Pegboard Storage Ideas
Pegboard and tools seem to go hand in hand. While the two do make a good match, that doesn't mean pegboard–generally a large sheet of wood with holes for hooks, shelves and baskets–should be used solely for storing and arranging tools. There are a number of ways to use pegboard for storage. Whether it's a funky way to store jewelry in a teenage bedroom or a modern way to store kitchen utensils, pegboard can be a useful storage solution.
Jewelry
Pegboard comes in a variety of colors, which makes it a fun choice for a teenage girl's bedroom. Found in blue, red, orange, yellow and green, pegboard can suit almost any décor. For teenagers looking for a custom color, pegboard also can be painted. It can then be hung inside a closet door or armoire for hidden storage or on bedroom walls to display colorful pieces of jewelry. Either way, pegboard is a colorful and fun solution for jewelry storage. Necklaces and bracelets work best on hooks that have an upturned end. This prevents jewelry from sliding off.
Craft Supplies
Hooks, yarn, hoops, scissors–supplies can clutter a craft room and pegboard can help organize that clutter. A pegboard with hooks and baskets can make craft supplies easy to find and keep them from getting damaged. Hang several pegboards in a large craft room, devoting each one to a different craft. One might be for cross stitch supplies, while another pegboard could be used for knitting supplies.
Cleaning Supplies
A pegboard makes storage in a laundry room quick and clutter-free. Purchase hooks designed to hold mops and brooms. Baskets can be used for sponges and rags and shelves can be installed in the pegboard for detergents and other cleaning solutions. With a large sheet of pegboard and some accessories, a custom storage system can be created, even in a tiny laundry room.
Kitchen Utensils
Pegboard makes a bold statement in a modern kitchen. The industrial look of the pegboard is far from traditional and almost looks like a piece of art once kitchen utensils are hung on it. Some of the colors that work best in modern kitchens are black, white and bright red. Kitchen utensils that match in color can hang on the board to create a clean, modern look. Metal pegboard is a good choice for a kitchen because it is easy to keep clean. It can create a vintage look in a retro kitchen with the use of magnets mixed in with retro kitchen utensils. In this case, yellow, green and other bright colors add a retro look, which has remained popular over the decades.
