With more and more storage and decor innovations being introduced, the humble pegboard is no longer confined to the garage! Nowadays, you can jazz up your pegboard and use it in any room of the house. Being an affordable and appealing option for many, pegboards can reduce your need for standing surfaces, freeing up your floor space like never before. Whether you need extra storage in your study, or your kitchen utensils don’t fit in their drawers anymore, it’s time to invest in a pegboard. Read on to gain some insight into the wonderful world of pegboards, and how they can help take back your home from clutter!


One of the best things about installing pegboards is the fact that you’ll be able to add extra shelving and storage solutions without putting holes in the wall. Check out these pegboard innovations for some inspiration when it comes to your next home reno.


In the kitchen

With an ever-expanding kitchen inventory, you may be struggling to fit your pots, pans and other kitchen essentials in the cupboard among your new slow cooker, blender and other appliances. Luckily, a pegboard offers a great solution! Simply install one on an empty wall in or by the kitchen, and you’ve got yourself an easily accessible kitchen inventory.


In your home office

Whether it’s a study for the whole family or your private office, a pegboard will help organise even the most cluttered of spaces. Having a specific space for your stationery and other office supplies will be a foolproof way to ensure that your study (and your mind) stays free of unnecessary clutter.


In your dining room

Don’t think for a second that pegboards are restricted to your walls! A simple DIY centrepiece for your dining table is a flower box. As this is a little project you can do yourself, you can make the box any size or shape to suit your table. Check out this tutorial to make your own flower box.


As a work of art

As well as saving space, you can buy pegboards with different prints on them, or alternatively, paint them yourself. Your plain old pegboard doesn’t have to seem like it’s just there to hang things—add a splash of colour to turn it into an interesting focal point, or incorporate the pre-existing colour scheme of your room.


In the nursery

This could be a dream-come-true for new parents. Just like having accessible kitchen utensils, a pegboard by bub’s changing station could revolutionise the way you change nappies forever. Add some baskets for all of your baby care needs and you’ve got the perfect hanging space for your baby changing arsenal.
