Are you designing an office for someone who needs a good way to hang drawings or documents on the walls—for reference while working on a project, or just to keep frequently used papers readily accessible? Does you own office need that kind of product? Or are you designing products for those with this kind of need? Here are some of the many ways to use the walls effectively while accommodating various personal styles.
Bulletin/cork boards, and the pushpins to go with them
Bulletin boards have one downside—you wind up with tiny holes in the papers. But if that’s not a concern, they can work quite well. Note that anyone with pets or small children will need to be careful about how the pushpins are stored.
Bulletin boards can be made interesting in a number of ways. For example, you might cover them with fabric, as Pulp does.
Or you could use an unusual shape, as with this flower from Three by Three and this map from Luckies of London. But if you want to make the most use of limited space, you’ll want to keep the shape somewhat close to a square or rectangle.
Another option would be to put the cork board in a colorful frame, as Maine Cottage does.
