Smarten your shed
Most of us don’t have the luxury of so much space in our shed, but we can all take a lesson from the use of pegboards here. Fitting them along the length of a wall allows for plenty of storage space – think hanging everything from spare bicycle tyres to jars of screws and nails. Or you could just keep it looking pretty as a picture with cute potted plants.

Give kids a colouring space
A pegboard above a child’s desk is a great way to help keep their room clutter-free. With a place for everything from crayons to paper, they’ll easily be able to find what they need, and – hopefully – return it to it’s rightful spot once they’ve finished. Paint the pegboard in a bold colour to zone the area.

Freshen with bunches of flowers
This pegboard, which also does duty as pan storage, is brought to life by a couple of zinc planters brimming with colourful blooms. They’re a great way to enjoy flowers while keeping vases off the worktop, freeing up useful space.

Carve out a craft corner
As a crafter, I know just how many implements there are, from ribbons to scissors and set squares, and how they often jostle for space in overcrowded boxes and drawers. A pegboard is the perfect place on which to hang all these tools, so they are ready at a moment’s notice. For extra style points, try grouping items by colour.

Create a cute gallery
Make children feel super-special by creating an area just for their artwork. Hang all their recent endeavours on a pegboard framed in a bright colour as a lovely focal point in their bedroom. Switch them around every so often to keep the display fresh.

Liberate your tools
This is a pretty impressive shed, but you can recreate this ordered look on a smaller scale by hanging a pegboard down one side of a shed or garage. It’s perfect for hanging tools and equipment, putting an end to rummaging in a bulging toolbox. Keep little hands safe from harm by hanging the board out of reach.
