1. PEG BOARDS Sometimes the pursuit of a simple accessory can result in a surprising upshot. It’s not only about pinning images but adding heavier elements if you fancy. And it is a very flexible to constant change.

2. IRON MESH Colorful materials and wooden pegs can soften a rather rough look on an iron mesh. Or how about a beautiful background (left pic)?

2. IRON MESH These iron structures convey often a more industrial look. What’s interesting here is that you can hang several accessories, too.

3. CORK BOARDS Cork boards very much remind of the seventies (huge comeback now) but you can always paint them if you prefer a more contemporary look.

3. CORK BOARDS Cork tiles can easily be shaped with a cutter designing your own composition if you don’t want to go for an entire wall. If you have a framed cork board and want a quick makeover, you could always pin o glue some fabric to it.

4. COLORED BACK WALL No need to make it a perfectly well painted surface, going for a more i r r e g u l a r fi n i s h i n g o n purpose (pic n#2 and #4),can be another interesting option.

5. STRING IT UP! A vertical structure can be a fun option where horizontal space is limited. Remember adding textures makes it just so much more fun.

7. FRAME IT! You’ll limit the space of your board avoiding to hang the materials ‘all over the place’ which can be done by a framed support or packing tape.

8. FLOOR COLLAGE Alway an option when you can’t attach your materials to any support due to their volume or weight. T h e fl o o r c a n b e a n important element in your story. Choose carefully.

9. WOODEN PANELS Wooden panels can be used in a vertical leaning or hanging position. If you feel you’d like some extra color, paint just one side. You can turn your panel at any point and have a more neutral backdrop again.

11. WALL MOUNTED Definitely the most common and easiest option since all you need is some washi tape to bring your elements on any wall. Try to play with a few 3D elements, too. You just show some extra dose of creativity..

11. WALL MOUNTED You decide if you want to occupy part of the wall or even go for a floor to ceiling ’installation’. You could go for a brain storming wall or a more curated display. Even any door is a good display surface.

13. HANG IT UP! Here again, customize with chalk paint or create a design yourselves with a wire finishing of your choice. Just remember when not leaning against a wall, they might turn (telling you from proper experience:).
