Bulletin & pin boards

What is a pin board?

A pin board is, just as the name reveals, a board to pin things on, such as letters, photos, notes and decorative items – in order to organise your everyday life at the office as well as in your home, or just to be used as a stylish and personal interior accessory.

Different types of notice boards

When deciding what wall pin board will be best for you, it is important to think about where you will be using it and what kind of information you want to display.

When considering the pin board size, think about the wall space it will take in the room. By choosing a large pin board with an impactful quote you can make a statement and if you want an extra large pin board, you could hang two or more boards together. On the other hand, a small notice board with large letters and icons can be used perfectly as signs for special events like birthdays and weddings.

You should also consider what the pin board is made of when making your choice. With us at Nordic Nest, you can find designer pin boards online in wire mesh, metal, and plastic as well as magnetic pin boards. For modern pin boards made from the best quality materials, we recommend top brands such as Design Letters and Monograph.

A decorative designer pin board to match your style

Apart from being functional, a hanging pin board can be a stylish detail in your interiors, whether in your kitchen, bedroom or study. When choosing a pin board to suit your style, consider the wall colour as well as the furnishings in the room. For modern and minimal interiors, a bulletin board in classic tones such as grey or black may best match your room design. Or if you have colourful walls, you could use a pinboard in a contrasting colour like pink or green to bring life to the room.

Modern notice boards for home

Notice boards can a useful and attractive accessory for many different rooms in your home from the bedroom to the kitchen.

Kitchen pin boards

Rather than having small papers cluttering the kitchen, use a family notice board in your kitchen to hang up shopping lists and important appointments. A family pin board in the kitchen can also be used to display your favourite photographs from recent holiday trips or to hang a list of birthday dates to remember.

You could also choose a letter pin board to leave a short and sweet message to your loved ones in the morning or simply to share a quote that keeps you inspired.

Desk pin board

For your study, keep your ideas clear and flowing by displaying your mind maps and projects in an organised way on a wall notice board. Not only is it a practical way to keep important dates and reminders easily visible, but it also allows you to keep your desk space free of clutter. For a unified look in your study, match your home office notice board with your desk stationary and accessories.

Bedroom notice board

Use a bedroom notice board to display photos of your friends, hang up special invitations or showcase post cards from your most recent travels.

For a child’s room, a pretty kids pin board can be used to hang up their favourite drawings as well as pin reminders for important school dates. A small pin board with letters could also be used to spell out your child’s name by their bedroom door, or to spell a quote from their favourite book.

Office notice board

An office pin board is an essential item in any work space. Create a dynamic and organised work space by using a large pin board to display sketches and hang inspiration for your next project, or use a notice board with letters to share a motivational quote with your colleagues.

How to make a pin board display

For a decorative pin board, create a display that brings you joy and keep you inspired. Photographs, letters and inspirational quotes are just a few pinboard ideas to start with. At the end of the day, be sure to make it personal and meaningful to you. Authenticity is key.

For a bulletin board with a more practical purpose, make sure to keep your information and notes in an organised and clear layout. A practical notice board idea would be to designate set areas of the bulletin board to different categories.
