If you're looking to maximize storage space in your small home, bringing this decorative yard item inside can be a game changer. Find another place to hang your garden hose, because that simple hose holder is about to get upgraded to a versatile home storage solution that is as beautiful as it is useful. Hose holders come in a variety of styles. For example, the TomCare Solid Metal Hose Hanger can be mounted on a wall and features a fan shaped holder. It has a decorative upright section that prevents the hose slipping off and a number of strong metal bars that run between the wall and the upright as supports. 

Reusing a hose holder is one of the best interior decorating hacks to revamp your space. Put one up in the living room for a stylish hanger for cozy lap blankets and save yourself the effort of refolding them for storage every night. Use one in the entryway by hanging S-hooks on the support bars and use it as a handy bag hanger. They'll be useful in the kitchen in a similar way as a handy utensil hanger that looks gorgeous. 

Spray paint one in the colors of a kids' playroom and use them for keeping hula hoops and skipping ropes out of the way, close enough to grab and use, and easy to pack away. In a bedroom, it can serve as a scarf, shawl, or wrap organizer. Combine it with S Hooks with Multi Use Clips to display hats, caps, and gloves. 

Some hose holders are simple in design and aim for pure functionality. Others are ornate and lend an old-world charm to the space they're used in. Picking one that suits the style and decor of your indoor aesthetic can ensure that the piece fits right in and doesn't look out of place. After all, friends should be complimenting your design genius, not questioning your life choices. 

Another style of holder you can opt for is also wall mounted, but has a simple three bar, triangular holding section, such as the Liberty Garden Decorative Hose Butler. If you mount this upside down in a dining room, it creates a perfect holder for your place mats as the central bar at the bottom stops them from falling, while the two side bars hold them in place. Place a slim strip of wood across the two bars to create a shelf that you can use for a lamp, a couple of potted plants, or a shelf for the books you're currently reading. If you plan to use it in this way, make sure you use a spirit level to get the bars at the same height. If you're using an old metal holder, it will need a thorough cleaning and some genius hacks to remove rust from your garden tools. With a little TLC, it can become useful once more, as well as a stunning addition to your decor and a talking point for visitors.
