11. Bedroom and Nursery Pegboard Ideas

Pegboard may never cross your mind when thinking of bedroom and baby nursery storage ideas. However, they’re just as helpful here as in the garage or other rooms. Creating a pegboard wall in a child’s bedroom is a great way to enhance toy storage. Bins can hold blocks and dolls, and you can suspend a stuffed animal hammock between two hooks.

In the nursery, nail a pegboard over the changing table to hold a basket of diapers, tubes of ointment, and other baby supplies. As your baby grows, you can change the décor without creating new holes in the wall. Simply shift your pegs and hooks around to update storage and accessories.

Pegboard FAQs

What sizes do pegboards come in?

No, there are two sizes of pegboard. Small hole pegboard has 3/16-inch holes that can only fit 1/8-inch hooks. Large hole pegboard has 1/4-inch holes that can fit both 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch hooks. Be sure to measure what size you need before purchasing plastic or metal pegboard hooks or pegs.

How do you keep pegboard hooks from falling out?

To avoid the problem of hooks falling off your pegboard wall, you must lock the hooks in place. You can find specially designed plastic clips wherever you can find pegboard organization materials. These stretch across the hook and lock into holes on either side to keep it in place.

If you cannot find locking pegboard clips, you can use a zip tie to secure each hook in place. To do so, you must have access to the back of the panel to loop the zip tie around. If you can’t access the panel back, place a ball of hot glue on each hook’s lower peg before slipping it into the hole. Later, when you want to remove the peg, give it a firm tug and it should pop off easily.
