How To Integrate A Pegboard?
A pegboard can be DIYed, and there are many tutorials telling how to do that. Such a solution will not only save you money but will also allow to perfectly tailor the pegboard for your space. If you aren’t ready for crafting, buy a ready piece from IKEA or another store and start styling it. First of all, decide whether you want to paint it or color block it or not. If you want a statement color wall, a pegboard can be your solution. If you love bright dopamine decor, whynot paint it in bright colors? Second, attach it to the wall, the most popular position is over the desk but you may also place it to the side of it. Third, think of adding shelves, ledges, pins and hooks. What objects are you going to store? Will that be a decoration or a functional piece or both? Depending on your answers, choose the holders. Place the things that you want to the pegboard and enjoy its functionality!
