Eye bolts and eye lags are some of the most versatile pieces of hardware you can have in your DIY toolkit. But who says they have to stay strictly functional? With a touch of creativity and the right pairings, you can transform these practical tools into stylish, decorative centerpieces that enhance your home projects.
Whether you're a DIY enthusiast, a home improvement hobbyist, or a crafter looking to elevate your designs, this guide is your ultimate resource. Here at Old West Iron, we've put together some of the best practical and decorative pairings to help you take your eye bolts or eye lags to the next level!
Our Best Practical Pairings
When form meets function, you get these stunning yet practical hardware combinations.
Iron S Hooks
Sometimes simplicity is the best solution, and that's exactly what our Hand Forged S Hooks offer. Paired with eye hooks or eye lags, S Hooks bring rustic charm to any space while being incredibly practical. Use these to hang lightweight items like air plants, string lights, or small tools. Despite their simplicity, they add a handcrafted elegance to any room.
Looking for something with a little extra flair? Check out our Decorative Basket S Hooks. These hooks are a bit thicker and feature a striking spiral design, making them ideal for spaces where aesthetics matter as much as utility.
If iron isn't your style, our Copper S Hooks provide a warmer, more polished look. They're perfect for light loads and can add a unique, decorative touch to kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces.
Iron Hanging Hook with Six Hooks
If you're looking to maximize functionality while maintaining a decorative touch, our Iron Hanging Hook with Six Hooks is an excellent choice. Each hook offers room for six items, making it ideal for hanging multiple plants, lights, or other decor. Stylish and sturdy, it's perfect for consolidating hanging goods in a visually pleasing manner.
Iron Rod
Transform any space with the addition of an Iron Rod paired with eye bolts or eye lags. These rods are extremely versatile, allowing you to create stunning hanging racks for items like plants, lights, or even clothing. Imagine your kitchen, shower, or living room with a custom iron curtain rod—it’s a creative and easy way to upgrade your space. The durable nature of iron ensures it can handle heavier loads while still looking fabulous.
Decorative Chain
Decorative chain and eye hardware is a match made in heaven! Chains not only serve a practical purpose but also add a textured, industrial charm to your projects. Use them to create suspended shelves for books or kitchen essentials. Alternatively, design statement lighting features or imaginative plant-hanging arrangements. Decorative chains bring both intrigue and elegance to your space.
Our Best Decorative Pairings
Aesthetic touches can turn even a simple utility item into something extraordinary. Here’s how to make your eye bolts and lags shine with added ornamental flair.
Decorative Iron Washers
When you pair your eye bolts or eye lags with Decorative Iron Washers, you instantly elevate their appearance. These washers act as a beautiful frame that transforms your basic hardware into something that looks polished and intentional. Install them wherever ceiling hooks are needed—whether you're hanging lights or crafting an eye-catching pendant feature.
Decorative Iron Rosettes
For a bolder decorative statement, look no further than Decorative Iron Rosettes. Used in the same way as washers, these rosettes have intricate, stylish details that make your hardware stand out. Position your eye bolt or lag through the rosette as you would with a decorative clavo, and suddenly, practical hardware becomes a sophisticated element in your design. Ideal for vintage-themed spaces or for adding a touch of elegance to modern rooms, these rosettes are sure to impress.

Eye bolts and eye lags don’t have to be just simple hardware—they can be integral design elements in your creative projects. From practical solutions using hooks, rods, and chains to adding decorative flourishes with washers and rosettes, the possibilities are endless with Old West Iron.
