Metal Mug Tree

For a more industrial look, consider a metal coffee mug tree. While there are several metal trees available online for purchase, think about how you could repurpose metal items around your home, such as the top of an old coat tree.

Wall Hooks

If you have some open wall space in your kitchen, try adding several hooks to hang mugs and keep the space organized. Just be sure the hooks can hold the weight of the mug. If you change your mind, here’s how to patch holes in drywall.

Towel Bars

Try installing some short towel bars or rails and add hooks, like these from IKEA, for hanging mugs. If you use multiple bars, you can use the bottom bar for coffee pods or tea packets.
