Personalized Pegboards for Every Personality


Pegboard organization is a versatile, functional, fun way to take advantage of vertical space. Pegboards are great for keeping tools and supplies neatly organized.  With a pegboard everything is easy to find, easy to use and easy to put away. A really great feature of pegboards is that they can be easily customized to coordinate with pretty much any décor. Anytime you can marry style and storage, that’s a good thing. The ideal storage blends with and compliments a room’s décor. Check out these simple ways to incorporate pegboard organization into your décor.​

How to Personalize Your Pegboard Organization


Paint It


A painted pegboard has a finished look that can really enhance a room’s décor. The beauty of paint is that it can be mixed to match any color. Choose a color that compliments the room’s color scheme and ties the pegboard in as a natural element of the room’s design. 

Tips for Painting Pegboard


When painting pegboards be sure to start with a raw surface. Some pegboards come with a glossy surface that will not absorb paint. The result is paint that scrapes right off once it's dry. Use a small roller to apply paint quickly and easily.

This cheerful turquoise pegboard provides a brilliant pop of color nestled among the surrounding white furniture. The bright color makes a fun, unifying backdrop for colorful art supplies.

Recreate a cross-stitch pattern on pegboard for a truly one-of-a-kind wall storage solution.  Click on the source link to see how this was achieved.

Another fun way to personalize your pegboard organization is by stenciling. Stencils come in a wide variety and can be painted any color to match the décor. They are a versatile, inexpensive way to add interest.

While you're painting your pegboard, why not give it real pizzazz by giving it a pattern, such as this American flag pegboard. 

Frame It


Give your pegboard a finished look by framing it. Cut a pegboard to fit an existing frame or build a custom frame around any size pegboard you like.

A vibrant color scheme and the use of decorative trim give this framed pegboard tons of character and charm.

Pegboards are perfect for hanging jewelry. The addition of a frame adds a polished look to this custom jewelry display. Adding a frame within a frame (as used here to section off the earrings) is a great way to up your pegboard's aesthetic.

Accessorize It


There are tons of storage accessories available to enhance pegboard organization: all manner of hooks, baskets, bins and shelves. But you don't have to stop there because many items which are not specifically designed for pegboards lend themselves to pegboard storage. If it can hang from a hook, it's a likely candidate.

This sweet example from a baby's nursery proves that pegboards aren't just for storage. They also make a great backdrop for items you want to display. This clever collage with its crisp contrasting colors is sure to catch baby's attention.

Pegboards are perfect storage solutions for laundry rooms as this pretty example confirms. Install a variety of hooks, baskets, and shelves to meet your storage needs.

This clever craft room/office incorporates just about every pegboard accessory imaginable, as well as a few you might not imagine like the ingenious use of a mesh circle to house a honeycomb wall unit. The end result is a supremely functional, yet delightfully attractive wall of storage that serves as a focal point for the room.

The more you mix and match storage accessories for your pegboard, the more personalized and playful it becomes. This creative combination of baskets, cups, shelves, hooks, and binder clips intermixed with photos and other decorative items makes for an eye-catching display. 

Add a Shelf (or Two, or Three...)


Add functionality to a plain old pegboard by topping it with, or covering it in, shelves.

This trio of custom made pegboards make one big impact. The mix of staggered shelves in varying lengths adds a ton of visual interest (in addition to all the awesome storage space). 
Picture

The shelf atop this wall unit gives it a finished look (in addition to adding storage). It's located in a hallway where the pegboard surface could just as easily be utilized for hanging backpacks, purses, scarves, hats, keys, ID lanyards, and much more. 
Picture

While the idea of shelves is not particularly innovative in and of itself, shelves supported by a pegboard backing are clever indeed. Not only do they look exceptionally cool, they can be easily adjusted to any height. 

Get Creative!


As a form of building material the possibilities for designing and creating with pegboard are limitless. As a plain old flat surface, pegboards are packed with storage possibilities. Experimenting with ways to incorporate them into your décor and lifestyle only adds to their versatility and charm.

Adding outlines for the items hanging from a pegboard is a fun way to personalize pegboard organization. The white outlines against the dark backdrop of this pegboard add a touch of whimsy, not to mention practicality. What better way to ensure that things always get put back where they belong.

This Pottery Barn copy cat storage tower is better (I think) than the original that inspired it. Notice that the two side panels are equipped with pegboard inserts which are cleverly used to contain video gaming accessories.

Admittedly, this example is available on Amazon.com, but I don't think that makes it any less impressive. If a person were so inclined (and had the right skillset), this pegboard room divider could easily be replicated. I would make it double thickness with trim around the edges to hide the gap between the two sheets of pegboard. That way the hooks from one side wouldn't show through on the other side and it would have a more finished look. Then I would paint it a fun color. Whether you purchase it or make it yourself, a pegboard room divider is a cool way to divide up your space and add storage at the same time.

As you can see, there is no limit to the ways in which pegboard organization can be personalized. Let your creativity be your guide as you incorporate these organizational gems into your home's organization.  If you have an example of a personalized pegboard, please share it in the comments section below.
