Ready to unlock everything your IKEA SKÅDIS pegboard can do? These 10 genius pegboard ideas for easy home organization are about to change everything.
When is a pegboard not just a pegboard? When it’s also a jewelry organizer, a pot rack, and a rock-climbing wall! (I mean, go big, right?)
IKEA’s SKÅDIS system has proven to be quite the versatile superstar over the years, with a range of sizes and accessories that offer tons of possibilities. Clever IKEA hackers have quickly learned that the IKEA pegboard can do much more than just organize your tools and office supplies.
In this SKÅDIS hack roundup, we’ll show you ten different takes on the popular pegboard and how you can use it pretty much anywhere.
10 IKEA Pegboard Ideas for Home Organization
1. Craft Room Divider
Katie decided to create a movable divider for her craft room that did double-duty as storage and an inspiration board. She set up a series of SKÅDIS panels and accessories on a rolling clothes rack to come up with this cool craft room divider. And here’s the best part: once she thought up the idea, it only took her five minutes!
2. Rock-Climbing Headboard
Okay, this is one hack idea that I must admit, I don’t think I would look at a pegboard and think, “Ooh, rock wall!” But that’s precisely what Giacomo did when he was considering fun ideas for his daughter’s room. She needed a headboard, so he figured, why not make it a playspace, too?
The result is a headboard and rock-climbing wall that is truly one-of-a-kind. Of course, this clever dad used the appropriate rock-wall supports for the grips, but this is a pretty neat idea, don’t you think?
3. Efficient Craft Cart
Hllary Frazey figured out how to use the SKÅDIS system to bring her crafting on the go. She fashioned a cute little craft cart that keeps everything she needs for her current project within easy reach, no matter which room she wants to work in that day.
4. Jewelry Organizer
The holes in the SKÅDIS pegboard are a no-brainer when it comes to hanging dangly earrings. I mean, this hack is so simple, it’s brilliant.
While Gerry didn’t use the IKEA pegboard for her hack, the SKÅDIS can easily be adapted for it. She positioned the panel on one half of a large mirror, creating the perfect setup for choosing the best jewelry for the day. You could also add some pegboard hooks to create a full wall jewelry organizer that holds bracelets and necklaces.
5. LEGO and Toy Car Display
I saw this hack a while back and remembered thinking I had to recreate it for my son’s room. He is a car fiend and a LEGO fanatic, so this hack from Nicole (@simply.aligned.home) is a win-win for him. It’s a quick, easy car-and-LEGO display that makes it a breeze to switch up your favorites.
6. Secret Storage
When you love to stay organized, any wasted space becomes your arch-nemesis, like the gap between the wall and the washing machine. You know the one. Well, Aden Zig Wang (@adenwang) bridged the gap with a sleek sliding storage panel using SKÅDIS pegboards and drawer slides.
7. Mobile Craft Organizer
This moving craft organizer from Create and Craft with Katie shows off a different way to use the SKÅDIS system for crafting supplies. She made a rotating cube with 360-degree storage that sits atop her desk, maximizing space and efficiency.
8. Ventilation Panel
Riina swapped the back of an IKEA ALEX unit for a SKÅDIS panel to improve ventilation and instantly improve airflow around her hardworking computer components. It keeps her electronics from overheating, and it looks good, too!
9. Kitchen Storage
This hack from Allison McCaffrey marries two IKEA legends, the SKÅDIS and the IVAR, to create streamlined kitchen storage. It’s great for hanging utensils, potholders, small pans, colanders, and more.
If you’re the type who prefers not to see your storage, there’s an easy fix. Use a tension rod or mount a rod to hang a curtain across the front of the shelving unit.
10. Networking Cart
Thomas needed an easy, efficient way to keep all his networking gear in one place, so he could maneuver it around if necessary. He came up with the idea of creating a networking cart to organize all of the components and cables using the SKÅDIS pegboards. Now, when he needs to relocate his equipment, it’s hassle-free.
