Unique Key Holders for Your Home

by Adrian How

Are you the kind who often misplaces your keys even in your own home? What you need is a key holder and cultivate a habit to use it. Here are two very unique designer key hangers I’ve found in online stores Generate and Blomus.

Generate offers the His & Hers Keyholder, ideal for couples. The key holder comes with a supplied key in which you’re supposed to fix to your current bunch of keys. To hang your keys, just insert the supplied key into the keyhole which happens to be rather strategically placed (intentional? I wouldn’t bet against it).

Click here to view the product page at Generate. At USD29.00 for a His OR Hers key holder or USD49.00 for a His AND Hers key holder, it’s really a rather steep price to pay. But then again, you’ll be getting a very unique key holder which will probably last you a loooonnng time- unless you lose your bunch of keys (twice).

Pros:

unique design
looks great
love the concept of using a key to hang your keys on a key holder

Cons:

very pricey
only good for hanging a bunch of keys per key holder
people (like my wife) will constantly ask you why you’d need to use a key to hang your keys. Isn’t a hook or basket adequate?

Over at Blomus, we have the Tewo Key Board- a key holder which does not use a hook and isn’t a basket. In fact, it’s a key slit. To hang your keys, simply slip one of the keys in key bunch into the slit. If you’re like me, you’re probably wondering why no one had thought of this before! Amazing.

Click here to view the Tewo Key Board product page (there are other Tewo Key Board related product offerings here too). The Key Board retails for USD28.10, which isn’t cheap either. Here’s my take on its pros and cons

Pros:

Simplistic and elegant design
Unique
Will get your guests wondering what it is when there aren’t keys hanging in it
Will get your guests wowing at it when there are keys hanging in it
Can hang several bunches of keys (unlike the His & Hers Keyholder)

Cons:

Very pricey (but compared to the His & Hers keyholder, it’s more value for money as it can accomodate several bunches of keys)
Would not work with short length keys as minimal swaying could cause your keys to slip off the key slit
