VELCRO!! Use the heavy duty stick on kind. You can get the pre-cut pieces or get a roll and cut your own pieces. Attach one side of the Velcro to the wall, one side to the insulation board. When you're done, pull down the insulation board and store it. Leave the pieces on the wall. Buy a cheap flannel backed plastic tablecloth. Attach the appropriate pieces of Velcro to the top edge of the plastic side of the tablecloth. Instant removeable design wall using the same pieces of Velcro that you left on the wall!!

I use the pink insulation board covered with flannel fabric secured with push pins at the edge of the board. It stays up on the wall because it is the same width as the wall so it is held in place by the door molding on one side and the wall corner on the other side. I have it only as high as I can reach, but it makes sense to have it high enough for the ceiling to hold the top of it in place. In my previous home I used heavy duty double sticky stuff on the back, but don't need it here. I like the foam because I can stick pins in it. Mine stays on the wall, but it would be simple enough to take it down if necessary.

I duct taped 2 of the 4x8 ft insulation sheets together ... as a hinge. Now when my wall isn't in use it is folded up and fits behind a tall bookcase in my living room. The part that shows is draped with a throw and then a mola over that. Everyone thinks it is a design element in my living room.

When I need to use it I just pull it out and it goes against my patio doors and the adjacent wall.

What about using large clips that men use in the workshop to hold the quilt onto the top of the boards.

Good idea. When payday comes, the hardware store will be the first stop!

Foam core boards. You can get them in various sizes and thickness. They also come in packages of three in office supply stores. Mine is tacked on the wall and right now has 3 different projects on it. I would like to get more to have a bigger work wall.
