Most of the makers and hackers have set up a small or big place which is named workshop, lab, study, kitchen or some other name . In short every DIYer have a "Dexters Laboratory " . But no matter how big of a space it is one eventually runs out of the floor space available. But even then there is still lot and lots of space depending on how we utilize the vertical surface or wall space. A usual general room has four wall with one one wall occupied by a window . That leaves us with 3 walls. In this Instructables , I am going to share with you some tips to how to decorate your walls in a practical way .

Commercially available small wall hanging organizers can also be used.

Adding Free hanging selves give you places to place power tools and BIG items.

A good strong and sturdy tool bag is a valuable addition to the wall for easy access to the tools

A cool idea is to use a magnetic knife rack for sticking screwdrivers , socket wrenches , Pliers etc to the wall for easy access . Its better to have a tool in front sight then scour through a cluttered drwer !

P.S Can find the Chicken in the Pictures? :P

Fabric Covered Pin Boards are helpful for sticking up tasks and reminders.

A small cork board may do the job also well.

A Steel Sheet covered with fabric and framed all around makes an excellent magnetic hanging board.

A magnetic board offers the advantage over pin board that of not damaging the material put up.

Last but not Least add a Pegboard .

A Pegboard is a metal or MDF sheet with a grid of small holes in it fixed to a wooden frame on a wall. Various organizing hooks are availaable for use with pegboards.

As pegboards were not currently available in my area so you'll just have to do with the picture of the wooden frame for now. :( I'll update the pictures as soon as I get the pegboard .

Hope you enjoyed the ible ! :D
