apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Blomus has a lot of nice stainless steel key holders. We have this one, http://tinyurl.com/2s5gmq and I really like it.

How does the Charles and Marie keyholder mount to the wall? Is it adhesive or actual hardware? There aren't any details on the site.

These are another option...

I think they make them in non-magnetic, too.

You could also just get some of those, I think they're called "cup hooks"--essentially little hooks, so they'd be unobtrusive. If you're into DIY, you could screw a few of these into a plain painted block of wood (or something else fittingly modern) and make a key holder.

Oh, and since you asked, I hang my keys on a very non-modern key holder! Brass shaped like a teapot! :)

i just hang mine on a nail on the wall near the door. i thought about buying a hook, but i dunno, this is simpler.

licnell,
if you look at the charles and marie keyholder closely you'll see that at two points along the slot there is a circle drilled out. the screw goes through this circle and into the wall.

Nick, You're absolutely right about key holders having animal motifs. When I moved into my loft it had two key holders already on the wall: one of dogs, one of cows. I've also seen kitties and rabbits in my search for a better hook system. I'm about to go with Shaker pegs (though lemonpie definitely has a point.)

I bought something similar in silver from The Container Store a few years ago for $20 (key holder, mail slot, pic frame)

this is my key holder of choice. sadly they're out of stock but they said they'd be back this month:

Just a thought: every time I look at wall mounted key holders I think about what will happen when I inevitably walk into them accidentally. Don't get anything too spiky.

A long time ago I had my kids paint a wooden board with a design (whatever they wanted) and then hammer nails partway into it. We hung it up to hold keys.

I have a long, skinny hallway, with no room for a table. I use this:
http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/20099788

It has a groove on top for mail or art, and the hooks will hold other things besides keys.

I have a white narrow shelf from Pottery Barn, it's only 3" deep and length they come different sizes. I painted it the color of the wall and placed on it same depth bamboo boxes from Container Store - which actually where originally designed to be drawer organizers, but I adopted them for different purpose. I love it because the bamboo boxes look like they float and they hold keys, phones, sunglasses and wallets and it cost a fraction of the more elaborate designs. If you are clumsy this option won't be for you. :-)

i keep my keys hanging on the deadbolt handle. Since I live by myself, if i'm touching the deadbolt that means i'm leaving or coming home - so really, it's the perfect reminder and closest location.

I have a small chrome hook from Osh (you can get them at any hardware store) it's actually pretty nice. I believe it was origionally for the bathroom but it works great in the little 4" wide spot between my door and front window. Not to mention you can stack two or three of them on top of eachother to have more space. Try this one ... Lowes hooks

if you would like a more bowl-like receptacle you could try hanging one or two of the below on something like jenc mentioned.

thanks mscot!

my door locks from the inside as well as the outside so i leave my keys hanging in the door. i love it because i rarely lose my keys in my house!

Plug a few of these knobs on the wall turned upside down and they are perfect for hanging keys. The groove keeps keys or anything else from going anywhere. Pluse they are cheap and stylish.
