The 9 Best Pegboard Accessories to Keep Your Space Neat and Organized

These kits are all you need to get started.

Pegboard Accessories

The Spruce / Brian Kopinski

When you’re thinking about which pegboard accessories to buy, first consider where and how you’re going to use the pegboard.

For instance, if it’s going to be used for tools in the garage or shed, you’ll most likely need more durable materials like heavy-duty steel alloy and larger hooks. For a craft room or office space, you may want to consider getting a kit that contains more bins, shelves, and cups, in order to store your pens, notepads, and other small supplies. For kitchens, you’re less likely to need bins, as J-hooks, straight hooks, and curved hooks will do the trick to store your pots and pans. 

Here, we’ve rounded up some of the best accessories for pegboards, with a close eye on functionality, design, durability, and versatility. And the best part is, most are under $25 and come with a wide assortment to suit a variety of spaces and purposes.

What We Like
  • Great variety of hooks

  • Large assortment for price

What We Don't Like
  • Not heavy duty

  • Doesn’t include longer pegs

If you want the most bang for your buck, this 114-piece set includes just about everything you need to organize your pegboard. It comes with a range of hook styles, including J- and L-shaped hooks, as well as various sizes to fit everything from a pair of scissors to pots and pans. Plus, with so many different styles of hooks, you can really get creative with both your organization and presentation. 

We like that each item fits into both ⅛-inch and ¼-inch pegboard slots and that each hook is made of metal (it also comes with plastic tip covers, but they have to be put on individually). While it does come with five plastic bins, some customers have mentioned they’re not especially durable or high-quality, but should still be fine for holding nails, screws, paperclips, and other small items.

What We Like
  • Can buy for specific needs

  • Various price points and styles offered

What We Don't Like
  • Users need to make multiple purchases for any variety

When shopping for one type of accessory to fill your pegboard, you'll see lots of hooks, bins, cups, and shelves. For example, the HUHOLE Pegboard Hooks are super stylish, powder-coated hooks that will certainly raise the glam factor, and have smart details like rubber tips, so nothing gets snagged on the metal, especially when you’re adding paper or plastic materials to your board.

We also love straightforward wire metal baskets to hold a range of stuff. We like the right angle design which means your items are more secure, as well as the overall durability of the material. Made with corrosion-resistant steel with chrome plating, these baskets are great for either the craft room or tool shed.

Bins are another excellent choice, with solid structures to keep even the smallest parts and pieces together. Julie Starke, a professional organizer, home stager, and owner of Keys To Living Light, notes that some of the benefits of opting for bins or cups is that you can separate your items by category, and they can be labeled. Starke adds. “It makes it so much easier to find things rather than put everything in a big coffee can or something like that.”

What We Like
  • Can opt for trendy or stylish designs

  • Lots of opportunities for customization

  • Different sets and sizes available

What We Don't Like
  • Additional purchases may still be needed for specific items

  • Some users may find themselves with extra pieces

With sets ranging from 12 up to 200 pieces, the scope and size of pegboard accessory kits is almost as wide and vast as the uses of pegboards themselves. Among our favorites, you'll see angled hooks and loops secure each cup and bin into place and can be easily moved around the board when you want to switch it up.

The Geosar Pegboard Accessories, for starters, is one of the most versatile kits out there, with everything from J-hooks, angled hooks, and straight hooks, so you can really get creative with your display. Plus, the kit comes with 172 utility hooks with hook locks to ensure all your items are held in place. And since it’s made of metal (except for the bins and cups), it’s sure to last a while. 

On the other hand, the Keepo Pegboard Combination Kit, has a chic aesthetic of this pegboard kit, as well as the smaller size, making it a great addition for any office space or to install above your desk. The 14 white accessories are completely customizable, so you can easily arrange your items in the most convenient way. The pegboard is both scratch-proof and waterproof, and it can hold up to 20 pounds. 

How We Picked

We thoroughly looked through tons of product descriptions, reviews, and weighed the pros and cons of each pegboard accessories set before making our final selections. Each product has excellent reviews from thousands of reviewers, as well as an affordable price point. The most important features were functionality, versatility, and diversity of accessories within each kit, as well as making sure each item will work in most standard pegboards.

What to Look for in Pegboard Accessories

Will It Fit Your Things?

Be sure to pay attention to each product’s details, including the size of the hooks. Many folks will buy a set of hooks thinking they’re a lot larger than they really are. The HORUSDY Pegboard Hooks Assortment includes a visual guide to the measurements of each item, so read the dimensions before hitting that final purchase button to ensure it’s right for you.

Will It Make Your Life Easier?

Some accessory kits come with hook locks, like the Geosar Pegboard Accessories Kit, which ensure the hooks won’t easily slide off when you’re grabbing an item, so look for that in the product’s description. 

Also, make sure you know what kind of pegboard you have before ordering: Is it an ⅛-inch slot or a ¼-inch slot? Some accessories can work with both, but it’s best to be sure before ordering. Also, some pegboards (like IKEA) have proprietary peg holes, so non-brand name accessories won’t work with those.

Will It Look Nice in Your Space?

Most pegboard accessories are made of alloy steel and plastic (like the bins and cups). Look for products that specifically say they’re rust-proof and water-resistant, especially if you’re using them in a non-climate controlled space like an outdoor shed. In terms of aesthetic, there are several fun colors on the market right now (like the HUHOLE Pegboard Hooks), however you won’t find a huge range of shades out there.
