The joy of a peg rail
5 ways to restore order in your home with the humble peg rail
Also known as the Shaker peg rail, this simple design can save any room in your home from disorder. The Shakers hung everything from pegs, even chairs! Use individually or run them around all four walls in a room. Paint to match your wall colour for a streamline look. There is nothing that can't be hung up on a peg rail...
Use in the bathroom
Freestanding baths are still a popular option but the rest of the room needs to be planned carefully to avoid lack-of-storage issues. A 5-peg rail mounted on the wall within easy reach from your bath is the perfect device for hanging your towels and loofars! For similar, try Willow and Stone.
Transform your utility room
Run a row of peg rail at arms-reach
height to keep your home keeping kit off the floor. If you're tight on
space, this is a smart compact living solution. Ironing boards,
dustpans, brushes and brooms can all be hung.
A place for everything
Peg rail at eye level height works really well
along a kitchen wall. Placed above a splashback it creates a neat line
and is really handy for all your go-to kitchen tools you use on a daily
basis - sieve, grater, bottle opener and chopping boards.

well in a row used wall-to-wall. Use to hang your bedroom must-haves -

your wall colour or leave in a natural wood finish for contrast.
