Insta is great, but I'm a nostalgic girl and like using bulletin boards so I can have my memories printed and pinned on my wall. There's nothing cuter than a little bedroom bulletin board covered in cute pics of your besties, parents, and your family pooch that your landlord won't let you have for a sleepover.

Alternatively, bulletin boards serve as fabulous kitchen organizers in place of a magnet-swarmed fridge. With this in mind, I've spent hours trawling the internet on the hunt for the best of the best. Whether you're in your college dorm or on your corporate grind — say bye to forgotten meetings, dates, and exams and jot down your never-ending to-do list right at eye level. It's also one of the best organizational products to display those inspirational quotes that keep you going — you can't not love daily affirmations!

Frequently asked questions

Why do you need a bulletin board?

The justification for buying a bulletin board should be like anything in your house: does it bring you joy or does it make your life easier? If either answer is yes (and especially if both answers are yes), then there's your reasoning. However, I asked expert, Zev Freidus, house interior specialist and founder of ZFC for his insight on bulletin boards. 

"I recommend bulletin boards to my clients for their bedrooms, living rooms and kitchens," he says. "A bulletin board is more than just a way to display reminders and notes. It can be used as an inspirational tool or even a creative outlet for expressing ideas, goals, dreams, and inspirations. A bulletin board gives you the opportunity to collect items that inspire you and keep them in one place where they can be seen easily."

Is a bulletin board better than a digital calendar?

Expert Forrest McCall, co-owner of Mama Needs a Project, gave his insight on why using both a bulletin board and digital calendar could be your most productive and present solution. 

"A digital schedule is useful in many ways, but it isn’t as present as a bulletin board," says McCall. "You might not see everything you need to do unless you set up notifications, and this can get overwhelming. Plus, if you keep your digital calendar on your phone, it’s so easy to get distracted when you check it and end up scrolling social media or replying to emails instead. This means you aren’t always as quick to action the tasks which you need to."
