Three stylish ways to store your mask

I asked my friends how they store their face masks at home. These three ideas stood out.
In early March, I stashed my mask in a drawer. Later on, I switched to keeping it in a net bag and, finally, loosely hung on a radiator knob. I just wanted to somehow have it out of my sight. Having to see all the masks on the daily while out and about was more than enough. I really didn’t need to have them on display in my home, too. That changed after I went out numerous times and forgot to take the face mask with me. And so began my search for a more sustainable storage solution. One that’s both aesthetically pleasing and functional, so I remember to take my mask with me. I also asked people I know for tips. Of the options I tested, these are my three favourites.
The wall hook is the most long-term solution, since it needs to be drilled into the wall. It might also be the most practical: position it right next to the front door and choose an eye-catching model. This way, it acts as a friendly reminder before you leave the house.
The FOPH’s recommendations state, «If possible, after use hang your mask on a hook so that it does not come into contact with any other objects.» So I tried a few other types of hooks.
For example, a jewellery tree lends itself to be repurposed. It often has several hooks. Choose one of them for your face mask and place it up on a high dresser, if possible, so it’s in your field of vision. There are models that don’t require assembly.
A magnet becomes a hook if it is deep and large enough. Its advantage: you can quickly attach it to metallic surfaces and reposition it at any time. I couldn't find a suitable design, so I made my own. I glued a round piece of Fimo onto a regular magnet. It now hangs on my magnetic board and blends in with its colour. Alternatively, you can go for a particularly colourful or even ornate model that you can't miss.
