Shelving for your plants 

Pegboards also come in handy when you’ve got a knack for potted plants. Use the wall space to extend your plant collection. This IKEA SKÅDIS idea will turn your wall space into a vertical oasis, a cool and beautiful way to showcase your plant collection. Install wall shelves on the pegboard to hold the plant pots.

A storage solution for all of your arts and crafts 

Need more room to store arts and crafts supplies? We’ve got you covered! Pegboards are another option for stowing them away. Install a wall-to-wall pegboard in your studio instead of shelves above your workstation. Place your craft supplies in the SKÅDIS baskets, hooks, and shelves.

The key to never losing your keys again 

Pegboards make it easy to keep track of essential items like house keys. This brilliant IKEA pegboard solution will ensure that you always remember important tidbits. Put a SKÅDIS on your entryway and equip it with hooks, containers, and shelves to organize your belongings. Add artificial potted plants and place them on the shelves for a stylish effect. 

A chic way to display your artwork 

Placing pegboards is one more way to showcase your artwork in a trendy manner. Putting up shelves on the pegboards allows you to display your artwork in a way that best suits your tastes. The best thing about this SKÅDIS pegboard idea? The pegboard shelves are detachable and flexible, allowing you to arrange your artwork in various ways.  

Extra space for your laundry items 

Multiple pegboards can be linked using SKÅDIS connectors to form a larger structure. You can use the bigger pegboards to create extra storage space for your laundry room. Use it to organize your laundry supplies. And depending on the size of your pegboard, you can even hang your ironing board there. 

Additional storage for the bathroom 

More space for toiletries is always welcome in anyone's bathroom. Small bathrooms will significantly benefit from the addition of a wall-mounted pegboard with shelves. This must-have device will organize all your bathroom goods, even in small, inconvenient locations. Store your hair care and beauty products on stylish plastic pegboards. Pegboard bins are also an excellent addition to this IKEA pegboard idea. Use the bins to store other bathroom products like toothpaste and toothbrushes. 

Excellent for stowing away hardware 

While pegboards are helpful storage devices for a wide variety of items, they really shine when used to manage tool clutter. Hand tools like screwdrivers and wrenches usually have holes in their handles so that you can hang them from pegboard hooks. What's more, you can categorize them according to their intended function and size. 

An organizer for your jewelry 

A pegboard is a great do-it-yourself option for organizing jewelry, especially smaller pieces like earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. Simply cut your pegboard to size, paint it to match your decor, and then frame it. Displaying your jewelry with this IKEA pegboard idea will encourage you to use each piece more often.
