The playful, yet practical nature of these [wall hooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velto) makes them fun for the whole family! These Paint Brush Coat Hooks fit fairly flush to the wall and would therefore be an easy incorporation into even the tightest of hallways. These unique hooks were designed to be part of the Object Abuse exhibition, which is taking place at London's KK Outlet. **Implications** - Repurposing [common household objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dpartment) -- such as these adorable [paint brush hooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woset) -- is a smart business venture for companies looking to appear creative, yet eco-conscious.
