Pegboard Wall Organizer Ideas
Here’s an easy solution you can put up in just an afternoon – a pegboard organization center.
This one is for office/art supplies for kids, but could be easily modified and customized to your needs.
Incorporating beautiful touches (like the topiary) makes it decoration as well as storage. The gold accents (like the frame, wire basket and hardware) were created with spray paint and add just the right touch of glam.
Another pegboard option, this office supply organizer utilizes a neutral pallet of only three colors and repeating horizontal elements to create cohesion and simplicity.
Your organization station will hide away plenty of clutter, but you don’t want it to LOOK cluttered.
This modern plywood pegboard is a great way to add organization to your wall while still looking high style.
Use jars and catchalls on the shelves and hang calendars, papers and more from hooks in the holes.
