18. Beadboard and Peg Rail Open Storage Unit
Introduction
A simplified, casual approach that relies on open wall peg rails, floating benches, and open lower cubbies for fast access.
What This Idea Means
Eliminating heavy cabinet doors in favor of quick-grab storage that works particularly well in smaller or narrower entry halls.
How to Make It
- Install vertical beadboard wall panelling from floor to mid-wall height.
- Mount a continuous solid wood shaker peg rail across the paneling width.
- Position a floating or floor-mounted open cubby bench directly below.
Tips and Variations
- Paint the peg rail and beadboard in a contrasting color from the upper wall to create a striking two-tone effect.
