Ordinary Pin-Up Hooks are common, those for 3 to 4″ Grid less so. They can be effective dramatically displaying items seemingly free-floating against an airy Grid backdrop as here. But you have heard me rant about “sight leaks.” Just when do I think Open Wire Grid effective, and when it should be backed by a solid background? I can give you no general rule that works in every situation. The decision is subjective and not objective. I just know what I like when I see it. In addition to the white Pin-up Hook, also note the look of a Scan Hook with matching yellow Flip-Front Label Holder. *****
