Pin Your Thoughts Where You'll See Them
Digital task lists are great until you forget to check them. A corkboard in your line of sight keeps important stuff visible. Meeting notes, project cards, that business card you need to call - pin it up, see it daily, actually remember to do it.
💡 Pro tip: Position the board where you'll naturally see it, not where you have to turn around. Beside your monitor or on the wall opposite your desk works brilliantly.

What to Expect
Step 1: Position Check

Appropriate wall anchors go in for the weight, board goes up level, tested for security. Ready to pin.
🔧 DIY Tips
Mounting your own corkboard? Here's how:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Spirit level
- Drill and appropriate bit
- Wall anchors for your wall type and board weight
- Pencil
- Tape measure
📏 Positioning
- Height: Eye level when standing (around 150-160cm to center)
- Location: Where you'll see it daily, not tucked away
- Clearance: Make sure door swings don't hit it
- Lighting: Not in shadow or with glare from windows
🔩 Mounting process
- Hold board up and check position from your desk
- Mark ALL fixing points (don't skimp - use every mount point the board has)
- Level it properly before drilling
- Use wall anchors rated for MORE than the board weight (you'll be adding pins and paper)
- Mount and test security before loading it up
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Using picture hooks for boards over 50cm (not strong enough)
- Only using one or two fixing points when the board has four (uneven stress)
- Not checking wall material first (brick needs different fixings than plasterboard)
- Mounting too high or too low for comfortable pinning
💡 Pro trick: If your board has saw-tooth hangers, replace them with proper D-rings and two fixing points. Saw-tooth hangers work fine until the board gets loaded with stuff, then they fail. D-rings on two wall anchors never fail.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Full office wall arrangement? If you're mounting multiple boards, whiteboards, or other items, doing them together ensures consistent spacing and alignment.
Board types: Cork comes in different densities. Cheap thin cork doesn't hold pins well and crumbles. Thicker cork (8-10mm+) holds pins securely and lasts. Worth spending a bit more.
Pins vs tacks: Proper push pins hold better than drawing pins. Those flat plastic ones are easiest on your thumbs. Keep a pot on your desk.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size corkboard can you mount?
Any size - from small desk boards to full wall coverage. The bigger they are, the more important proper mounting becomes. Heavy boards need serious wall fixings, not just a couple of picture hooks.
Can you mount corkboards on plasterboard walls?
Yes - I use proper wall anchors rated for the weight. Corkboards get heavier than you'd think, especially when you start pinning stuff to them. The fixings need to handle that.
Where should I position a corkboard in my office?
Somewhere you'll see it daily - beside your desk, opposite where you sit, or by the door. Not tucked away where you'll forget it exists. The whole point is having visual reminders in your face.
Will it be perfectly level?
Yes - wonky boards drive people mad. I use a spirit level when mounting. Even if your walls aren't level (common in older houses), the board will be.
Do I need to buy the board myself?
Yes - you choose the size and style that suits your needs. I just mount it properly. Framed, unframed, fabric-covered - doesn't matter, same mounting principles.
