Wall calendar or planning board mounted level and secure where you'll actually use it. Professional installation that looks deliberate, not DIY.
Because You Need to See Your Calendar
Bought a wall planner to get organized but it's still leaning against the wall gathering dust? Getting it mounted properly takes 30 minutes and means you'll actually use it. Out of sight, out of mind - on the wall in view, suddenly you remember that dentist appointment.
💡 Pro tip: Position matters more than you think. Mount it where you naturally look, not just where it fits. Behind your desk chair is useless. Next to your monitor or by the door works brilliantly.

What to Expect
Step 1: Position Check
We work out the best height and position based on where you sit, your eye line, and what else is on the wall.
Step 2: Mark & Level
I mark the fixing points using a spirit level so everything's straight. Check it looks right before drilling.
Step 3: Mount Securely
Appropriate wall fixings go in (anchors for plasterboard, plugs for solid walls), board goes up, tested for security.
🔧 DIY Tips
Mounting your own calendar board? Here's how to do it properly:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Spirit level
- Drill and appropriate bit
- Wall anchors/plugs for your wall type
- Pencil
- Tape measure
📏 Getting the height right
- Eye level when standing: Usually about 150-160cm to the center of the board
- Desk height: If you'll view it mostly while sitting, position lower
- Door position: If it's a family calendar by the door, mount so it's visible when entering
🔩 Mounting process
- Hold the board up and check the position before marking anything
- Use a spirit level - your eyes lie about what's level
- Mark fixing points through the mounting holes
- Drill and fit wall anchors appropriate to your wall type
- Mount board and test it's secure
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Eyeballing level instead of using a spirit level (it's never level)
- Wrong wall fixings (nail in plasterboard = it falling off)
- Mounting it where it fits, not where you'll see it
- Too high or too low for comfortable viewing
💡 Pro trick: For heavy boards or ones you'll lean on (when writing), use two fixings even if the manufacturer only provides one mounting point. Much more secure.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Setting up a full office? If you're mounting multiple items (calendar, corkboard, whiteboard, etc.), doing them together ensures they're aligned and look intentional.
Wall types: Solid walls (brick, concrete) are easy - drill, plug, screw, done. Plasterboard needs proper cavity fixings. Old lath-and-plaster needs careful drilling. I bring the right fixings for whichever you have.
Combination boards: Some planners have calendar sections, corkboard sections, and whiteboard sections. These tend to be heavier - proper mounting especially important.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of calendar boards can you mount?
Pretty much anything - dry-erase monthly planners, cork boards with calendar grids, wall-mounted year planners, or those big laminated ones. If it hangs on a wall and helps you stay organized, I can mount it.
Where's the best place to mount a calendar board in a home office?
Somewhere you'll actually look at it - usually on the wall directly in your line of sight from your desk, or next to the door so you see it when entering/leaving. Not hidden behind your monitor where you'll forget it exists.
Can you mount heavy boards on plasterboard walls?
Yes - I use proper wall anchors rated for the weight. Even heavy framed boards go up securely. The key is using the right fixings for your wall type, not just banging a nail in and hoping.
Will it be perfectly level?
Yes - I use a spirit level when mounting. Wonky calendar boards are surprisingly annoying to look at every day, and they make your whole office look less put-together.
Do I need to buy the board myself?
Yes - you choose the one that suits your needs (size, layout, style). I just mount it properly. If you want advice on what to get, I'm happy to help based on your wall space.
