If you have a large wall and the room for a design wall, Do It!! I find mine to be Invaluable! We used a couple left over sheets of foam board that we used in the basement for insulation. I covered them with fleece fabric purchased from a remnant bin. I was lucky to get two nice big white pieces of it. I just stretched those over the foam board and pinned 'em in place. My spouse nailed them up on the wall and TAAA DAAA-Design Wall! It isn't all that pretty, but is very functional and I almost always have something up there.
