I Put a Curtain Rod on My Ceiling, and It Was the Smartest Storage Hack I've Tried
"In an Instagram video, Greer Gagnier shows how a simple curtain rod ( like this one from Amazon) can double as a hanging storage rail when it's mounted to the ceiling or high on a wall. By adding baskets with handles (or S-hooks), you create vertical storage that's both decorative and practical - perfect for items you want easy access to without cluttering counters, cabinets, or pantry floors."
"Next, I took a quick trip to my local thrift store and scored a handful of baskets that blended seamlessly with my existing collection. To hang them, I followed the original recommendation and ordered S-hooks. While the original Instagram post showed some basket handles sliding directly onto the rod, I opted to use hooks exclusively - that way, I can easily remove baskets whenever I need extra storage elsewhere in the house."
A curtain rod mounted to the ceiling or high on a wall can double as a hanging storage rail for baskets, creating vertical storage that keeps counters, cabinets, and pantry floors clear. Baskets with handles can slide onto the rod or hang from S-hooks for easy removal and rearrangement. Choosing a rod with adjustable brackets or ceiling-mount finials increases renter-friendly flexibility and low-commitment installation. Thrifted baskets can blend with existing decor and provide practical corralling for fruit, toys, and miscellaneous items. Ceiling installation above a window or workspace maximizes space and immediately increases basket usefulness and accessibility.
