A pegboard is a flat panel with a grid-like design of small, evenly spread holes for pegs. It is a handy item that you can use to organise and display different things in your home. You can hang these boards or mount them on the wall and then insert pegs into the holes to hold a variety of stuff.
The name pegboard is an expired trademark of the company Masonite Corporation. First used in 1962, these hardboards offer a decade-old organisation solution. You may typically see pegboards in retail settings to hold products.
But if you’re seeking an affordable way to decorate and organise your home artfully, there is nothing better than pegboards.

Ultimate Tools Storage Wall
You can use pegboards for organising almost any item. Especially organising tools as they set well on them. You can create a storage wall using perforated panels and store anything you need. Most hardware devices, like screwdrivers, drills, and wrenches, already have holes in their handles.
So, you can easily hang these tools on the hooks attached to the board. Now, you no longer need to pile your hardware tools on top of each other.
Bedroom Headboard
Are you looking for a decorative headboard that’s stunning yet functional? You can make your new headboard panel with pegboards. And then hang your photo frames, magazines, alarm clock or bedtime items on it.
There is no limit to using this headboard panel in your headroom. If you don’t like the single colour look of your headboard, you can paint it as per the theme of your room or add LED light to spruce it up.
