Two Door Knobs 2

In my current habitation arrangements, I have learned several lessons. One of the more surprising things is my monomaniacal, perverse and unimaginative view of the role door knobs. I've been using door knobs for the following:

1. Opening doors 2. Closing doors

Sometimes the two are combined into one smooth, neigh, balletic action:

3. Opening and closing a door

My better half on the other hand has assigned a near infinite functional diversity on the item I considered so mundane. It's main role, apparently, is storage. Tracing a path through the house, on the back of the front door we have a hair tie, work ID & scarf, next door: purse, medium shopping bag with miscellaneous knick-knack inside, next door: small lunch cooler, another hair tie (x2, both sides), next door: another hair tie, this one large & satiny & bag containing smaller bags. Upstairs: hanging thing for cat to scratch (doesn't) & (other side) hair tie and one of my neck ties that I distinctly remember carefully throwing on a dressing table last month. And so on.

In the storage role, the door knob clearly excels, however, it does make using the door as a door quite difficult. So, the solution. I've noticed that above the door knob, is a space. In this space, a functional door knob could be fitted. The knob should be designed as a gentle cone shape sloping away from the door so that it's physically impossible to hang anything on it without it sliding off. The knob can have a slightly grippy surface, or ridges perpendicular to the door for ease of hand grip so long as the average cardigan cannot find sufficient purchase.

There, now we can open & close the doors again. Now, to expand the gap behind the door so that it opens fully despite the fact the vacuum is now apparently stored there.
