What is the pegboard?
Pegboard, as the name suggests, is a board filled with holes and pegs, which can be fully utilized. Scattered objects can be hung or placed for storage, releasing 90% of the storage capacity of the wall facade.
Pegboard was originally only used as a background board for hanging goods in shopping malls or retail spaces. Later, it was introduced into the field of interior design, which not only meets the fragmented storage function of the space, but also does not occupy the space area.
There are three main types of materials: wood (some use ecological wood, solid wood, pine wood, and some use plywood, etc.), hard plastic, and iron stainless steel. These three materials are not only different, but also the maximum weight that each material can bear is different.
Everything has its pros and cons, and pegboards are no exception. So what are its advantages and disadvantages? What are the advantages first?
Advantages of pegboard:
01. Fully personalized, with a sense of design and form
The background board can be combined with hooks, “matchsticks,” layers, and other objects to arrange and store objects according to the individual aesthetic, preferences, habits, and needs of the residents. It has a strong personality in the layout of storage, and can be freely combined and matched according to different needs, with beautiful combinations. Combined with the materials used to store items, it can enhance the design and form of the area.
02. Strong storage capacity
A whole wall pegboard with storage capacity no less than a cabinet, combined with hooks, “matchsticks,” layer boards, storage baskets, and other means of storage, can be hung or placed. The storage position can also be flexibly arranged and adjusted, providing ample storage space.
03. Non occupied space area
Because the peg board mainly utilizes the space of the facade, it can fully utilize the walls in the space. At the same time, it can also play a role in covering up the ugly.
Disadvantages of pegboard:
01. Messy and disorderly
The biggest drawback of the pegboard is actually the exposed storage of items, which can be both its advantages and its disadvantages. Poor combination seriously affects the overall aesthetic effect, and even causes chaos, which is counterproductive.
02. Easy to accumulate dust and difficult to clean
Secondly, the stored items are exposed for a long time, which is prone to dust accumulation and difficult to clean and clean. Especially when using hole boards in the kitchen area, it is easy to accumulate oil fumes and difficult to manage.
Pegboard can be combined with these accessories to enrich the storage function and fun of the board surface. Common examples include hooks, laminated boards, round headed wooden sticks, storage baskets, etc., allowing objects to be hung or placed. These are the combinations and designs on the board surface, and in addition, the layout of the entire pegboard in the space can also be considered.
There are several common ones:
1) Pegboard hanging wall
This is the most common design method and can be utilized in any space to perform different functions and purposes, often used in these areas:
01. Entrance
The entrance needs to meet the functions of undressing, changing shoes, and placing items, while the hole board can directly meet the requirements and is also very convenient to access.
02. Study
A trend called desktop matching is very popular on platforms such as Tik Tok. Pegboard is placed above the desk to store various scattered objects for learning and work, which can not only meet the needs of storage, but also have beautiful decoration effects
2) Whole wall pegboard
Hanging the pegboard on the wall is only a partial part, and there is another form where the pegboard can be laid out all over the wall. However, this is not only to meet the storage function, but more importantly, the core lies in the display function. The entire wall can be arranged in a variety of flexible and variable forms, which can be arranged according to the individual thoughts, habits, and needs of the residents.
3) Cabinet pegboard
The storage capacity of the pegboard is indeed strong, but the disadvantage is that the exposed objects are not well arranged and can easily be messy. The pegboard can be placed inside the cabinet as a supplement to the storage of the cabinet.
4) Combination of pegboard and wardrobe
The combination of the storage form of the pegboard and the wardrobe function can maximize the storage capacity of the wardrobe, making it more interesting and expanding the area where clothes can be stored.
