in place. Attach a strip to the bottom of each item and the corresponding strip to the surface where it sits, as this prevents accidental tipping while still allowing you to move and rearrange your decor as desired.
