The pegboard is a wall storage and decoration tool that can be adapted to any room in the house or office. But not all spaces have the same constraints or needs. Size, thickness, finish, type of accessories: here is the complete guide to choosing the right Aire pegboard according to the room.
What is a pegboard and how does it work?
A pegboard is a board pierced with regular holes (at Aire: diameter 6.1 mm, spacing 30 mm) into which stainless steel pins are inserted to hang hooks, shelves, pots, rods, and all types of accessories. The configuration changes in seconds, without tools. This is Aire’s founding principle: modular, evolving, and always aesthetic storage.
Made in Paris at the CAP18 workshop, from Finnish birch plywood, Aire pegboards are available in several sizes, thicknesses, and finishes. They are compatible with the entire Aire accessory range.
The pegboard in the entryway
The entryway is often the most neglected storage area, even though it’s the first room you see. A pegboard in the entryway elegantly solves problems with keys, coats, bags, mail, and shoes.
Recommended size: S (48 x 48 cm) or M (96 x 48 cm) depending on the hallway width.
Recommended thickness: 9 mm or 15 mm.
Suitable accessories: single and double hooks for coats, low shelf for keys and mail, photo holder for memos, pen pot, hook for helmets or bags.
Recommended finish: tinted oil color to add character right at the entrance.
The pegboard in the kitchen
The kitchen is the room where the pegboard shows its usefulness best. It frees up countertops and drawers by using the vertical wall space between the countertop and hanging cabinets.
Recommended size: M (96 x 48 cm) or L (96 x 96 cm).
Recommended thickness: 15 mm to support accessories and shelves.
Suitable accessories: hooks for utensils, shelves for spices, utensil pots, rods for towels.
Recommended finish: matte oiled or tinted wood to resist ambient humidity.
Aire shelves are perforated on the edge to prevent accidental falls—an exclusive innovation that sets them apart from simple boards resting on dowels.
The pegboard in the home office
The office is the space where the pegboard excels in productivity. It replaces chaotic drawer bottoms with a visible, organized, and inspiring dashboard.
Recommended size: M (96 x 48 cm) placed behind the screen or on the side wall.
Recommended thickness: 9 mm or 15 mm.
Suitable accessories: pen pots, shelves for books and notebooks, hooks for headphones, picture rail for posters, magnetic note clip.
Recommended finish: raw natural wood or tinted according to the office atmosphere.
Note: Decathlon, Google, and LVMH have trusted Aire to equip their workspaces with custom pegboards.
The pegboard in the bedroom
In the bedroom, the pegboard becomes as much a decorative element as a storage tool. It advantageously replaces a headboard or a classic wall shelf.
Recommended size: M or L depending on available space.
Recommended thickness: 9 mm for visual lightness.
Suitable accessories: hooks for jewelry or belts, shelves for books and candles, photo holder or picture rail, pot for pencils and night notebook.
Recommended finish: pastel tint (green, blue, yellow) for a soft ambiance.
The pegboard in the workshop or garage
This is the pegboard’s traditional use: organizing tools. But the Aire version brings quality and aesthetics well above the industrial standard.
Recommended size: L (96 x 96 cm) or XL (144 x 96 cm), or even custom-made.
Recommended thickness: 21 mm for freestanding pegboards on legs, 15 mm for wall-mounted.
Suitable accessories: heavy-duty hooks, wide shelves, pots for small parts, specific supports.
Load capacity: up to 160 kg/m² on concrete or cinder block.
The pegboard in a shop or pop-up store
Aire pegboards are favored by many brands—Longchamp, OMY, Maison Farida—to display products with style and flexibility. The configuration can be changed between events in minutes.
Recommended size: custom or combined L/XL modules.
Recommended type: freestanding pegboards on wheeled legs, or wall-mounted.
Suitable accessories: hooks, picture rails, shelves, personalized signage.
Custom-made: Aire can create accessories reflecting your brand image.
How to mount a pegboard on any surface?
All Aire pegboards come with Fischer Duopower multi-material screws and plugs, compatible with concrete, brick, cinder block, and drywall. Drill size 5.5 or 6 mm. Spacers are provided to maintain an 18 mm gap between the back of the panel and the wall, necessary for proper accessory function. Installation in 10 minutes flat.
Summary: which pegboard for which room?
Entryway: S or M, 9-15 mm, tinted oil. Kitchen: M or L, 15 mm, matte oiled. Office: M, 9-15 mm, natural finish. Bedroom: M or L, 9 mm, pastel tint. Workshop/garage: L or XL, 15-21 mm. Shop/event: custom, freestanding or wall-mounted.
