Notice boards and whiteboards

Stay organised with a notice board, whiteboard or family calendar

A busy life can quickly become cluttered, but with a classic notice board, whiteboard or family calendar, you can create more structure and overview. All three solutions make it easy to gather important information in one place - whether it's to-do lists, appointments or to-dos.

A traditional notice board is ideal for receipts and invitations, so you always have the most important things within reach. A whiteboard offers flexibility when writing notes, planning projects or brainstorming. A family calendar allows the whole household to coordinate appointments, activities and chores so nothing gets forgotten.

Use a notice board to keep everything organised

A notice board is a simple yet effective way to keep important papers, notes and messages organised and easily accessible. It provides a quick overview so you don't have to deal with messy piles of papers and forgotten appointments.

For example, you can use classic notice boards to organise shopping lists, doctor's appointments, invitations, receipts or important deadlines or reminders. Many people place them in the kitchen, hallway or at their desks so they're always within reach, and you can easily hang up papers. The beauty of a notice board is that you can easily add, remove or reorganise the content using a few thumbtacks.

Keep track of plans with a family calendar

A family calendar is a great tool for keeping track of the entire household's appointments and activities. It typically hangs in the kitchen or hallway where everyone can easily see and update it.

With a family calendar, you can keep everything from school events and extracurricular activities to birthdays and play dates in one place. Many calendars have separate columns for each family member, so it's easy to see who's doing what - and when. This avoids double bookings and misunderstandings.

The great thing about a family calendar is that it creates a visual overview of the month. When everyone can follow the plans, everyday life becomes easier to coordinate. Plus, you can quickly add changes so everyone is always up to date.

Set up a whiteboard in the office or kitchen

A whiteboard is a magnetic board and a practical solution for creating an overview. It's typically used in the home office for planning tasks, brainstorms and to-do lists. It can also serve as a family board in the kitchen for to-do lists, weekly meal plans or messages - just like a classic notice board.

You can quickly write notes or appointments on the board with a whiteboard marker and easily erase them with a cleaning spray when plans change. With magnets, you can also hang receipts, recipes or pictures directly on the board.

How to choose the right solution for your needs

When choosing between a notice board, whiteboard or family calendar, it's important to consider what you need. Do you need to collect small messages and receipts? Then a notice board is often the obvious choice as it's great for quick storage of important papers.

Do you want to be able to update and change things on the fly? A whiteboard may be more suitable as you can erase and add to it. A family calendar is ideal if you need a comprehensive overview of the entire household's activities.

Size is another important factor. If you have limited wall space, a small noticeboard or compact whiteboard may be sufficient. However, if you need space for more notes, lists and papers, a larger version may be necessary.

Think about the placement of your notice board, whiteboard or family calendar

The placement of your notice board, whiteboard or family calendar plays a big role in how effectively you can use the tool in everyday life. It is, therefore, important to hang your notice board, whiteboard or family calendar in a place that makes sense for your everyday life.

A notice board should be placed in a central location in your home, such as in the kitchen, hallway or entrance. The central location means you can quickly glance at it to find reminders, important messages or receipts.

A whiteboard works best in the home office, where it can be used for planning, brainstorming and to-do lists. If you want it to help the whole family keep track of everyday life, it can also be hung in the kitchen or hallway so everyone can easily write and update.

A family calendar should hang in a visible place so that all family members have access to it and can easily update or get an overview of all plans. Place it in the kitchen, where it can become a natural part of the daily routine.

FAQ

How do I hang a noticeboard?

You can hang a notice board using screws or nails depending on the wall material and the weight of the board. Make sure the board is at eye level and securely fastened so that it doesn't tilt or risk falling down.

Should I choose a cork or magnetic whiteboard?

Choose a corkboard if you want to attach papers with thumbtacks and if you prefer a classic look. A magnetic whiteboard is better if you often want to write and erase or hang up documents with magnets. The choice depends on your needs.

How do I clean my whiteboard?

To clean a whiteboard, use a dry-erase board sponge or a microfibre cloth. You can also use a whiteboard cleaner. It's important that you avoid using permanent markers as they cannot be removed again.
