Modern uses that actually work:
- A soft, gauzy canopy over the bed (pure atmosphere, zero practicality, 100% cozy)
- A small plug-in bedside pendant to free up nightstand space
- A hanging plant or wall-hanging bar to create a visual “headboard” effect
3. The Master Bathroom Hook
The bathroom hook is the most interesting one. You don’t usually put heavy lamps or planters in a humid room without a reason. Common historic uses:
- A hanging plant near a window (ferns loved it)
- A small swag light over a vanity or bathtub (plug-in style)
- A hanging drying rack or clothes line hook
Modern ideas:
- A moisture-loving hanging plant to make the bathroom feel spa-like
- A decorative hanging basket with extra towels (if the hook is solid)
- A hanging organizer for lightweight items like loofahs or bath brushes
Just be strict about weight and humidity—bathrooms are not where you push your luck with overloaded hooks.
