When we are speaking about storage, what usually comes to our minds? Open shelves, dressers, sideboards, wardrobes and other storage units and I can’t say that grids are even on the list. Still grids are among the coolest and easiest ways to add vertical storage space or decor even to the smallest nook. Let me share some ideas on both, and you’ll want a grid at once, I promise!
Grid Decor
Grids are great to decorate a space, attach one over your desk and turn it into an inspiration board or a gallery wall. The idea is quite simple: you take a pic and attach it to the grid with a clothespin or even a hook or in some other way. Add lights, your personal pics, signs and other pieces that can personalize your creation. Such a grid can be hung not only over a desk but also in a kitchen, kids’ space, bedroom and other rooms, and the number of objects you may attach is really big.

Grid Storage
Gardens
Create a gorgeous indoor garden using a grid! It can be a garden with fresh herbs to have them at hand, a garden with various greenery or just a stand for a climbing plant to refresh the nook. If you are attaching planters, make sure they are secure or just go for some shelves and put your pots on them. You can even go for an unusual solution: hang a grid over the dining table and suspend planters to it to create a suspended garden.

Organizing
Utility rooms, kitchens and other functional spaces will benefit from a grid on the wall as there you can place hooks for supplies, towels and other stuff. The same goes to craft room organization, especially if it’s a small one, and to entryways as you can hang your keys and bags and glasses there. You can also turn a grid into a clothes rack in the entryway, it will look very lightweight and is still sturdy. My favorite idea is shoe storage with a grid – just place them there using heels, they will become lovely part of your decor.
