Many of us had to, being late for work or school, frantically looking for the keys to the apartment in the hallway.

Features and types of housekeepers
The housekeeper itself can be conditionally attributed to furniture. There are many types of housekeepers. These can be regular key hooks or specially equipped shelves or cabinets. Such devices allow you to keep the keys in the same place, which is very convenient. This is especially important for those who are not distinguished by special pedantry, as well as for scattered people.
The housekeeper can be a wonderful gift for the holiday. Presenting it for the housewarming will be relevant. But store options are often quite expensive, so you can make such a product with your own hands. With imagination and using available tools, you can build a suitable place for storing keys in a matter of minutes. The manufacturing process does not require special material costs, time or effort. And for creative individuals, it will bring a lot of positive emotions.

Hanging and tabletop options
You can quickly build a table key holder yourself. Even a small jar or box can be a good place to store bundles. Such products should be placed in a convenient place in the corridor, for example, use a shelf for shoes or a cabinet as a stand. In the event that the corridor is very small and there is little space, you can hang such an organizer on the wall.
These structures can be closed and open. Open key holders look very organic in the interior. In aesthetic terms, such a product will perfectly fit into the design of the room. Modern trends suggest using hangers and various holders as an accessory for storing keys. An excellent place will be a special stand on which the table key holder is placed.

The easiest way is to use a board as an open housekeeper and stuff hooks on it. Such a product is easy to carry, it can be attached in any convenient place in the hallway. This option is more suitable for small rooms, allowing you to save the much-needed space in the room. A shelf adapted for small items would be a good option. In addition, you can store not only key bunches on it, but also use it as a place to store umbrellas, gloves and shoe care products.
In large organizations, you can see large stands with specially adapted hooks or key slots. Usually they are signed, which helps to quickly navigate and choose the necessary bundle for each specific room. A similar option can be used at home, for example, in the country. On such an impromptu stand, you can hang hooks indicating where the keys for the barn, gate, garage are located.

In a private house or apartment, it is better to choose the option of a wall shelf by placing it near the front door. Considering that strangers can come to the house, it is worth considering an option with a built-in lock or other secret. This will allow the keys to always be in place, but unauthorized people will not be able to take them.

A competitor to such a closed device can be a key holder, which is hung on the wall or placed in the most convenient place. The key holder in the corridor can be of different shapes and sizes. Adapted small shelves, drawers and other structures will make storage of keys convenient.
