DIY: Necklace Display as Art

May 22, 2012

You should have seen my necklaces a month ago. Since moving into our new home a few months ago I didn’t have a place to store my necklaces so they were just a big pile of scrambled necklaces sitting on my bathroom counter. Daughter would pull, I couldn’t find what I wanted… it was a hot mess.  I used to hang them on these awesome Command hooks in brushed nickel (a great, affordable option!) however after seeing Niki’s display I knew I had to up the ante with my hooks. She used mostly knobs but I went a little bigger as you can see below. I found all of these at Anthropologie. It cost me close to $100 for all; a totally worthy indulgence because I look at is as art in my closet and man does it make me happy!

A close-up of my new bubble necklaces (details here), plus these hooks. Adoring the owl, my monogram A and stripes!

Necklaces in relationship to where I hang my clothes (on these amazing hangers). Here’s all my dresses (skirts further right), organized by swim/super casual, work appropriate, nights out (notice the sequins!) and a variety of LBDs.

Do you have any other creative ideas to display your necklaces? Share here!

    Love it Alyson! I bought three owl hooks several months ago but have yet to hang them. Such the procrastinator. I’ve debated painting them which is part of the hold up. Now I’m even more anxious to get them up!

      haha you totally have to get them hung already. You can always change the color down the line. :)

    I do the same thing! I think it makes it easier to find your necklaces, and a fun display of what you own.

      so much much more fun!

    That looks awesome! I love how all the hooks are different – I did the same thing in my kitchen with Anthropologie cabinet knobs… yea, it was a little expensive too, but it just looks so darn cute! Also, random, but I like how all the hangers in your closet are the same haha, it makes it look so organized!

      hahah, I just finished making the switch and am SO happy with it. had a million hangers, some of which would dig into my clothes, and this is so much better. Love the idea of swapping our kitchen hardware, too. Bet it looks awesome.

    LOVE this – I have one multiple hook on my wall, but it is getting seriously crowded…think it’s time to buy another! :)

    • ALyson — TAGG

      haha that’s how i feel about the bracelet hangers we both have. i really need a third.

    These are great!  They look perfect in your closet too.  I hang my necklaces on tie hangers.  But your idea is much cuter. 

    • ALyson — TAGG

      heard that was very useful (and more economical). 

  • Chicadvisor

    This is super cute. I have my necklaces hanging too. I find it’s easier to find & see what I have!! 

    • ALyson — TAGG

      so much easier to visualize.

    I wish I had room on a wall to display my necklaces like this…so cute!

    • ALyson — TAGG

      Thanks! Even the most vertical spaces could work but I know, just so happens I have this random little wall inside my closet that’s sort of lost space otherwise.

    it really does look like art! i display my necklaces on one long anthropologie hanger with lots of hooks but i love how you mixed and matched with all the different designs! 

    • ALyson — TAGG

      thanks! I debated using all the same but i couldn’t decide on which, alas the mix!

    Such a cute way to display all your necklaces! And such great necklaces!

    • ALyson — TAGG

      awww, thank you. :)

    great idea alyson! so quirky yet chic, and practical!

    • ALyson — TAGG

      thanks! it’s become my favorite little obsession because it’s so useful and love the visual.

  • Atthepinkofperfection

    Love this Alyson, I may need to do this! Larger necklaces never fit well in my armoir, this is a perfect storage and decorating solution.

    • ALyson — TAGG

      yes, and it’s so much easier to see this way. just be sure each one is safely hung.

    Gorgeous! I think it’s important to have your jewelry out for you to see because if you hide it away, you can forget about them :(

  • snackyjackie

    Cute hooks!! LOVE IT!  Isn’t it great to see everything?  I LOOOOOOVE walking into my closet and seeing my jewelry displayed!  I don’t know if you remember (posted a while back on instagram) but I bought 4 bars from Ikea for $1.99 each and then a few packs of 10 hooks for only .99 each.  So my whole setup was like a little over $10 total and I can keep adding hooks (which of course I have done!)  
    GREAT JOB!!!! :)

    **Oooh here’s a pic of when it all completed – I’ve added quite a bit since then! lol

    • Alyson

      LOVE THIS!!! What an awesome idea and so affordable. My only suggestion is that for some of the heavier necklaces, like the bubble, might be good to balance on two hooks (you’ll see I did that with mine above). Feel like it makes it more sturdy. Just my butting-in two cents. :)

    So pretty… truly looks like art :) I love that the hooks are mix/match!
