Décor details – whether it’s unusual wall art, quirky souvenirs from your travels or stylish trinkets – might seem modest, but often they're the little things that make a house feel like a home.
Decorative wall hooks, although small and usually inexpensive, don’t only serve a practical purpose, they’re also ideal for adding a bit of flair into oft-neglected little spaces. They can inject some much needed personality into new build homes, give period properties a sense of quirky character, or even function as a piece of wall art in their own right.
Whether you’re looking for somewhere to hang your coats, display your treasured jewellery collection or store your bathroom necessities, wall hooks are guaranteed to jazz up your space for a minimal price.
So, if you’re feeling inspired, read on to discover our roundup of all our quirky favourites - including novelty coat hooks, animal-inspired hooks and cute peg hooks.

We love the mix-match vibe of the different patterns - perfect for an eclectic home filled with unconventional trinkets.

Painted Floating Peg Hooks

If you’ve got a minimalist home you can’t go wrong with a few Scandi coat hooks, and we particularly love these ones from independent Etsy brand, The Little Oak Company.
Hand crafted from prime grade oak in a workshop on the West Pennine Moors, these decorative hooks are finished with a protective coat of matt oil and hand painted with a Frenchic chalk colour of your choice.
Whether you opt for almond white, sage green or any of the other on-trend tones, these hooks will bring a subtle dash of colour to your room, but keep a laid-back, Nordic feel. Install one on its own for a stylish but practical storage solution, or group a few together in quirky patterns to really make a statement.
Turtle Wall Hook
- Buy now from Urban Outfitters (£16.00)
Decorative wall hooks don't get much cuter than this little fellow! While hooks can make a practical addition to a hallway, they can also be used to make a beautiful décor statement in your bedroom, and we reckon this turtle wall hook would look great on a bedroom wall.
Clear your bedroom floor of scarves, jackets and accessories and make use of this adorable, flowery turtle.
Octopus Wall Hook
Although decorative hooks make a fabulous addition to a hallway, they're also great for providing surplus towel storage in your bathroom.
This quirky octopus hook from Amazon is perfect for adding character to a bathroom or en-suite - you can use it to hang hand towels, a dressing gown, or even a wall mounted seagrass storage basket! Made of cast iron, expect a sturdy and practical design, and thanks to the five tentacles, you've got plenty of hanging room.
The rustic bronze surface would work particularly well in a dark green, or navy bathroom - perfect for a dark and moody feel.

Industrial style décor is timeless, and whether your home is already an industrial-look haven or you just have a few factory-inspired touches around your space, these simple but effective decorative coat hooks will fit right in.
Handmade by British company Moa Design in their Devon workshop, these versatile copper hooks are great for hanging keys in a hallway, but we think they look particularly great styled with string bags full of laundry essentials in a utility room.
For a truly rustic industrial feel, you can leave the copper to tarnish over time, or you can request a protective coating to be added, at no extra charge, when you order.
