Raise your hand if you’ve had a hard time finding aesthetically pleasing storage solutions for tight spaces. 

That’s the thing with space-saving gadgets, hooks, and bins: They usually don’t come in cute colors or designs because they’re all about function over form. Your options are typically pretty plain and boring — think, stainless steel, white, or black with few patterns or designs to choose from while shopping. 

I’ve got something that might catch your eye, though, and it’s from none other than Five Below. 

Shop These Cuter Storage Solutions for Your Space

Yep, you heard that right. The retailer is selling a $4 over-the-door hanging hook in the cutest bow shape (major coquette vibes). It also comes in a little bear design that’s just as precious. 

Available for in-store pickup or shipping, these are an easy storage choice for jackets, purses, hats, keys, or whatever else you want to hang. They fit over most standard doors. I would put mine over my closet or bedroom door for extra storage, especially in a dorm or small apartment. While the bear comes in basic black, the bow features a bright red pop of color that creates a fun accent hanging in any space. 

While you’re at it, you might want to pick up these black cat over-the-door hooks that are perfect for Halloween season. 

While they’re not quite as much of a steal, the red bow collar on this kitten is so adorable. Personally, I’d place this one over the door near the front entrance to my home, since it delivers such a fun dose of fall vibes, and I’d use it to hang my purses when I come inside each day. 

When done right, even the most basic storage items have the opportunity to add a little extra character to your space.
