Fun Idea: Clipboards On The Wall
Isn’t this a fun idea? I’ve seen clipboards-as-art and storage before but in this setting, it really speaks to me.
Would you try this at home?
You could display:
- Work
- Monthly calendar
- Only B/W photos
- Family photos
- Art
- Etsy prints you love
- Wallpaper the clipboards then clip favorite things to them
- Favorite fabrics

I love it! If I ever get a dedicated craft room, then that would look perfect on the wall.

Great idea for an inspiration Board(s)!! Office would look very chic. I would use white clipboards!

Love this! I have a lot of small fabric projects and this would be perfect for keeping up with the patterns, cut fabric, etc. Thanks for sharing!

I love this! At the dollar store they have 2 clipboards for a $1. :) hmm maybe I’ll do this on my wall!

What a great idea for a cluttered space. I might just have room for something like that. Maybe I could keep my knitted design swatches attached to the clipboards…

Love love love! I would never have thought of that, but it looks great. You could also get solidly colored (or clear, or all white) clipboards to make the wall look a certain way when there’s nothing on them.

Love, love, love this idea!! I’m thinking of even painting my clipboards pink and hanging them in my daughter’s room….for inspirational ideas !!
Thanks for this!,

I have clip boards up in several rooms. I love the texture and the ability to change things quickly.

I would love this super-sized to do a giant monthly clipboard calendar (ie. a board for each day) in the style of the painted wall calendar from the movie If Lucy Fell. Would be awesome in an open loft environment.

I think this would be perfect in my husband’s office/”man room”…he has so many old pictures–an old man fishing, a portrait of James Joyce, black and whites of his friends.
It’s GREAT for crafting ideas, but I think it also has that stripped down, utilitarian look that would be attractive in a guy’s eye. Love it! Thanks!

I would definitely try this at home! What a fantastic idea!!! I am putting this on my “to do” list fro this coming weekend. With fall in tow..I’m ready to redecorate and reorganize.

yes! I have this in my office and just posted about it last week…I love the amount that are in your inspiration photo, however. It looks very graphic to have so many in an organized grid!

I love, love, love, love, LOVE this idea! I’m in the process of picking out inspiration for my craft room (well, more like nook) and this is definitely going on the top of the pile. It’s a great way to stay organized while keeping all of your unfinished projects top of mind!

I do have that in my home, but not nearly as neat and pretty as this picture!! I have a couple of them and I move them around and change out what is displayed. I have a bunch more but the kids use them for outdoor drawing time and we have extra for their friends. I love this picture you have posted.

love this idea. I’ve been looking for a way to display studio work in a house. Might have to steal this idea. Thank you.

I LOVE it and have a similar design with clipboard in my home office. It is sooo easily accessible.

That’s a rather novel idea. Looks great, pretty cheap to put together too I’d imagine.

I got clipboard on my wall of my work space. With my favorite clips from season books of Jack Wills.
September 6th, 2011 at 10:43pm
I actually just bought some nice clipboards when I was in the US for this very purpose! =P Now I just need to decide if I’m going to dress them up or not…

Sounds like a wonderful idea for our workroom. Which needs a new style urgently. I’d love to use it as a kalendar – but I know I wouldn’t do it. I think I’d show photos… Or as a mood board. Thanks for sharing, Holly!

This is a great idea, I relly love the look of it! But I figure you need big walls to create this look, sadly, it wouldn’t work in my appartment with slanted ceilings and short walls …
September 7th, 2011 at 2:17pm
@Hella – Maybe you can try using only 3 or 5 in a straight row?
September 7th, 2011 at 3:25pm
Oooohhhh….. perfect!! I love this idea, Holly!! I want to do this, or something like this, in my crafting studio….. It’s much simpler than other ideas I’ve had floating around in my head… thank you for sharing! I really, really like this.

Yes! I am doing this with acrylic clipboards and using dry erase markers to make lists of things that are important in the home. And for posting things up on as well. Great look.
September 7th, 2011 at 7:35pm
I love clipboards for displaying art! I have a row of 5 of them in my bedroom which I’ve painted with blackboard paint. So I can draw some impromptu art on them when I choose, or I can clip up inspirational images I find as well. Love it. :)

I really love this idea and it seems like such a great alternative to the inspiration board. One thing I dislike about art is that it’s so permanent – once it’s up, it’s up and yet this type of art can evolve and change along with your tastes at the time!

This looks awesome! How did you adhere the clipboards to the wall like that?
October 4th, 2012 at 11:33am
@Mina: At the top of each clipboard is a looped ribbon glued to the back of the board, centered, and that loop goes around the nail.
