Create a Dynamic LEGO® Pegboard Display for Your Home

Find out how to transform your home decor with a functional-yet-stylish pegboard display...

It’s our sanctuary, our happy place and the space we feel most at ease. There’s just nothing better than being at home and kicking back on the couch after a long day, right?

The thing is – before we can really call a house a home, it’s got to reflect some of our impeccable personal style, don’t you think? And when it comes to decorating, we want to include little touches that really show off our personalities and interests.

Enter the world of (you guessed it) LEGO® bricks! They’re not just for fun – they’re also a great way to express yourself in your home decor.

But here’s the challenge: how do you showcase your LEGO masterpieces in a stylish, space-efficient way? Traditional shelves can feel a bit static, a bit limiting, and not everyone has space to dedicate an entire room to their builds – so what’s something a bit different? Our answer: drumroll please… a pegboard!

With a pegboard, you can quickly create a customizable display that can adapt to any vertical space (freeing up floor space, yay). Plus, you can change it up whenever you please! Here, we look at the benefits of using a humble pegboard to create a versatile home LEGO display...

Simple solutions

We’ll let you in on a little secret; making a pegboard display for your LEGO builds is almost effortless.

Order a pegboard in the color and size best suited to your space, and once it’s arrived, it’s simply a case of carefully attaching your builds. You can also arrange multiple pegboards, so you don’t have to stick to one!

Space-saving decor

We can’t all live in gigantic houses (and who’d want all that extra vacuuming, anyway?), so pegboards offer a nifty, space-saving solution for any sized home.

By displaying your creative works in smaller, vertical spaces – like mounted above your home office desk, over a mantelpiece or tucked neatly into a cozy corner – you’re not only transforming an otherwise dull nook into a quirky feature, but creating a neat space-saving way to store and display your builds, too. Bravo!

Embrace your individuality

As the best interior designers will tell you, start by picking a theme. Thankfully, the vast range of LEGO sets available means there’s a theme to suit practically every person and every passion! Here are some of our favorite, more eclectic themes to try building into your pegboard project...

Are you a space buff who knows more about lunar landings than a NASA astronaut? Then a combination of space-themed builds like LEGO Ideas Tales of the Space Age (21340) and LEGO Creator 3in1 Space Astronaut (31152) would look out of this world in your home.

Maybe you’re a cool kid with a penchant for groovy gadgets from yesteryear? A collection of retro-inspired displays including the LEGO Icons Retro Radio (10334) and LEGO Vespa (10298) would give a stylish nod to your vintage tastes.

Perhaps you’ve taken a few trips to Asia and want to emphasize your passion for the culture with an Eastern theme. The LEGO Festival Calendar (40678) and LEGO Japan Postcard (40713) would look gorgeous displayed vertically on a pegboard.

Customizable details

So, you’ve chosen your theme, now it’s time to really dive into the detail of your display. What size pegboard would best fit your space? Will a bright backing color really help your builds to pop? Which LEGO builds are you going to display?

Remember, you can always customize your artwork further by adding in extra bricks, elements or minifigures. Perhaps there’s a particular centerpiece that will really make your display zing, with smaller builds to complement it? Or maybe you’ll add some fun storytelling details, such as minifigures getting up to mischief!

Feel inspired

You’ve attached your builds to your pegboard and made sure it looks slick with customizations. Once it’s in position, sit back and admire your charming composition. Don’t you just feel inspired already?

One of the best things about a LEGO pegboard display is that you can change it up as often as the weather. Bored of the color scheme? No problem. Just completed a new build you want to show off? Switch it in place of another. Want to introduce a totally new theme? Simply unpeg and start from scratch.

Hang on, is that the Louvre on the phone wanting back their masterpiece? *Just kidding* But really, kudos to you for creating something magnificent.

The true beauty of a LEGO pegboard display is that it can really reflect both your interests and the most important moments in your life, so make sure it screams ‘you’ and enjoy the creative freedom!
