8. Pegboard Accessory Wall
A pegboard is a transformative tool for any closet, providing an endless array of configuration options for hanging items. It is the ultimate solution for holding everything from jump ropes and bags to hats and scarves. By using different hooks and baskets, you can create a perfectly tailored system that fits your child’s unique collection of accessories. The pegboard also serves as a great visual display, making it fun for your child to “shop” for their own gear. It keeps the closet floor completely free and utilizes vertical space to its maximum potential.
How to Make
Purchase a standard pegboard and cut it to fit the back wall or side wall of the closet. Paint the pegboard a bright, fun color that matches the bedroom decor. Mount the board using spacers, which will ensure that you have enough room to insert the hooks. Once it is mounted, experiment with different hook lengths and small wire baskets to hold various items. Use a mix of long hooks for bags and short hooks for smaller accessories. Add labels above each hook so your child knows where each item lives when it is time to put things back.
